Gas pain

Anyone else have a very gassy newborn? My LG is just over 3 weeks now. She’s fine in the early part of the night but as soon as 4/5am comes she’s full of gas. We get constant squirming and grunting. I’m doing bicycle legs and then pushing her legs up to her stomach and the farts coming out are unreal 🤣🤣 My LB…

Just wondering if any of you get “me time”with our toddlers being a little bit older now, if you do how often?

Any time away from baby and no I don’t mean showers. Me time as in time to go to the gym, time to go to brunch with friends, or sit down for 2 hours to watch a movie or read a book in peace WITHOUT your baby or just time to do whatever you want for a couple of hours.

What to put baby in?

What is everyone putting their baby in around the house? I have the Moses basket but feel bad leaving her in there when she’s awake. I have a bouncer (see pic) but she’s not impressed and I don’t rate it. Also can’t use a carrier/sling yet due to an open wound. Any ideas?

2+ year Health Visitor Review & child writing

Hi, could anyone kindly share what was done in the review in addition to going through the questionnaire. Mine can write all his alphabet and numbers. Should I mark this as a concern? Anyone else with a super advanced toddler who’s social and happy but wants to learn absolutely EVERYTHING they can?

Bath time.

My lb has just turned 6 months and we currently use the angel care bath seat but he’s too big now and keeps trying to pop himself out of it. He can’t sit unaided at the moment. What other options are there? He loves his baths!
