Moms what are guys doing to keep your baby warm post bath time till their clothes are on? Mine cries like no other, I need ideas on how to prevent that.

We use 2 towels- wrap him in a hooded towel straight after bath and dry him with that, then remove and wrap in snuggly towel (it's dry so keeps him warm as nappy and clothes go on).

As above and cuddles.. now my LO has quick dry and wants to run around the bedroom naked for as long as possible 😅

If you don't make the bath too different in temperature than your room environment, your little one shouldn't mind it as much. I found that my little one doesn't cry anymore when I take her out of the towel because it's not a huge temperature adjustment. Then, I can lotion her up and put her in her pj's.

Some babies just hate it and cries after bath it’s a phase, mine hated being cold and naked and there’s a heated light and a heated towel rail in the bathroom but hubby mainly bathed him in the laundry sink, we just do it as quick as possible the change after, he’d scream his head off and one person would try w the dummy in his mouth and the other would change him as quick as they can until we could pick him up and console him 😅 bath was always after dinner so hubby was home to bathe him while I tackled cleaning the kitchen from dinner.

Lopsided!

My LG only feeds from my right boob - I’ve been told by the Breastfeeding Network that this is perfectly normal which is fine. I try to pump from the left occasionally but I don’t always get round to it… now I’ve noticed that my right boob is bigger than my left (which makes sense) but does this mean I’m permanently lopsided?! Will pumping more even then out? Will it be even out when I start weaning?

Crawling?

My 6 month old is having a hard time. He is trying to crawl but he doesn’t push up on his arms. He uses his legs but not his arms. Anyone have any tips on how to help him?

Rookie mistake today, my kids are far more wise than me.

I did my daughters hair this morning, a cute little updo style with multiple little braids conjoining, anyways I used those tiny rubber bands and by the time we were in the school drop off line they had all broken because of the hair products I used I guess have oil that disintegrates rubber🫠 then when I was ranting and throwing a little hissy fit my kid just says “it’s ok nothing lasts forever”

Car seat? Help!

Hiya, I’ve slowly started buying things for baby (finally- due Oct 9). We got our pram second hand and know we need to get a new car seat. Does anyone have a recommendations? I don’t know where to start. I think I want one with an isofix base so can turn baby either way and I’ve heard they’re easier to deal with.
Thanks!

Weight loss

Anyone have any tips on how to not loose a ton of weight breastfeeding. I’m trying my hardest but not having cravings anymore. Makes it hard to eat. I’ve gone from 1:30 to 1:05 and I hate it so much. I don’t know what to do but I’m not gonna stop breast-feeding just so I can keep weight.

Activities with a 3 week old

Hey Guys!

My little girl is 3 weeks old. I have no idea what activities I should be doing with her. Is it normal that her wake windows usually only last the amount of time of nappy change, bottle and burp?

The Health Visitor has mentioned Tummy Time, but she doesn't seem to be awake long enough to do this.

Any advice?
