Bath

Has anyone skipped giving their little one a bath because its gotten too late? Even if they got bit dirty after tea? My little one has a bath tonight usually but cos shes had tea late an her bedtime is soon it just seems right to leave it. I feel bad

Yeah just yesterday my son missed his bath he has a bath everynight but yesterday it got late and he was overly tired fell asleep so quickly

Yeah one night wont hurt don't feel bad 😊

It’s honestly fine but if you’re that worried you can always give them a bath in the morning and then pop fresh bedding on x

Its fine not to bath your child every day. That concept is fairly new and generally bad for their skin. If youre concerned about hygeine then a warm wet flannel on face hands and private parts to wipe clean before bed is fine if you havent bathed

I bathe my kids twice a week, and if we stretch that out because they’re tired or had a busy day or we’d rather play or read then that’s totally fine too.

Yeah we’ve done it a few times here and there. Sometimes he’ll just have a bath the next morning or we just wait until the following night x

Mums of bad sleepers!! Does it get better?

My little boy is a horrific sleeper, he’s almost 9 months old, EBF, and has been waking every hour since 3 months. He’s fine with his naps, but his night time sleep is so bad. We started cosleeping for survival around 3.5- 4 months, but he doesn’t even sleep much better that way than he does in his room anymore. We have tried absolutely everything and I’m currently trying to anchor his morning wake up time and really space out his naps etc but I just want someone to tell me if this has ever actually gotten better! I have so many people give suggestions, but I’m not really after advice, I just want someone who had a baby with similar sleeping habits to tell me that it eventually gets better!

Car seat head flop

I've got the redkite i-savana set with car seat, my little 3mo has been doing a lot of head flops as she falls asleep during a drive and I'm worried as she's not got proper neck strength yet that when we do a longer drive in November it will be an issue. Am I worrying too much or is it time to look to get a different car seat?
The straps were pulled as tight as we could and newborn insert is removed as she's over 60cm. Seat can't be adjusted to tilt back.

When did your little one move out of bassinet pram attachment?

When did your little ones move from the bassinet pram attachment into the next stage? We have a Joie Signature, the next stage is the ‘stroller’ seat but it can be reclined so the baby is still lying down.

Health visitor appt before birth

Has anyone else received an appointment for a health visitor to come to their home? With my first pregnancy nobody from the health visiting team came to my home until after my son had been born, but this time I’ve received an appointment for over a month before my due date.
