Sleep training?

I am waiting for my daughter to be 6 months to start a sleep training method. Currently, she only does naps on me and nights are divided into two where my husband keeps her until 10:30-11:30 (she sleeps on him) and then we co-sleep. I am not sleeping obviously since she eats often or wakes up because she wants comfort🙃.

Any advice? What did you do? What do you recommend?

She’s extremely attached to both of us and we tried the cry out method when she hit the 4month regression and it was HORRIBLE. I cried with her, she was way too young. She’s 5 months now and we’re going on a trip but as soon as we’re back, for my sanity we need to do something about it🥲.

Most absorbent nappies for overnight

Can anyone recommend a really good absorbent nappy? My little one is 7m old and is a belly sleeper, I’m having to change his pyjamas and bedding every morning as he is totally saturated!

I initially used Asda little angels nappies but switched to pampers baby dry recently to see if they were any better, he is still leaking with those too. I have also tried adding a nappy liner into the front over night for extra protection but he is still wetting through.

Just for reference he is a big boy and in size 6/7 nappies he weighs over 30lb 🐷 I struggle to get nappies to fit around his belly, he has a bigger than average belly as well.

All of the ‘night time nappies’ in the shops are for older babies/ toddlers and are pull ups, but as I said my boy is big.. should I try these??

TIA from my laundry basket lmao xox

Edit: have weighed him and he is 26lb 🤣🤦🏼‍♀️

Postpartum

What effects did you guys experience with your postpartum
trying to see if what I’m feeling is normal

Breastfeeding

Weird question but I don’t know if anyone else has this happening to them, but I noticed when I get ready to breast-feed my son I’ll squeeze my nipples and there’s milk coming out of the Ariola that’s around it has anyone else had that happen?

Grieving and raising a 14 months baby

Hi,

Has anyone has experience loosing their mom while raising?

My mom got diagnosed with cancer November 2025 it was a roller coaster of emotions, hospital stays, suffering, family tensions, support, taking care of a sick mom etc

I live in WA and had to leave my home to pretty much live in CA to care for my mom the hard part was that my baby boy was about 7 months then…
While seeing my mom getting weaker and cancer doing what cancer does to a person… I had to raise my baby boy…

Unfortunately my mom was not lucky to get better and stay with us she left this world June 7… my baby and I where by her side when she took her last breath… we where with her since she got diagnosed… that was supper hard..

Now I came back home to WA suffering from ptsd, anxiety, grieving and feeling like I’m a different person after experiencing my mom sickness…

My baby boy has a delay in his motor skills due to him losing important months of being able to be in the floor to practice crawling my mom’s home was very little I was staying on a bunkbed by her hospital bed so no space for floor time for my baby… now he is 14 months and is just now getting lots of floor time and he is getting stronger…

Any ways any advice of mom’s out there going through the same things in life?

Thank you for reading me! 💕🥰

Formula!

Hola mamis! I’m gonna start giving my baby formula so he can get more weight. I don’t really know too much about it, do any of you know the difference between the formulas? Which one is better? Which one has less artificial and not healthy ingredients?

My son is 11 weeks.
Thank you 🙏🏽
