Hi mums ,
How do you use the bathroom when you are home alone with the baby ?
I am looking for ideas , my mum returned home and now I'll be on my own during office hours when my husband is working.
Thank you

I have the changing mat on the floor of the bathroom so I put him down there, he doesn’t seem to mind too much!

I his moses basket on the floor (without the stand) and put him in there just outside the door

Maybe try bring a bouncer in if u have one and just pop baby in there x

I just hold it until she’s chilling somewhere then just go quickly x

I put my baby in his bouncer at the bathroom door, so I can keep an eye on him when I’m in the bathroom x

I put my little girl in her bouncy chair, moses basket, down on her play mat, her little pod etc. At this age they won't go anywhere and you can leave them in another room whilst you use the toilet. 3rd baby and I'm always popping out of the room to do stuff. I wouldn't be able to move her to each room I went in, I'd be forever moving her! Haha xx

Breast feeding pain

Hi everyone, I’m 4 weeks postpartum and still dealing with nipple pain during breastfeeding. It’s gotten to the point where I’ve been pumping and bottle-feeding instead because the pain is so overwhelming. Everyone keeps saying it should ease up by 2-3 weeks max, so I’m wondering has anyone else dealt with pain lasting this long? Is this still within the range of normal, or should I be worried?

Best product to clean clothes with poop (UK)

Hello
I was wondering what are the best products to clean poonamies (I think it’s the correct term? lol) on clothes?
I am due soon and I’m keep to have the best products or methods that are available in the uk.
In terms of laundry detergents we are using Fairy non bio capsules. Is there any products that I could use before on the clothes ?

Poorly from nursery

Since starting nursery 2 months ago my son (nearly one) has been poorly literally every other week! Sometimes even weekly. It’s driving me insane! Having to miss work, or leave work early and lose out on my wages but still have to pay the super expensive nursery fees 😬 it’s awful for him too! When he was starting I had so many people say their kids were always sick from nursery but my GOD I was not expecting this it’s absolutely relentless! My question is… at what age does this get better?! 😩

Feeling trapped by the routine

I feel like no matter how hard I try I just cannot get out of the house when I'm on my own. We've hit the 4 month sleep changes, so I'm trying really hard to have a consistent nap schedule (day naps have been hit harder than night sleep). But this makes getting out and going for walks etc impossible. Baby is EBF too so with the weather and distracted feeds and growth spurts I feel like I'm constantly nursing. And when I'm not nursing she's asleep. I tried to get us out for a walk today for the afternoon nap but we failed once again. I'm currently nap trapped upstairs after giving her a "quick feed" before our walk.

Question to the parents who have no adult bath, how easy/hard is it with a baby/toddler, and do you wish you had one?

Me and my husband are looking at buying a different home, however the house we love does not have a bath. To those who don’t have a bath, how hard is it to bathe them and what do you use? Do you wish you had a bath? My husband really wants this home and so did I until I started thinking about the bath situation. For context my baby is currently 9mo. Thanks in advance!

Unpopular opinion👀 baby’s don’t need baths as often as a we think. Maybe 1-2 times a week. But even months 0-5 it doesn’t feel necessary they aren’t dirty.

Like my toddlers get one every day or every other day but baby went like 2 months before having a real bath.
