Hiya, we recently got back from Egypt with our 5 month.
I didn’t use the crib they put in the room, as the bed was rather large so I had her in bed with us.
I did take some cot sheets with me to be on the safe in case I did use it. So I would definitely recommend taking your own. X

Why not take a travel cot?

I co-sleep x

We took the pram with the carrycot and our LO slept in that when she was 13 weeks old x

Just got back from croatia with my 6 month old and he slept in a travel cot provided by the hotel and he slept way better than at home. Not sure if it’s because he enjoyed the extra space or he was just tired from the heat and being out all day

We took our little one to Spain at 3.5 months and he slept well in the hotels travel cot, despite being used to a next to me at home. If anything, he slept better. Embraced the space!

We went on holiday when my first was 5 months. She used to sleep in her next to me, very badly! On holiday she slept in the travel cot the hotel provided, and she slept pretty well.
But the beds were big and if wouldnt had wanted to go down in the cot I wouldve had her in bed with us. We did that with our 19 month old when we went away this summer

Formula flasks

I’m new to formula feeding I make bottles up at home but when out & about I use pre made bottles.
I want to be able to make formula bottles when out so I’ve bought the Nuby rapid cool and thermal flask. But the capacity of the flask is only enough for 1 feed without refilling it.

Where can I get a larger flask that keeps water above 70 degrees? I’ve searched online but they’re all up to 50 degrees.

Thank you in advance! X

Am I the asshole for being nervous/ paranoid when my mother in law has my baby even when she’s just near him?

Hear me out, when I was pregnant she would always make jokes in the beginning and during my pregnancy. Saying, “oh this is our baby” and at first the way she would put it was funny but after a while it seemed possessive. So anytime she’s near him my skin crawls and when she’s holding him I can’t have a conversation with anyone because I’m so fixated on him making sure he’s okay. I don’t know, it’s probably PPA kicking my butt. Also I’ve stated multiple times he doesn’t need to be infront of a phone or tv because he’s 3 months old. Talk to him, play with him, yk. In return in a passive aggressive way I’ve been told that I’m wrong or “unfair because mummy gets to”.

I don’t know let me know y’all’s thoughts/ opinions or advice

Feeding

My 6day old is on 3oz and is currently being fed every 2 hours however sometimes she’s waking up 30 mins before this and not settling until fed . Really don’t know what to do . She doesn’t show any signs that she’s drank too much eg being sick etc .
For reference she was 8lb3oz

Combo feeding

Hey mamas! I’ve been looking into combo feeding my little one and was just wondering y’all’s opinions and which formula you would suggest? (Hes a gassy guy)

He’s six weeks old and my supply is still a little all over the place and he’s starting to eat more so i just want to make sure he can take formula incase i cant get my supply up to where he needs it in once he really starts munching!

bathing after birth

when were you told that you could have a bath? i had stitches and they told me not to have a bath but i was so zoned out that i can’t remember if they told me when it was safe to have a bath. i haven’t had one as a just incase but im dying for one😂

Im going to start ignoring everybody else kid, like they do mine when he says "Hi!"

Out at kid places and my kid comes up to u excited to say Hi to you and u give a dry "Hi" not even looking in my kids direction pisses me off.
