Transferring

Just thought I’d celebrate a milestone in my motherhood.
Today, after 2 years and 8 months of being a mother to my daughter, I successfully transferred her off me from falling asleep on the boob (that’s what works for us idc) into her cot.
Fast and quiet was the method, slight winge then she rolled over and is out for the count.
Feel pretty proud of myself

Am I a bad mom

I let my son (4) watch videos while he’s going to sleep.
He gets put to bed at 7 and is never awake past 8.

Twin mum advice

My twins are currently 11weeks (4 weeks corrected) and I’m really struggling at the moment. One twin is a lot smaller than the other so is constantly up in the night for feeds and it’s hard trying not to wake the other up so I’m very sleep deprived, especially since my husband has returned to work now. I also feel like I should be doing more with them during the day, but when it’s just me in the house or out with them I can’t feed two and entertain two at the same time without help. My parents and in laws are really helpful and will come and play with them while I shower or have an hour to myself but due to them still being small for their age and very refluxy none of them feel confident to have them for a few hours or feed without me or my husband there. I just feel like I’m drowning a bit at the moment and guilty that I should be doing more for the babies. Does anyone have any tips on how to routines they had or activities they did with their twins?

Floor Play

Do you really get down on the floor to play with your baby (not crawling yet) for more than 2 mins? It's so uncomfortable for me and also I don't know how to play with my young baby for more than 2mins at a time!?

Am I overreacting?

So I do have OCD. I was pushing the pram along the pavement the other day and noticed a used pepette of something with the toxic symbol all over it. I couldn’t be sure whether or not the pram wheels went over it so I gave them a quick wipe with a dettol wipe and put the pram back in the boot of the car like normal. Thing is I’m now spiralling over it and think everythings contaminated . After some advice on what you would do and also why on earth is it ok for people to drop these where kids may be walking etc . Appreciate this may sound strange just after some advice

Anxiety as a new mum

Has anyone got any advice. My newborn is 11 days old and I've been really struggling with anxiety about making sure he is OK, feeding schedules, waking through the night and a few other things. I'm seeking help but wondered if anyone can share their experiences?

Toilet trips

Hey guys,
My baby is 7 weeks old today. He has gone from having 3-4 dirty nappies a day to pooing every 12-24 hours just the once. When he does poo, it’s been super watery/runny but still dark mustard colour. He strains all day and night until this poo comes seeming really uncomfortable. Has anyone got any tips for this or experienced the same thing?
I have tried infacol and have now moved over to gripe water which he won’t really take to and I don’t want to force it. (Bottle fed baby)
