Car seat

What car seat do you have? I think we probably need a bigger one now, but can’t find one that compatible with and without the base, and also rear facing. Help please 🙏🏼

I would let go of the idea of a base, because they're not really needed for the next stage seats. There are some seats that fit into the same bases that infant carriers use, but they're not very long lasting at all so you'll need to get another one later on.

Do you want isofix or seat belt installation?

Thanks both this is helpful, in my car we use the base but when she goes in my mums car it’s the seat belt

How many feeds?

How many feeds is baby having overnight?

Baby is nearly 7 weeks old. He tends to fall asleep downstairs on one of us around 8pm, then when we go up to bed around 10-11pm we give a bottle of formula.

He then sleeps until around 2-3am when he wakes for a nappy change and a breastfeed. He will then go back down until around 5am when we do another change and breastfeed. At this point he gets quite fussy in the next to me so I tend to bring him into bed with me to get more sleep until 7-8am

What are your nights looking like?

Freezing hands at night!

Hello everyone,

What are we doing with our little one’s hands at night? Her nursery was at 18.5 degrees last night and she has a vest, a sleepsuit and her 2.5 tog sleeping bag but when she woke up this morning her little hands were freezing cold even tho her chest was warm!

I always feel extremely bad when I pick her up to cuddle in the morning and those little hands are freezing. I know some people are using the built in mittens of the sleepsuit but it doesn’t work for her because she self soothes during the night by sucking her hands so having them covered wouldn’t work for her!

Anyone else in this situation?

Diapers

I have a 20m old and a 2 month old. Both boys. My 20m old is in size 5 daytime and overnight diapers. My 2m is in size 1. What are we all doing to help with peeing through? Both children pee through their diapers at night (my 2m gets changed during his 3am feeding). I make sure both are always pointed down. do I need to go up a size? I’m at a loss.

Struggling to read cues

I'm a 1st time Mum and my boy is just over 4 weeks. I feel like I'm still struggling to read his cues. It feels like the time between me realising hes hungry and him having a full meltdown is 2 seconds. I feel awful every time he cries. Am I being too harsh on myself? Do babies just cry and its fine and I need to just relax. At what point did you feel like you knew what your baby wanted?

Trouble breastfeeding

I’ve been exclusively breastfeeding my little girl who’s now 4 and a half months old. During that time I’ve had mastitis twice. I’ve been prescribed antibiotics and strong painkillers. Every week there’s always a new lump in either one breast or both which causes me so much discomfort and pain. The area is sore, tender and very uncountable so breastfeeding can hurt. It also hurts to hold her close to my chest because of the lump. The other day I also had a blocked milk duct as there was a white dot on my nipple. I’ve seen the doctors and taken medicines but seems like there’s always a new lump appearing. The doctor mentioned to do hot and cold compresses as well which tbh doesn’t seem to help. I’m feeling quite down about it all and wonder if switching her to formula would be better for her and myself. Has anyone had anything like this happen to them? I would appreciate any advice or tips. Thank you!
