Breastfeeding
So I know I’m only 4 weeks PP but my boobs won’t stop leaking it’s quite annoying when out and about..
will this always happen? Will I always have to use breast pads? Also will I always have to sleep with a bra on 🙈 or does it get better and stop leaking so much? What if I was to do combo feed mixing would that help?

If you combo feed, you risk getting engorged breasts that will hurt more unless you pump routinely. (Mind you, it's different for everyone x)
I stopped breastfeeding all together, and within a few days it just completely stopped. You do have you try and leave them alone in that time, and it can be painful, but for me pain cleared up pretty quickly!
Obviously ask your midwife, or see about asking health visiting team or any feeding experts if possible x
If you’re keen to continue breastfeeding but not a fan of the pads, I recommend Lesh bras they’re a little on the pricier side but they absorb leaks so no wetness or need for pads ☺️ I hated being damp all the time too and having a fast let down pit and about was a nightmare!
I exclusively breastfeed and still do to this day and my boobs finally stopped leaking at 14 months. I had to wear breast pads constantly - day and night but finally dont have to. I found the best breast pads the Lansinoh ones xx
Really depends on the person I fed my first until 25 months and leaked until the day I stopped. My friend never leaked once! X

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.
