Nappy changes

Feel like I’m going out of my mind?! So when my partner finally decides to do a nappy change, he’ll change her without wiping her if it’s just a wee? Is this okay? Is that normal? I use wipes with every nappy change, to me it’s just common sense to keep her clean?! Am I over reacting? 😤🫠

Lowering Cot

So our Cot was on a middle level and overnight ( a very rough one indeed) my LO learnt the great new skill of pulling himself up and standing! 👏 When standing the top of the cot would be around around armpit level so we’ve lowered the cot to the lowest setting now - but oh my god he looks so deep inside and I…

Now in the midst of the sleep regression and she's waking more but I don't know whether she's hungry, should I be feeding her more, do I have the supply 🤦🏻‍♀️ my other half seems to…

Transitioning to crib?

Has anyone transitioned their LO to a crib yet? Our baby is still in a bedside bassinet but he's starting to show signs of rolling over.

Is this reasonable?

Im trying to get my toddler to sleep in her cot. She screams her head off if I leave the room, but if I sit next to the cot she tries to grab me and play with me. So I'm trying a method where I sit just away from her cot, and only rub her back when she sits/lays down for sleep. Basically teaching her I will only com...

I want to put her in her big cr...

Need some sleeping advice.

My little boy is now 21 months. We moved him into a toddler floor bed at 18 months as he didn't get on with his cot at all. For the first 2 months of being in his cot floor bed he slept through the night or maybe even woke up once throughout the night in his own room. But now all of a sudden he has started waking up...

Tips for nappies leaking at night?

My LO wears size 4 during the day and size 5 at night (bigger size is more absorbent) but still keeps leaking at night. He sleeps on his side or front and it’s the side/front that leaks but the back isn’t fully saturated. Any tips? I’m trying a size 6 pull up tonight
