No more bottle

I'm trying really hard to get my daughter off bottles she's almost 3 and it's a bedtime comfort. I've tried switching it for her stuffed animals, shows, her choosing her color binkie, letting her cry it out while trying to comfort. None are working, I've been able to phase out mornings but not bedtime.

If you just throw them all away and redirect her at bedtime, she’ll be fine. Literally just say no and snuggle her and offer something else. It’ll be a hard 1-2 days, but if you keep giving in when she complains, this process will be prolonged for months.

A three year old also shouldn’t have a binkie though either. Those are for newborn infants so they can breathe while they sleep. They’re not designed for a three year old’s mouth and will massage her pallet into a shape that forces her teeth forward.

I agree with the pacifier it can really damage her teeth, as for the bottles, are they baby bottles or like a sippy cup? If its a sippy cup limit it to one cup of milk and if she asks for more fill it with water. That's what im doing with my son who is almost 3, he also tries to take a pacifier but I take it immediately. I only have some now because im about to have another baby.

Baby seats for trolleys, high chairs etc.

Has anyone got one of these from a brand they recommend? Not sure if Coco seat is a UK brand or what it's like as a company?

Thanks in advance!

Nappy leaks at night—what brands or tips work?

My 12 week old uses Aldi Mamia size 3 nappies during the day with no problems, but at night both Mamia and Pampers Premium Protection size 3 have leaked after a few hours. Has anyone got tips for nighttime leaks or recommendations for other brands or strategies?

Sleeping through

Hi all so my nearly 3 week old is wanting to sleep through the night she has had no issues with her weight and is gaining really well. Can I let her sleep through or do I keep waking her? TIA x

Sleep regression or upping daytime intake?

My baby is 15 weeks on Saturday. He used to sleep 9ish-6am with only 1 wake for a feed. He’s now ready for bed at 7/7:30 and sleeping until 7am but waking for 3 feeds! He had dropped to 6 5oz bottle but has now added in an extra one at 11pm. I’ve tried him with some 6oz bottles in the day but he struggled with them. What’s going on? Do I need to ride it out or try and up his daytime intake?

Toddler not listening

Ok my 2 yr old does not listen to me. I know everyone says that but what do you do when it starts lol. We were walking on the side walk and he just took off (he’s never done that before) I was running yelling after me and he was laughing. I got so scared because we live on a boulevard so it’s busy. But just lately he’s been saying no no no to me and runs away. Idk what to do especially in situations like this that are dangerous.
