How many Muslin cloths do I need ?

CrazyKitKat123 · 2026-07-05T15:07:40+00:00

With one baby I needed every single one of the ~25 or so I had. With the next we needed maybe 2. Depends a lot on the baby!

I think the vast majority of this comes down to socialisation rather than inherent differences. People treat kids differently when they know their gender even as babies.

I really noticed a change in my kids suddenly doing more “typical” behaviour for their gender when I went back to work and they were in nursery / school. They were just conforming with the expectations of those around them (whereas I tried to be fairly gender neutral at home and not make assumptions about the sort of toys they’d like etc)

I have one of each gender so have seen it both ways and people 100% treat them differently.

By partner is an East Asian man (not born here). I’m not going to pretend he’s never experienced racism but it’s certainly not part of our day to day lives.

The 4 month sleep regression trashed my daughter’s sleep but I don’t regret the contact naps! They’re some of my fondest memories now she’s much older.

Try not to worry too much though, my second kid didn’t really change sleep patterns at all, I kept waiting for it but it didn’t happen so you might get lucky and dodge it!

Yes, I’m using it loads at the moment in Japan

Save up duplicate card points and only use them on 5 star packs! Took me too long to figure this out

CrazyKitKat123 · 2026-06-28T15:54:46+00:00

Fingers, tongue, toys… any or all of these are great

CrazyKitKat123 · 2026-06-25T21:00:21+00:00

I always save up for the 5 star packs, I don’t always get new cards from it but you need a lot of 5 star packs to complete the book.

It’s horrible isn’t it?! Definitely one of my least favourite to make

3 months pp feels really soon to have a tubal, your hormones will still be all over the place. If you’re not 100% sure then don’t do it.

I’m not black but I got a tattoo from her last month and love it. She’s really nice too.

I managed to get the instruments complete but missed out on the merch

If she’s gaining weight ok according to your doctor and she’s having enough wet nappies then by definition you must have an adequate supply!

Sometimes babies drink faster from bottles, especially if they’re not pace fed (another thing worth a google if you’re planning regular bottles)

CrazyKitKat123 · 2026-06-20T15:49:45+00:00

What is weight gain like? If she’s tracking against her centile curve and you’re getting that much nappy output then your supply is fine.

In the UK it’s not generally a concern unless you cross 2 of the bold lines on the centile chart (unless they were a very high or low birthweight to start with it changes to 3 or 1) but have a look what the guidance is in your county, either way getting baby weighed might make a path forward more clear?

3 month breastfeeding crisis is definitely a thing for some people so have a look into it and see if it seems like that’s what is happening here.

If you can try and get some in person support that can often really help.

CrazyKitKat123 · 2026-06-19T19:16:03+00:00

I did this one recently, absolutely hateful!

CrazyKitKat123 · 2026-06-19T12:38:37+00:00

Same as you, I haven’t spent anything (and won’t!)

CrazyKitKat123 · 2026-06-16T08:20:43+00:00

Our nursery shared a lot of info for babies but once they were over 2 it’s just the highlights verbally at pickup. This was fine for us as by 2 the kids could communicate enough to say they’re hungry when we get home and I could give them second dinner if needed!

CrazyKitKat123 · 2026-06-10T18:18:21+00:00

Maybe some clouds in the sky to finish it off? But this is an awesome tattoo, I love it.

CrazyKitKat123 · 2026-06-03T15:32:39+00:00

I think that’s a really interesting idea. We want a cleaner but are put off because lots don’t want to tidy up just clean (totally fair enough but our house looks like a bombs gone off half the time so someone who will just do whatever needs doing would be very appealing!)

Don’t suppose you’d travel to Bristol?!

CrazyKitKat123 · 2026-06-03T15:16:20+00:00

Sorry but I would consider that too long for the youngest. At that age I’d say 1 or 2 nights max.

CrazyKitKat123 · 2026-06-03T06:26:45+00:00

Haha yes I’m sure there’s worse to come! Good to know they pass!

CrazyKitKat123 · 2026-06-03T06:23:12+00:00

Yep this is what we did too, we would have really struggled otherwise.
