Behaviours
Does anyone else's LO often flap their arms? It can be when he's excited, annoyed, upset but also sometimes randomly. Sometimes he also tenses up and goes really red and gets really intense. Does anyone else relate to this, or have anything their LO does that they wonder about? X

Tickling
Do you allow family members to tickle your child? I personally find it really hard to watch as I hate being tickled, and although my daughter is kind of smiling i donāt think she enjoys it. How do you tell them to stop doing it? Or am I being over the top?
My daughter is almost 15 months

Baby breastfeeding while asleep?
My 3month old has started to keep drinking while she falls asleep? As in, Im nursing her, shes suckling, and then she nods off but...just keeps suckling? Lazily, but definitely still chomped on. She fights me when I try to break the seal, and if I dont remove the nipple from her she'll sleep-suckle for 20, 30min easily. When I do remove it successfully she wakes a few minutes later, absolutely furious!
Is this a 3month thing? My poor nipples š¢

C-section mums..
How soon after your sections did you go for a bath, Iāve read your not meant to soak the scar/wound in a bath but doesnāt say when you can š«£ sometimes a shower just doesnāt cut it for āme timeā š
Also how are people keep it dry, I have a slight overhang so looking for the best way to keep the scar dry without rubbing it with a towel like I want too!

Washing clothes before baby gets here.. they're all ruined??
I've been washing the newborn and 0-3 clothes I've got for my baby. Online I saw advice saying don't use fabric softener as it's not good for babies, just use non-bio detergent, but the clothes are coming out feeling SO rough compared to how soft they were š there's no way this is better for a newborn than straight out of the packet?? I feel like I'm ruining all the clothes.
I've been using Fairy Non-Bio.

MILās
Is it just me or do most MILās constantly criticise the way you parent as a mum. She has never really seen my husband do much other than hold baby or change the occasional nappy, and that apparently makes him the best dad in the world! Meanwhile I do everything as the mum and she has never said anything like that to me. Not even the slightest compliment, and I know that Iām trying my best but how do I not let this get to me. My husband doesnāt even offer to take the baby for a while whilst I rest or take a shower, I have to ask!! It might be the postpartum hormones taking over but I just want to be able make it clear to her that I take care of the baby 95% of the time.
