Having a bath?

Can I have a bath? I’m keeping the water warm enough that it’s enjoyable but not scorching hot. It’s one of the few things I really enjoy😂🛁

I’ve been having lots of baths but I have a bath thermometer to make sure it is the right temperature :)

I love having a warm bath and feel like it does good for the muscle ache etc and just zens you out

Yea deffo you're allowed them. It's just not safe if it was to raise your body temp too much for too long. So sounds like you're doing it right 😊

baths were the only thing that helped my pregnancy pains and my baby always kicked and wiggled about when I had a bath :) just make sure it isn’t too hot

I had hot baths throughout my entire pregnancy. The only reason they say not to is in case it raises your body temperature too much and you pass out

help :(

hi 🤍 ftm to my almost 2 month old. i choose to breastfeed and bottle feed but i don’t have a consistent schedule. i’ve been doing either or, based upon the time
of day, how much milk i have stored, or how fussy my baby is. i also co-sleep at times but other times he will sleep in his bassinet. but now im realizing the only way he is soothed is by being on my chest or immediately getting breastfed or by the bottle (eating.) i cant really sit him down anywhere anymore for more than 5-10 minutes before he starts crying again. he also doesn’t really rely on pacifiers or like being in his swing that long anymore (he used to love it without crying). i love that he’s attached to me, but i also want to know how to have him be soothed in other ways for when i choose to stop breastfeeding, put him in his crib in his room, travel and need family to watch him, need to run an errand, do anything around the house, etc. any tips or ideas ?

Cows Milk

For those who have switched from formula to cows milk when your LO turns 1, what have you done about night feeds (if they still wake for a feed through the night)? Cold milk from the fridge? Warm it up in the microwave? Take a flask upstairs? We’ve always used a prep machine in his bedroom so it’s been quite quick to make bottles without him getting too upset when waiting

Prams / travel systems

Hi mamas 💕

I was hoping to do an appointment in person to see how prams worked.

However, I’ve had a difficult pregnancy where I went on for a follow up scan at 22 weeks which resulted in a 6 week stay in hospital. I’m now back at home but fully on strict bedrest (just going to hospital appts only). Gutted my pregnancy isn’t what I expected but happy I’ve reached 28 weeks now 🥰

Any recommendations of prams/travel systems? We are having this one thing gifted, so ideally I’d like to try buy in Black Friday Sales for a good deal.

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated! 🙏🏼
