Swaddle sack recommendations

Does anyone have any swaddle sack recommendations?

My 10 week old has outgrown the small Love To Dream swaddle up. He loved it as he could have his hands nearby his face. We’ve tried the medium size but there’s way too much room in the arms - it’s not calming his movements at all and he constantly wakes himself up.

At the moment he’s using a Tommee Tippee Grobag, but his arms tend to fall down in the sack so he becomes uncomfortable and wakes up.

Would be grateful if anyone had any recommendations 🩵

What advice would you give yourself?

I’m a first time mum to a nearly 6.5 month old and I’ll admit I’ve struggled quite a bit with postpartum mental health issues I’ve been referred through mental health services and at one of my recent appointments we finished the session with her asking me to reflect on what I would tell myself freshly postpartum knowing what I know now and it got me thinking just how far we’ve actually come in this time.

So I thought I would share the question. If you could go back to your freshly postpartum self what advice would you give her? I think I’d say to slow down because it goes by so quickly and to just give myself grace because you’re actually doing an amazing job (even if it doesn’t always feel like it)

Vaccines

No judgement please but wanted to get people’s options and any website or medical research about the vaccines for babies. I am really undecided on if I want my little one to have their vaccines. Some of them contain metals which scares me! Any advice would be great

Bed guard on side of cot

What is everyone’s thoughts on these? We are considering taking a side of my sons cot off and putting on of these one?

We lowered how cot recently and I’m so short I’m struggling to get him down for bed and makes resettling difficult when my partners not there. We considered getting a floor bed but really not in the financial situation for this yet.

Get nervous about things like this so would love to know! My son’s 13 months.

When to stop rear facing?

Car rear facing mirror gets kicked down every single car ride now from my long legged almost 2 year old! His legs are pretty bunched up i guess....
I'd like to keep him rear facing though? Who else loses their mirror every journey!

If breastfeeding, do people offer both breasts at each feed or just one?

I am intrigued as to any difference between offering both breasts compared to just one. For no specific reason, ive only ever offered one. My baby feeds a lot and is hungry (and grouchy!). I’m wondering if I should be offering both or if there is little difference!

Need Help!

Hi, I’m a FTM to a 4 week old baby boy. I’m concerned about my baby during evening feeds. In the morning and afternoon he usually only needs 1–2 burps, but in the evening he gets trapped burps after almost every 2–3 sips. He starts gulping the milk quickly, arches his back, breathes fast, cries, and won’t continue feeding until the burp comes out. Milk also leaks from the corners of his mouth while he’s drinking and once he burps, he settles and starts feeding again, but the same thing keeps happening throughout the feed for about 8-10 times in one feed. Does anyone know what might be causing this or has anyone experienced something similar?
