Baby bibs

Hi everyone ❤️

I’m a first-time mum to an 8-week-old little girl, and I’ve realised one of the things that frustrates me most is… baby bibs! 😂

I seem to be constantly trying to put a bib on while holding her, and I find both Velcro and poppers really fiddly to do one-handed.

Velcro catches on everything (and can catch their hair!), and poppers always seem to need two hands at the exact moment I don’t have them.

It’s got me wondering whether I’m the only one, or if other parents feel the same.

I’d love to hear your honest thoughts:

🤍 Do you find putting bibs on one-handed difficult?

🤍 What’s your biggest frustration with baby bibs?

🤍 If there was a bib with a secure magnetic fastening for ease of use (designed specifically to be safe for babies), is that something you’d consider buying? Or would it not interest you?

🤍 Is there anything else you’d change about bibs?

I’m not selling anything, I genuinely just had this idea after struggling myself and wondered if other parents have the same problem before I look into it any further.

I’d really appreciate any feedback. Thank you! 😊

Settling in sessions nursery

I’ve book my daughters settling in sessions for nursery she gets 2 2 hour sessions. They said the first one I’ll stay with her and the second one i leave her which is very strange I think unless I’ve heard her wrong. Anyways I booked these without thinking 2-4pm and she normally naps at 3pm should I try to move it or keep it as is ?

Breast aversion

I went back to work when baby was 8 weeks old and pumped/gave bottle. He now doesn’t want to breastfeed anymore despite never having had issue with it before. He gets angry if I so much as offer him the boob. He’ll still breastfeed at night if he’s nice and sleepy but as soon as he’s properly awake he’ll refuse to latch and start crying. I feel so rejected

Building Our Registry

Hi mamas!
I'm currently expecting my first baby girl and I trying to building our registry for items that I absolutely need and will use. I've heard a lot of different opinions of what I will need and use and then others are different, which I don't know what to get and it's starting to stress me out! Any recommendations and suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Own room?

Is it safe and okay for me to put baby boy in his own room now he’s 6 months next week? My partner is so loud and gets up early that he is waking him up so much.

Putting down for bed

My LO is three months old and up until a week ago he was very content and always was easy to put him down in his next to me crib but now wakes up every single time and cries as soon as he hits the crib, I’ve tried putting him down on my bed to see if helps but he does the same thing but eventually falls asleep! At the minute he just wants to be held and to stay asleep that way.

Has anyone else had the same issue or is there any way I can solve it?

Newborn trenches

My girl was born on the 24th, and lemme tell you I LOVE being a girl mom🩷 my only issue right now is she’s got her days and nights soooo mixed up, like I’m talking she sleeps nearly all day except to feed every 2-4 hours MAX ( I don’t ever let her surpass four hours because we’re trying to get her back up to birth weight) so I’ve been pumping when she has long naps and getting anywhere from 3-5oz in 20 minutes (10mins on each side)

We EBF aside from getting a bottle when dad wants to feed her, usually at night when I have to shower because my girl will not sleep at night. She’ll eat 3oz easily from a bottle and still wants more. I get worried about over feeding her because she’s been spitting up as of late.

My question is, how can I get her to sleep at night? She gets fed, burped, diaper change and a change of clothes before bed. I feed her until she falls asleep, and then when I put her down she wakes up and starts rooting so I’ll feed her again and she’ll fall right asleep after 5 minutes. I slept with her for the first week because of her choking scare, but we started to move her into her own bed in my room last night.

Should I be doing something different? I haven’t had a newborn in 10 years so I feel like I’m in no man’s land😅 ANY advice would help at this point, I just want my girl on some kind of schedule until she’s old enough to actually get her in a routine.
