Diapers

Does anyone need diapers? My baby got a skin reaction with this brand so we have to stick to Huggies. 🥲😅 These were gifted to me at my babyshower. They are sizes 1,2 and 3. Message me! I’m located in Orange County, Irvine area. Or any ideas of what I can do with these?

Shampoo and conditioner

What shampoo and conditioner do you use on your toddlers hair? I’m still using Johnson’s baby shampoo, but I’ve started to notice her scalp is quite dry and flakey. Not sure if it’s due to the shampoo!

How do you organise naps during the day when on holiday?

LO’s 7 months and she’ll be 8 months by the time we go away next month. For those who have to rock their babies to sleep during nap time, how did you deal with naps on holiday?

What age would you transition from using baby wash to adult wash?

How to make bathtime more comfortable??

I have a 7week old, bathing him hurts so bad lol. I put a towel down for my knees on the floor which isn’t the issue, but straining to lean over the side to reach his little baby bath is really doing a number on my back. I’m not sure how to handle more than a few minutes at a time. Advice?

when and how did you drop your baba ya 3rd day nap?

My little girl just turned 7 months and I’m curious to know when your LO’s dropped their 3rd nap? How did you do it or was it naturally? How long did it make their other 2 naps? And did you drop the 1st, 2nd or 3rd nap? Also just any tips and advice would be great too!

Advice please

My 6 week old baby cries a lot, she’s very fussy, won’t let me put her down for more than 5 mins, the only time she’s quiet is when she’s feeding or asleep. Is something wrong ? Are all babies like this? I’m a FTM so don’t know what’s normal but I can feel myself getting upset because she always seems upset!?

How much milk is your 9 month old drinking?

Mine has gone down from 4 bottles a day, 40 oz a day (doctor approved) to 20-24oz 2-3 bottles a day. Today, I gave him one bottle in the morning and one in the evening. He also had two meal times. How is your little one doing?

Breastfeeding after 1

How often do you breastfeed one year old? I feel like we were doing it 6 to 8 times a day But recently, it's more like 4 times a day. Also if anyone has any tips for continued breastfeeding, after one I would love them!!! It's so different breastfeeding, the toddler versus a sweet little baby.
