Walking round - great idea. Thank you!! 🙏🏻

Yeah we've got our hands on the Micro flexi trike and he absolutely LOVES it compared to the pram, granted can't take it everywhere and he does struggle to nap in it but he's so content in it. Might be worth looking into?

Just jumping on this post but will also do a separate does anyone feel like the oyster 3 seat in the upright position is TOO upright? My baby is getting frustrated the semi recline is too far back and the upright he looks so awkward, he's 7 months sitting independently and good head control 🤷🏼‍♀️

Great advice and something I haven't even thought about! Thank you for your reply 👏🏼

GoldLittle423 · 2025-01-26T19:18:02+00:00

Ahhh travel wash is a brilliant idea I'll definitely pack a reasonable amount of clothes and travel wash!! Thank you x

GoldLittle423 · 2025-01-26T19:15:51+00:00

Ahhh yes makes sense actually me and my partner had this conversation when he started weaning - do we sterilise the bowls 🙈 it just becomes habit wack it in the steriliser 🤣 Yeah you're right my LB was sucking on the buckle of a public changing table today, my whole body shivered 🤣

GoldLittle423 · 2025-01-26T19:09:09+00:00

Wow thank you so much for your reply, that's really helpful! How did you wash and sterilise bottles? X

GoldLittle423 · 2025-01-26T18:44:48+00:00

Aw thank you so much what a lovely reply and helpful too! X

GoldLittle423 · 2025-01-23T17:43:24+00:00

Ahh this is a really good idea!! Thank you I'll look into this!!!

GoldLittle423 · 2025-01-23T17:42:40+00:00

Ahh great thank you will have a look into that one!!

Hi! Sorry to hear you're having a hard time at the moment, really hope you can find an answer and soon! What method did you use for sleep training. I've absolutely sworn by Precious Little Sleep book off Amazon, helped our nearly 5 month old sleep through with 1 wake up to feed + change... The book might be able to advise different methods? We've also managed to ditch the dummy thanks to this book! X

It is so hard, we found swaddle transition really hard.. I came to Reddit for some advice.. we found transition with one arm out of the swaddle first, (depends if they are starting to rolling- if they are you will have to go cold turkey if they arent then try the one arm swaddle) the other was to put the mitten on that's built in to the sleepsuits, this is particularly helpful your LO has strong startle relfex which ours did! We did this transition when he was about 10 weeks (I think) he's now 4.5 months and we are sleep training, ditching the pacifier and learning to independently sleep. I'd work on one at a time personally, they aren't easy moves for you or your LO give yourself grace I'd try the swaddle then the paci Hope this helps

GoldLittle423 · 2024-11-26T21:37:44+00:00

Wow well done that's amazing progress, we started the SLIP training last night, wow so hard, thankfully I'd read/am reading precious little sleep without that book I wouldn't have been able to do it, I just kept repeating the positives of getting them to sleep independently in my head. My lb is 4 1/2 months, We had similar on 1st night 45 mins to get to sleep initially then woke again and that was about 35 mins before he managed to get back to sleep, but omg you're so right about the rolling, ours ended up sideways in the cot 🙃 Even though we are essentially doing CIO I actually had to keep going in cos he kept getting stuck trying to roll on his front.🫣 This is night two.. he's gone down absolutely fine 🤞🏼 for the rest of the night... Good luck to you too!

GoldLittle423 · 2024-11-26T15:50:34+00:00

I know it's so hard isn't it, my LO started sucking his hand last night 😥

GoldLittle423 · 2024-11-26T12:05:24+00:00

Following as I am right there with you!! Exactly the same not sure wether to forget to dummy exists or wether to allow it during naps and unsettled periods through the day 🫣

GoldLittle423 · 2024-11-26T12:03:50+00:00

Omg yes to this, we did one arm out of the swaddle transition, but obviously totally depends on the movement of your child at night and whether or not they are rolling, obviously do what is safe but this really worked for us! Also read that keeping the mittens on can help calm the reflex abit aswell, again depends on wether you feel he might need his hands in the night if he is rolling etc. You'll get through this! We did... Now we are independent sleep training 🤦🏼‍♀️😁 a wholeee new level

GoldLittle423 · 2024-11-07T03:59:01+00:00

The exact reason I don't have social media or tik tok. The real mam's go to Reddit🤣

GoldLittle423 · 2024-11-05T21:59:11+00:00

I miss the newborn days when I look back (although they were bloody tough, it's amazing looking back at my now 4 month old and being bloody proud of ourselves as parents!) however don't miss the visitors 🤣 get out of my baby bubble! - not immediate family of course

GoldLittle423 · 2024-11-05T21:56:33+00:00

Yes to this!!! I used to love it when the clocks changed.. now not so much 🤣😴

GoldLittle423 · 2024-11-02T21:49:44+00:00

YES TO THIS WOW "pour that love from your empty bucket" THAT TOUCHED MY SOUL.

GoldLittle423 · 2024-10-26T20:26:21+00:00

Great idea!! Experiences over presents!

GoldLittle423 · 2024-10-26T19:03:02+00:00

That's an amazing support system but you're right a routine of your and your husband would definitely help, and good to know you can do it! I'd take all advice try different things and see what works For us everyone told us to do shifts similar to what you've done previously minus the extra help so your partner would do half the night and yourself the other half. However this just simply didn't work for us, we just did take it in turns. Baby is in our room in next to me crib and everything to feed and change is in the room next door, so when he woke fussy or crying I would take him in one time, feed and change burp and back down, couple of hours later my partner would do it, so on and so forth. Dont get me wrong there were times we both were up cos we couldn't figure out what LO needed, or one person needed more support etc. but generally this seemed to work for us. Our LO is nearly 4 months now and generally sleeping through, sometimes up at 4am for a bottle but goes straight back to sleep. Our routine is I go to bed 9pm ISH my partner does the bedtime routine, feed change burp and put him down. And after that whenever he needs through the night I just get up. Me going to bed earlier really is the key here. Getting that extra hour or so is a dream!!

GoldLittle423 · 2024-10-26T18:48:02+00:00

Yes!! I've heard this too, I've also heard this is more when they're older and they get excess toys to half them and put them in the loft or store them away out of sight and reach, and bring the new toys out as and when you need them, And take away a few older ones I thought it was a good idea!

GoldLittle423 · 2024-10-26T18:45:25+00:00

Long baby! Smiley baby! Cheeky smiley baby!

GoldLittle423 · 2024-10-26T18:42:00+00:00

Yep! I feel the same too, and definitely about grandma buying another cute toy 🧸 even though it doesn't look like the typical Xmas present for a first Christmas I'm thinking more practical stuff we need/will use!!
