Question
Is it okay to let my 23 month old roam while I shower?
The house is baby proofed.

I wouldn't personally, but that's me 🤷🏼♀️
Do you leave the bathroom door open?
Personally, I wouldn’t, mama. Even in a fully baby proofed house, there are still little things that could happen that you might not anticipate, like they could climb onto the sofa and fall, get into something you hadn’t thought of, etc. At 23 months they’re so curious and unpredictable 😂 I personally wouldn’t want to take the risk, even if it’s only for the few minutes in the shower.
I used to have to put toys out in the bathroom just so I could get a shower till my little one was around 3.
You know your child better than we do. For my 2yo, I usually bring her a bucket of toys into the bathroom to keep her entertained while I handle my business

People with 2 or more children!
What ages did your children share a room? I have a 2.5 year old who sleeps through the night no issues, and a 7 month old who currently still wakes at least once in the night and has a bottle, we have a 2 bed house so they will be sharing a room and some point but just wondering what ages people moved their youngest in with other kids !

Period return- combi-feeding
I’m 8.5 weeks pp and my period has just come back. I am combi-feeding (50% breastmilk and 50% formula). Does this timeline seem normal? I don’t know why I was expecting longer before it came back 😭

Cold sore and baby is two weeks old
I have a tingling on my lip and I’m thinking it’s the start of a cold sore as has been the case in the past. Has anyone had this before?? How did you protect your baby from exposure? I don’t know how best to protect him. I’ve obviously stopped kissing him, but I was kissing him today before I felt this tingle. I’m worried about spreading this to him and exposure he may have already had. Is it overboard to contact the GP?
I’ll be getting patches tomorrow but want to make sure I’m doing everything I can, so if anyone has any suggestions thanks in advance!
I feel so guilty and awful that I may have exposed him. It’s second nature to kiss him now so I’m struggling a little and I’m worried I’ll slip up. I’m so angry I have to worry about this. Thanks to my grandma when I was young, I was exposed and now I have to deal with this. To those mummas saying no to people kissing their babies, keep saying no you’re doing what’s best for them!

Own room
When did you move your baby into their own room. My LO is 5 and a half months old and I have a cold currently and I'm just constantly waking her up in the night . Is it okay to move her separately

Gripe Water
Has anyone else dealt with this? My 7-week-old struggles every night to pass gas, grunting and kicking for hours starting at 2:00 AM. It's making sleep impossible for both of us! Has anyone tried gripe water,or other remedies, and did you actually see results? Would love to hear what worked for you. We do have Infacol but cannot really see improvement.

What does pelvic floor therapy involve ?
I’m not sure if I need to shave or if I’m peeing on myself a little.
