Nappy poo issues!!

Is anyone else having or has had issues with nappies and the poo leaking through the legs? The solids have not come out of the nappy per se but the leg seams are completely brown and it transfers to his trousers which means they need changing all the time! Is this a sign of a sizing issue? A brand issue? It’s happen...

Bathing with stitches

I know it’s recommended not to bath with stitches but has anyone else had a cool quick bath and it been ok? I have been using my peri bottle but I feel like I need a quick 10 min cool bath as I had D&V vomiting last night, so alongside the bleeding I just want to feel clean and the peri bottle isn’t cutting it 😂

Has weaning improved sleep and/or constipation?

My baby has just turned 6 months and is showing signs of readiness so am going to start weaning next week. However I’m just intrigued to know whether people have noticed any improvements in sleep? And also those with constipated babies, what has weaning done for their tummies?

Sleep

How much do your babies sleep at night? Mines 9 weeks and she wakes up roughly at 11pm, 2am, 5am, then usually from 6am she does what I call the 'snooze' where she wakes up what feels like every 3 seconds and I put her dummy in till around 8am 😅. I thought by this point they should sleep for longer periods? It's…

Lactulose

I was prescribed Lactulose for constipation and was up half the night with awful wind. It did the job this morning, I suppose, but my question is does the gas aspect settle down? Cause if it's like this each time I might just deal with the constipation.

Co-sleeping

Have coslept with my older child but not as early as this. Feels like baby only happy at night if in my bed - if not we all sleep really badly. He’s so tiny, I just don’t feel comfortable with it. Obviously I know safe sleep guidance. Is anyone else co sleeping?

Refusing Milk

My little girl (4 months old, fully formula feed) is starting to refuse milk, she’ll go 6/7 hours in the day without a feed. She was starting to go through the night until she started refusing milk in the day and now is waking up 1-2 times at night for a feed. I assume making up for the feed she misses in the day. W...

Reducing separation anxiety

My little boy was 2 in January. He’s going through a phase of high separation anxiety. I don’t want it to become a full time thing where he sleeps in our bed, so when he wakes, I’ve been snuggling him back to sleep in his toddler bed. He wakes every night around 12am for me. Has anyone got tips on slowly reducing ...

Mums of 2 or more

My HV said that I can’t leave my 11 week old to nap in her next to me crib as it increases the risk of Sid’s. But what are we doing in the morning when I have to get up with my nearly 2 year old? Because I don’t want to disturb her nighttime sleep as she won’t go down in the day but obviously I’m not suppose to lea...
