Car seat

I know the car seat I want, but I don’t have the money to afford it at this moment. Anybody know how I can get a car seat that is safe and the one I want for a good offer?

Oral dysfunction ?

FTM and I wondered whether I need to speak to a doctor etc
My little boy is 9 weeks old and we had latch issues initially with breastfeeding and was referred for tongue tie which he doesn’t have.
He struggles to keep a dummy in his mouth all the time.
He mouth breathes a lot.
We combi feed, and sometimes he struggles with his bottle, we have upped his teat size as he was taking for ever with no1 teats and falling asleep, now he sometimes struggles with breathing and drinking and the muslin we use gets pretty wet as it’s coming out of the side of his mouth.
And his lips look like he has the rippling (forgot the name of it)
When I’ve googled oral dysfunction some of these things indicate this but also I don’t know if this is pretty normal.

Photo below- after falling asleep breast feeding, apparently the tongue needs to be on the roof of his mouth.

Which sometimes he does but not all the time. Is this something I need to keep an eye on/ speak to a doctor ?

Weaning off of breast to only bottle

i'm so lost on what to do. My baby is nine weeks old and I'm trying to wean off of breast-feeding and only do bottle feeding milk. He keeps refusing bottles. I tried the Dr. Brown ones. I'm gonna try the pigeon ones next if anyone has any tips on how to just wean off of breast and only get bottles please let me know I'm struggling.

Cradle cap

What are mamas using for cradle cap?

Going abroad with baby for first time

Planning a much needed trip to Greece, and I’m wondering what to do about a car seat. We will be renting a car and I’ve seen that you ca rent a car seat but it’s sometimes a bit hit and miss on the condition and availability. So on that basis do we take our own? How does it work taking it on the plane? And what happens if it gets lost?!
Thank you!

Nursery start at 13.5 mo

Hi! I have a breastfed baby boy who’s due to start nursery mid Aug - initially for a couple of hours, hopefully progressing to 6-7h 3x per week by mid Sep. He’s nursing to sleep - almost impossible to put him down for a nap (still on two naps) without a breast unless it’s a car. He eats solids better for the last 4-5 weeks and I’m trying to reduce daytime nursing but it’s not easy, when he wants it he wants it ;)
I don’t want to stop breastfeeding yet, possibly not until he’s 2 but I’m worried about nursery! They say babies adapt but has anyone experience similar and can share? Do I just start the adaptation without making any changes at home and let him adjust over the weeks when he’s there?

Could I have (accidentally) harmed her?

I’m panicking. I just moved from EBF to formula three weeks ago (baby is 6 months) and I use a Tommy tippee prep machine to help making the bottles. Because of sleep deprivation, I must have set the settings of the prep machine all wrong, because I’ve only just clocked that I’ve been giving her 7 scoops of formula but 8 oz of water. It’s meant to be 7 scoops for 7 oz, so I’ve essentially been giving her overly diluted bottles for three weeks now. How severe is this? Do you think these three weeks could have harmed her? Do I need to take her to see a doctor urgently? She seems to be doing well and seems to be her normal happy self, but I want to make sure I haven’t done something terribly wrong for her health. (Please be nice, I didn’t do this on purpose, my baby wakes up every hour these days so I’m very sleep deprived and brains not working)
