Breastfed baby not taking pacifier

My breastfed baby won’t take a pacifier. I bought the MAM 0-2 month one and he will spit it out or gag on it once he has a few sucks. Thing is I’m finding it really hard to put him down as he won’t settle without being carried. My firstborn was bottle fed and took the pacifier immediately but with this baby I don’t know which one to try! Any recommendations?

Friend of mine had the same issue, he took a six months one - could just look for one that is similar to thr shape of your nipple

I’m in the same boat. Baby is breastfed and also takes lansinoh bottle. Have tried MAM dummies as my son loves his but she spits it out. A lot of people have recommended the Tommee Tippee ultra light stay put dummies so I’m going to give his a go. Just need something to sooth her once I’ve exhausted all other options lol

Calpol before bed

(FTM) My 6 month old is currently teething. Nights are becoming super difficult but we’ve found having one dose of calpol before bed keeps him happy. Is it ok to be doing one a night? We don’t do any pain killers in the day as he seems fine without but without those distractions he’s fussy. We have tried alternatives like Bonjela and teething powder but they don’t seem to do much if anything.

How do I get my 9 year olds to stop wearing his brothers clothes

My boys are 13 months apart. They are 9 and 8 but my 9 year old is in clothes between 10/12 and 14s depending on brand and my 8 year old is in size 8s. But I keep catching my 9 year old wear his brothers clothes then it’s a fight with him and he doesn’t want to take them off I literally have to take them off of him myself and make him put his own clothes on him.

How do I stop this?

Also they share a room and I separate their clothes the best I can.

Crying when changing nappy

Baby is 10 days old and cries so bad every time we change his nappy, is anyone else’s little one the same?
Is there anything we can do to try and calm him down?
