Routine

Hi! I’m looking for a bit of advice, this is totally me future proofing as I like to be prepared😂 My little girl is 7 weeks old, at the minute we very much sleep when needed and where needed, we feed on demand, so on and so forth.

Nesting

Has anyone started nesting yet? I’m really hoping it kicks in soon because I could really do with something giving me a kick up the arse. The motivation is definitely harder with a toddler.

Formula prep suggestions

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to make formula prep easier/quicker? I looked at the Tommee Tippee Perfect Prep machine, but that only makes feeds of 4oz or larger, but we're doing 2oz top-ups.

Water

Looking for advice, my nine month old has pretty much dropped her daytime bottles with her now having three meals a day and snacks, the only downfall to this is she’s not really having much water. She won’t take it herself from a tommee tippee she just throws it, she only really drinks some if I take the lid off and...

Starting nursery

I have just been accepted for my little boy to go to nursery 2 mornings a week, starting in April. He turns 2 beginning of march. Now it’s all set in stone I’m starting to doubt myself that he may still be too young. I have no work commitments that means I need to send him but he’s an only child and is never around ...

Bottle teet

My boy has been refusing feeds cuz he’s ill. This is literally the only type of teet he will have a full bottle with, the hospital gave us a few but they’re disposable. Does anyone know anywhere that has bottles like this. Update: we have found something we think will work, thank you for the recommendations
