Bath times-how many times a week

So I need to ask how many times do I need to bathe my baby, I usually do it three times a week, I did her last night and will have a bath on Tuesday night, it's mainly a shower with mum as I can't access the bath at the moment but I am 100% safe with her in there but I found if I did it with her she sleeps better, she's five months old.
I usually strip her off, get into the shower and use an old mam bottle to pour water over her, wash her hair and body, gently and carefully, I use a muzzy to help hold her, then I dry her and put on lotion that for nights, like Nalas oil, which is amazing and smells divine. But should I be doing it more or not

Emma Diary

I picked up my Emma Diary bag and inside was some coupons, however the fairy detergent doesn’t specify where I can redeem it, has anyone been able to redeem theirs. X

My 1 year old freaking me out

On days when it's just us at home and I'm bathing him, I leave the bathroom door open and this lil boy looks right over my shoulder as if he's glancing at someone but no one but us be at home!!!! He's been doing it for months and I've convinced myself he's just looking around but he's look looks like someone/something catches his eye and I just pray in my head to be casting out any spirit that shouldn't be in this house. Pray for us - sincerely 🙏

3 under 4

Anyone had 3 kids under the age of 4? How do/did you manage??
I have a 3yr old, 18 month old and almost 4 week old. Partner went back to work this week and I feel like ive just struggled the whole time. 3yr old is mega defiant at the moment and just screams at me if I tell her off for something. 18 month old is very hit and miss with his naps at the moment. Like he's been up since 5.30am, tried putting him down for a nap earlier and he just screamed and screamed and screamed so aborted the nap, tried a 2nd time and he napped all of 10mins before awake and screaming again. 4 week old generally been fine but extra fussy the last couple of days and its hard to get her to sleep today 🤦‍♀️ i feel like a really shit mum at the moment. I can't get out with them as car is being fixed at the garage currently and the new pram ive ordered still hasnt arrived as its been on backorder. Ive also ordered a baby carrier to hopefully help. If anyone has any words of encouragement or any tips id be very grateful. I have cried so much this week to my partner because I feel like im failing 🙃

Should I be worried or is this normal?

My little boy is almost 14 months & everything still goes in his mouth. I appreciate that’s how they explore etc but I’m talking cardboard, fluff, crumbs off the floor. I Hoover and tidy so much but anything I miss then straight in his mouth!
I’ve taken him to the park and he just sit on the floor and puts the leaves and twigs in his mouth?
Please tell me this is a phase that they grow out of?

Milestones

Where is your little one with their milestones/ development?

My son is 6 months in 11 days and still hasn’t rolled over from back to tummy, he’s done tummy to back at most a couple of times but no matter what I do to help and encourage him to roll there is nothing he doesn’t seem bothered.

Don’t want to be one for comparing kids but when my daughter was at his age she was crawling, fully aware all kids develop differently and do things in their own time but being nearly 6 months and not bothered about rolling is this something to be concerned about??
