I have two girls; my toddler is 22 months old and my infant is 4 months. When can/should I start to bathe them together?

I think I started when baby could sit on their own. So maybe after 6 months

I definitely had started bathing my girls together by time my baby was 5 months and toddler was 22 months but may have been earlier

When my little baby could sit in the seat thingy, 6mos-ish

So my son is 19 months and my daughter at the time was a month old. I did try to bath them together my son decided to take a cup full of water and dump it all over her face. Let’s just say we won’t be trying that again😂

I think it depends on your eldest, i have a 23m old and 4m old and they will not be sharing a bath for a long while 😅 but if your eldest is quite gentle and aware of the baby then you could definitely start soon x

I started when my two were 20 months and 3 months

I think it depends on the children and their behaviour, my toddler likes to jump on my baby and lay on him like a frog so that my baby can’t get up because my toddler wants to pin him down to cuddle him, so definitely no baths for them… but there are much calmer toddlers who could do it!

4 month regression

Moms, I'm desperate. My 14 week old baby boy has been waking every hour the past three nights and I just offer him the boob to go back to sleep. What else can I do at this age instead of just offering him the boob ?! Im afraid he now thinks he needs it every time to fall asleep and he isn't hungry. I need to sleep ...

Colostrum harvesting

Probably a bit late 😅 38 + 3 days, but is everybody harvesting colostrum before their babies arrive?? My midwife said I don't have to and I was paranoid about inducing labour early on (wouldn't mind if she stayed inside just a litttttle bit longer). But now I'm worried that if I don't, there's a chance I won't be able to give her what she needs when she's first born (planning to breastfeed if poss). Any thoughts/advice welcome!!

Sleep Issues

My daughter is 11 months and still doesn’t sleep through the night, she wakes up about 2-3 times and wants to sleep in our arms. We will rock her and then put her back in the crib only to sometimes have her wake back up an hour later. If we leave her she just screams endlessly. Anything we can try or has anyone had the same thing happen?

Last feed

Anyone else's babies not settling after last night feed, my little one usually wakes around 4am and I can't get him to settle back. I do it all with dim lights and white noise; I don't interact. Any advise?
