Bath Time

My little girl absolutely loves a bath but screams uncontrollably when we get her out. The only thing I can think of is her hating the feeling of being cold when she gets out. We wrap her up in her towel straight away and make sure the towel is warm but it doesn't seem to help, does anyone else have this issue? It's obviously a very warm summer so the house really isn't cold...

Both my children were like this and is was purely because they didn’t want to get out. Giving them one of their bath toys to play with while we are getting them dry and dressed helped.

My 5 week old does the same thing! She loves the bath but hates getting out. Screams and cries until I get her fully dressed and pick her back up. I can’t even lotion her because I need the crying to stop for my insanity 😅

We would use a heating pad, and place it on the lowest setting, under a blanket on the bed, where we would place them after the bath. A few layers between the baby and the heating pad. This always seemed to help. I would turn the heating pad on before we got into the water; so it had time to get the towel warm.

Bedtime nappies

Our little boy has started sleeping through the night but as a result his nappy is rather full on the morning and leaking. We currently use pampers and they have been perfect up until now anyone got any recommendations of nappies to try!

Not doing enough?!

Does anyone else feel like they are not doing enough with their baby? Mine is 5 weeks old today and as an example I’ve just got him in his cot with no visual stimulation as I’m trying to get him to nap but it’s been like 30 mins and he’s still awake and I’m thinking - is he bored?! But I just want a lil nap for him so I can get a couple bits done! I find the days go by in such a blur and by the end I feel guilty that I didn’t give him enough “play time” with like black and white sensory things or visual stimulation. I’m worried I’m setting him up for failure at only 5 weeks old looool. Please tell me I’m not the only one!

Baby slept all night 🌙🥳

Baby is 11 weeks tomorrow, and he slept through the whole night for the first time last night (in his own bed!) 💙

His dad and I were cheering and celebrating this morning!

Let's hope this is just the beginning of sleeping like this and not just a one-off 🤞

Is it normal?

My kid gives us push back almost every night about taking a shower. He will tell us no, or I don’t wanna, and will whine and sometimes angrily say no and stomp his feet. We have to pretty much be stern and use our mean voices before he goes sometimes. Is this normal, or a behavior issue??

Best nappies for overnight

Not a fan of Tesco nappies since they have changed their branding, new Fred and Flo ones seem flimsy and less absorbent so on the hunt for new nappies that do not cost an arm and a leg! What are your go to nappies for overnight use?

Eye tracking and looking at hands

Hiya, my little one is 4 weeks old and isn’t yet tracking with his eyes or looking at his hands. He has just started to look at our faces but only for a few seconds then just looks around the room or past us. Anyone else’s buba like this?
