Wrestling to feed

Hi, my 4 month old is sleeping through the night (hallelujah!) but in thr day she is almost constantly starving! Sometimes she also goes rigid when trying to get her to feed even if she's requested it. Is anyone else struggling with this?

DocATot sleeping pods…

Ladies, I am thinking of getting one of these for daytime supervised naps. I am aware that I cannot use them for overnight sleep, and babies cannot spend the night. Any thoughts of daytime naps?

How are we supposed to know how much to feed?

My little one is 8 days old and is breastfed however once or maybe twice a day I express and my partner feeds her with a bottle. She’s taking 3.5oz however then starts looking for more either instantly or 45 mins later. 3.5oz seems a lot for an 8 day old, let alone her wanting more. How are we supposed to know?

Pushchair

I was just wondering if it is safe to put my 9 week olds travel system bassinet up to sitting with a newborn insert. He holds his head pretty good and the newborn insert will help him be supported and he just loves to look around and now refuses to go in his buggy when lying down. He is also quite big baby.

What size nappies are your 9 month olds wearing?

My daughter is currently in size 6 nappies and I was looking at what comes next after the size 7s but everything on Google is telling me that shes in way too big of a size. I want to know what size everyone else's little ones are in for a bit of reassurance.

Washable markers or mess free drawing? 😭

Other than a water doodle, what can I give my LO that is washable but allows him to paint and draw? My entire house is neutrals and my husband has an actual diagnosed OCD about tidiness, so it’s quite hard to just let him loose with paper and crayons (my son, not my husband that is!)
