Mouth open sleeping

My 5yr old sleeps with his mouth open, been reading things online that this should be looked into (GP appointment booked). Has anyone else experienced this? Any advice or success stories?

Colostrum

Are people collecting colostrum even if they intend to breastfeed?

I know it doesn’t always work out as planned, but my plan would be to pump if for whatever reason I can’t breastfeed straight away, unsure whether to bother harvesting

Nappies

This is my opinion on nappies that I thought may be good to do for expecting Mums (uk version)

Mamia (Aldi) awesome cheap and rlly good
Pampers good have no complaints only purchase these if we’ve ran out of them when out and about just on expensive side
I’ve forgot make of the Lidl ones but the ones that begin with L I’ve honestly never ever had a good experience with these my baby’s nappy leaks every night when wearing them

Spare car seat…

I have the Maxi-cosi pebble 360 car seat along with the isofix which was brought brand new for my first baby, still in really good condition however we’ve just purchased a new travel system for our second and I’m not sure what do to with the car seat now.
I personally don’t believe in buying second hand car seats because of safety reasons so I don’t feel comfortable selling it especially when I don’t have the installation instructions.
I’m trying to get ideas on what else to do other than throwing it away even in almost perfect condition 🥲

Bathing baby

Currently we are bathing our 9 week old as per guidelines of 2-3 times a week however shes a very hot baby and gets very sweaty and dribbles milk a lot or I leak milk on her so shes a bit gross. Does anyone bathe their baby daily and if so would you recommend? We only bathe with soap once a week and just use water the other times. But i dont want her to get any skin problems because of her sweat or milk sitting on her for too many days...

Breast pads

I’m EBF and going through disposable breast pads like there’s no tomorrow. The reusable ones just leak right through as they’re fabric. I’m 5 weeks PP. how long until I can just wear my nursing bras without a pad as they get all bunched up each time I go to feed and I just want to stop having to buy so many!

Latching advice?

Hello Mamas! Baby girl #2 has made her arrival yesterday! She is healthy but sadly takes after her big sister when it comes to breast feeding!💔 I am going to continue to try as long as possible but subbing with formula & will be pumping what I can in hopes we’ll get just breast milk at least from pumping (and won’t need formula🤞🏻). What best worked for you when latching/getting babies interested & what best helped my strictly pumping moms milk supply?🥲🤞🏻
