Baby Carriers

Are there any slings or baby carriers that are possible to use post csection?? Obviously not straight away but after the first few weeks. This is my 3rd baby and first section, currently have an ergobaby 360 that my 2nd practically lived in but already the thought of using that for a while makes me wince 😅 ideally need one for the school run with my eldest as middle will be in the pram! thank you x

My 2-week-old cries A LOT — especially during diaper changes. Is this normal? 🥺

My baby girl is 2 weeks and 3 days old, and she cries quite a lot, especially when we change her diaper. We’ve tried things like dipping the wipes in warm water so they don’t feel cold, having a toy nearby, playing soothing music, using a pacifier, etc., but she still gets very upset.

She’s also cluster feeding every 15–20 minutes sometimes, and other times every 30 minutes to an hour. An hour between feeds feels manageable, but the difficult part is that she often contact naps in between. As soon as we put her down, she starts rooting again and searching for the nipple.

Sometimes after a feed, she’ll just keep the nipple in her mouth like a pacifier. And even when she doesn’t seem hungry, she often wants a pacifier during the day.

At night, we’re giving her around 60–90 ml of expressed breast milk via bottle.

I know newborns can be very demanding, but honestly, her crying can feel unbearable sometimes, and I’m finding it really difficult to know whether she’s hungry, needs comfort, or something else is bothering her.

Did anyone else go through something similar around 2–3 weeks? How did you cope with the constant crying, feeding and contact naps? Any tips would be really appreciated. ❤️

Feeding to Sleep

Hey I’m a FTM and during the height of my baby’s 6-8 week fussiness I started feeding him to sleep as it was the only thing that worked. He’s 9 weeks now and wondering what other methods yall do to get your baby to sleep? He really struggles to get to deep sleep any other way except feeding or baby wearing

Pacifier issues

My baby is 7 months and never taken on or used a pacifier and I am wanting to get him to take one in the evening.

Has anyone successfully gotten their baby to take a paci at such an older age? If so, I how did you do it? What strategies did you have?

TIA x

Breast milk available!!

I’m looking to give away a bunch of my breast milk if anyone needs any. I’m collecting an average of 60oz every 24 hours so my deep freezer is FULL. I don’t want to have to pour it out because I know there are moms/babies in need. PLEASE reach out if you are interested or know of someone who could use it.

Thinning hair

Has anyone found anything that genuinely helps hair getting thicker? I used to have the thickest hair, down to my bum. Then after I had my son it just won’t stop falling out. Even now, I’m nearly 15 months PP and every day clumps of hair are falling out, even when I’m sleeping and roll over strands of hair get wrapped around my neck or hands. My hair line is so thin you can just see scalp, and if it wasn’t for how long it is, I’d genuinely look bald. Really starting to worry and stress out about it.

Kids are mind blowing!

My 8 year old daughter cut off her eyelashes at school because her friend told her it was a good idea… I am sick. I genuinely cannot wrap my mind around this. Drop you’re experiences in the comments 😭
