Routine?

Have people got their 4+ week olds in a sleep/eat/awake routine yet or just winging each day?

I’ll be doing baby led until 8 weeks. We have a slight routine in terms of we do nappy and then feed, but the rest is down to baby girl. If she’s awake - fab we do some interaction and tummy time etc unless it’s night time, then we try get her down. If she wants to sleep, then she sleeps! Only thing is as she’s starting to find it harder to settle, we make sure she’s only awake for 60 mins max before trying to put her down to sleep!
Should add we wake her every 2.5/3 hours to feed during the day then she does longer stretches at night.

Absolutely winging it

Kinda winging it, kinda guided by her. She’s 5 weeks now and for the past couple weeks we have increased the ML in her bottles and she’s started sleeping through. She stays up late until around 1am and is now sleeping through until 7/8am, she’s over 10 pounds now (born at 8,11) so been advised there’s no need to wake to feed. So essentially just been staying up late feeding at 12-1 and then whenever she wakes up and stirs in the morning and giving more milk either side of sleep x

When did you cut your baby’s hair for the first time?

My little boy is 14 months old, and has gorgeous curly hair, but it’s starting to get quite long in the back. He has a natural baby mullet going on 😂
I don’t want him to lose his baby curls, but I also don’t want him to have a scruffy rat tail 🙈

What do your babies wear to sleep during naps?

I use a sleeping bag in the evening but not sure what to use during the day ? I don’t want to use loose blankets any recommended way?

4 week old tomorrow

Second bubba my first was completely different. Tips to get newborn to sleep at night in next to me, I’ve tried everything she just wants to latch on all night(breastfeeding) I’ve tried white noise, rockit zed, sleep sack, swaddle ect. I don’t like co sleeping it makes me feel uncomfortable and also due to loss of 4 year old.

Bath

How are we bathing our babies now that they are ALOT larger and more wriggly than when they were first born? I currently use the bath in the picture, but my girl now sits independently and keeps wriggling and sitting up and nearly falling out of this now. What's everybody using now? Unsure what the best upgrade is and what is available? Shes still wobbly when sitting so would hate for her to not have anything in case she flops over and bangs her head in the bath. TIA
