Diaper Changes

My twins are 5 days old and they SCREAM when I’m changing their diapers. I think it’s from the cold wet wipes. Is it worth getting a wipe warmer? I’ve heard some bad/mixed reviews. It just breaks my heart to hear them cry like that.

Omg this saved us so much panic and anxiety. 100% worth it xx

Maybe try swapping to cotton pads and warm water? Alot of midwives I have spoken to have mentioned this

Tbh my little one use to cry during nappy changes for a few weeks. You’ve got to think they’re still getting use to it all. They’re use to being all snuggled up in a womb to now having nappies and all on. Give them some time. I use to rush nappy changes because I hated hearing her cry but she soon got use to it and now it’s just normal

Even my 2.5 year.old hates cold wet wipes during changes. Its winter so the air in the house is a little chilly! Haven't tried warmers but its worth a shot. My newborn hates the whole process

We got a warmer and it made a huge difference! Especially for nighttime diaper changes! During the day when our little guy is awake he didn’t care as much but at night… he would be so mad!

My sister had the genius idea to put a space heater by the changing table. Game-changer! It helps both to keep my LO warm and happy, and also to dry her off more quickly before the new diaper goes on.

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

My little one is struggling with sleep

Hey! I'm in need of some advice please girls! My little boy is 20 months turns 21 months in 2 half weeks. He use to sleep through the night now he is waking up every single night in the early morning, I've had to transition him to a toodler bed as he kept climbing out his cot. Just need some advice on what I can do to help him get back in to a sleep pattern?

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

6 month old autistism

My 6 month old makes no eye contact with me and doesn’t respond when I call him. Can this just be a phase or personality trait as apposed to autism

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

Baby with chronic congestion

Hi everyone! My 1 year has been a congested baby since birth almost. She breathes through her mouth so often that it wakes her up multiple times at night and she cries and screams and then struggles to go back to sleep. She wakes up every 1-3 hours and sometimes can’t go back to sleep for 2-3 hours!!! Piriton is the only thing that seems to help her sleep mostly through the night but I can’t keep giving her that!!
Does anyone have tips as to have I can do or give her? Has anyone experienced? I have no idea when I’ll get an ENT appointment and I have no idea what he can give a 13 mo :( we are desperate for sleep so any tips are welcome!! We have tried steam inhalation, saline drops, vapour rubs and everything off the counter basically!
