Sleep training?

Hi! I have a 5.5m old girl and I’m contemplating sleep training her using the Ferber method. I’m looking for people who have sleep trained or are thinking about it. Any tips? Anything we should know before we start?

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?
