Once a week but I waited initially for her cord to fall off x

Once a week with water only, will be increasing to 2-3 times with baby soap and shampoo once he’s 6 weeks old, other days if we want to bath him will be with water only. We also waited for the cord to fall off first.

I bath my baby every day. Waited a week before he had his 1st bath

I bath my 6 week old Every other day

Twice a week, one of those with soap and shampoo, the other just a rinse

We waited for 2 weeks until his cord fell off, then once a week as it was infected. Now he's almost 5 weeks we bathe every other day. Once a week with a lavender baby milk, other times just plain water - about 5-10 mins. He absolutely loves the bath, so it's a nice time for him.

6 weeks old and once a week, I had been using a little baby shampoo but his little head is quite red and spotty so just plain water again for another week or two to see if that helps

Twice a week now he’s almost 8 weeks. We didn’t give him his first bath until he was a month old though. He loves the bath though so I think we will soon we doing it every other night x

I bathe my girl every 2 days with soap and every day I'll wipe down her neck, behind her ears, underarms and groin area. I know newborns aren't dirty but it's more to get her used to the routine as I also have a 5 year old that I bathe daily. So it makes it easier

2-3 times a week
I had a nappy raffle at my baby shower and have loads of nappy’s but the ones on the left are what I’ve found best and I am running low on them. They are elastic around the front and back unlike the ones on the left I’ve opened 3 more packs of pampers and they are all like the ones on the right. Have they changed or are they a specific style/name

Hey ladies. Planning to bottle feed my bubba. Do hospitals have sterilising equipment or should I pack multiple bottles already sterilised? Thank you 🩵

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!

Anyone else anticipating the clocks changing for babies sleep? My LO is 4 months and she usually goes down anytime between 9-10pm so i am hoping it changes to 8-9pm now so i get abit of an evening back. Although she will probably wake slightly earlier. Anyone been through this allready?

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.
