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

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...

Is it normal ?

Hi everyone, my baby is 11 weeks 5 days old. Today he slept from 14:00 pm until 17:00 pm. He woke up because he was hungry and drank a full 10 oz (about 300 ml) bottle. Is this normal? Has anyone else's baby done this?

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 🥲

Sterilising bottles

Hi I just wanted some advice, my baby is now seven months and I have obviously been sterilising her bottle since she was born I’ve seen a lot of people say they stop once they start weaning. Do you think I will be okay to start putting my baby bottles in the dishwasher instead? She is constantly putting things in her mouth no matter how much I try to keep everything sterilised. It’s just impossible.🤣 we have also started weaning and I don’t sterilise the plates or spoons.

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!
