Potty training regression due to new baby

My sons been potty trained before his 2nd birthday. Now 4 months later we have baby brother coming anytime. Hes been peeing in his undies all week! I put pullups on but hes peeing like 25% of the time in his pullups and pooping as well. I dont know if its a regression? How long did it take for it to pass for your toddler?

I haven't gone through this myself, however this is super normal behavior with big life changes. Just be patient and once he gets used to the new baby and back into the swing of things it'll get better

Ditch the pull-ups if he feels wetness on him coming down he will hate it and maybe get bk on the toilet my daughter had a regression too and I explained she couldn’t do that and gave her likes piece of candy if she went potty. Toddlers are smart!

It could be over confidence too. After almost a year of being potty trained, my first daughter started having accidents. She didn't want to stop playing to go.

I dont have the energy to do undies for now since baby is due this week, but i think ill ditch the pullups and retrain i guess in 2-3 weeks. Thanks ladies!!

Breastfeeding advice

I’ve just seen this and thought YES to everything so thought I’d share! As a second time mum I had all of these and almost gave up because of the first one!!

Bath time

When did people start using products in the bath? I’ve just started using baby body wash tonight & hoping he doesn’t come up in a rash.. is it too early as he is 4 weeks old

Autism

I have been noticing everyone I know that as a boy 2-5 years has been diagnosed with autism. Has anyone else noticed this or maybe I’m just noticing this out of concern for my 10 month old boy.

Swing or bassinet

We've been co-sleeping/bed-sharing with our one month old (5 weeks tomorrow) since she and I came home from the hospital. While I love the cuddles I do want our bed back too. I will add too, that we try to make it as safe as possible and want her in a safe situation. She doesn't like sleeping by herself, however we've been putting her in her swing (pic below) close to daily, since she came home and at first she only liked it for a few minutes, now it could be an hour, before she protests, asleep or awake! She likes the music and rocking motion it seems and seems fascinated by the mobile when she's awake and not sleepy. We can probably get her used to the bassinet in a similar way, but I'm wondering if we should just get two of these? My husband says the music would drive him crazy, lol, but we could just do it with white noise and see if it has the same effect. He's saying it's probably good for her to learn how to sleep in different conditions. I do agree, as our older daughter can't take naps at friends' houses and stuff. Just not sure of the best route here. Anyway tia!

Won’t sleep in his next to me crib

My 9 week old (10 weeks on Saturday) will not sleep through the night if he’s in his crib.

Last night we managed to get in 6 hours but he slept with me (I hardly slept as he was laying on my arm). I’ve also notice he scream in his sleep sometimes.

I’ve had him laying on my T-shirt in his next to me crib and it will only work for an hour or two. I went for a 2/3 hour walk in the park the other day and he slept through it all and as soon as I got home he was awake and screaming at me.

He seems to like the buggy and car seat when we’re out and when we’re home only my bed, the sofa or my arms will do the trick 😭😭😭.

The only time he will sleep through the night and not wake up is when he’s in my bed everywhere else is like a 30/40 min max sleep.

8 week jabs

My baby had her jabs yesterday and I know it’s normal for them to be unsettled for a bit but she’s been spitting up a lot more than usual and also not feeding for as long and refusing one of my breasts, it’s really difficult to get her to sleep but when she does she’s sleeping for age, is that all normal? My first baby was never effected by them
