Mamia nappies - Cord cut out section?!

Just read the packaging on these nappies after using them for a few days and realised they're supposed to have a cord cut out section but they don't?
Am i missing something or are the three packs i've gone through all fibbing? My little one's cord is off now but is taking a while to heal so i've been stuck folding these down so they don't go over his button whilst it dries and heal properly, a cut out section would've been ideal

Struggling with sleep

Does anyone co sleep and find their (Velcro) baby gets up eyes closed multiple times a night for you? I usually pick them up so it doesn’t turn into a full wake but so exhausting. Any been through this? What’s the solution? LO is a toddler now so it is hard.

Son touching his w***y

My little one has started touching his downstairs every-time I change his nappy 🙈 he pulls it. Anyone else experiencing this?

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 🤣🤦🏼‍♀️

Feeling down and defeated

I’m feeling some what down and think I’ve got postnatal depression. My 5 month old is just refusing to do anything but cry on me, not sleep or eat (he does have a clean nappy), and my partner pretty much treats me like I’m his maid and not his partner. I don’t feel at all happy with my life and I just feel stuck. I know I’m not being the best mother I can be but this has become my daily life now. I don’t know what to do. I really don’t want judgment but I’ve never felt so alone. I feel like the worst parent going.

baby carrier

sometimes she makes huge fuss to be held so i order a baby carrier from shein it’s cloth one i love that one but that makes my back hurt so bad and i got one baby carrier as a gift it got a kinda chair underneath my husband gets scared he says she’s small and her legs get open way much i want something to support my back little bit and long term for sure

Leaving baby

Has anyone been away from their baby for a few days yet? I’m still breastfeeding and have started solids but have a short trip booked at start of October and feel so anxious about it. This is my third baby and I know she’ll be fine with her Dad but we feed through the night still and I’m just not really sure how to manage that change. I also don’t want it to put an end to breastfeeding for once I’m back either. My plan is to pump while I’m away to keep supply up. Any advice appreciated 🩷
