Why won’t my baby stop wanting feeding/my chest

My baby boy is now 4 weeks old and I’ve found that In the past week and a half he won’t settle easily himself he will constantly want’s latched to my breast.
I’ve tried burping , exercises , entertainment when he begins to cry and the only thing that seems to settle him or put him to sleep when this happens is going back on to my breast???? Is this normal??? at times it’s even 20 minutes or even up to a hour or two at most !

Is anyone else experiencing this or have any advice

Definitely normal for breastfed babies, It seems so far away but eventually they settle with the feeds. They’re establishing feeding and also are using it for comfort, grounding and bonding, it gets so much easier I promise 💓

This is normal

Could be a growth spurt, he might be cluster feeding or just want milk to sleep. I don’t think it’s an issue with milk supply. Usually they start drinking loads to establish a good milk supply. I’ve been breastfeeding 19 months and still going. If you have any questions you can message me x

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?! 😩

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.

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!

Freedom!

Hey ladies! Today my princess is 3 weeks old and I started to struggle with being locked down inside. I don't have PPD or PPA but my doula suggested I get out since that's my personality and it's being hindered right now. I literally drove to checkers yesterday 10 mins round trip while my friend stayed home with my baby, I felt so alive lol just here to encourage anyone else that if you are a person who is usually out and about, dont lose yourself, just get creative. Any tips or recommendations? I had a c section so it's tough to get her in her car seat by myself with my Honda Civic lol
