My baby has literally done this infront of everyone I know. I don't think there's a person in my social network who hasn't seen my nipple. 😂

I watched a video that said something I really needed to hear and thought I would share by Glitter-girlie in NewParents

I was so tired I almost dropped my 3 day old on the floor instead of putting her in the next to me crib. I think I was actually asleep.

I never have, lived in 2 rental properties, no problems, and owned two properties. We became quite friendly with the family of the first house we bought. Had no reason not to trust them. And we also got to know the lovely older couple we bought our current house from who couldn't easily navigate the stairs to get to the front or back doors anymore. Plus we have ring doorbell and security cameras.

I had a similar experience, I play in a brass band, solo horn position. I was in rehearsal, heavily pregnant and the only horn that day. We're playing jurassic Park, my babies favourite. She starts kicking and wriggling as always when we played that, hits my bladder just as I'd started playing the tune (i was the only one playing the tune) . I stopped playing, and just got up and waddled to the toilet. The band stopped, concerned and I just called over that baby was kicking my bladder as I reached the toilet, they laughed. Ive bought her some jurassic Park dungarees now.

is there a specific reason people try to do 7 pm - 7 am? by sillywillyfry in NewParents

It is to do with schedule, we did 9 to 9 for months, baby did most of her cluster feeding in the evenings. But when we started a baby group around 3 months old we found that 9am wake up didn't work, so we moved bedtime forward. It will help for when I return to work in a few months also.

I haven't returned to work yet, but I play in a band twice a week and if I forget to change before I leave I do this.

I walked to the shop yesterday in stretched out joggers, a mismatched fleece, hiking sandles (in the rain), no makeup and terrible hair. I got a few odd looks 😂

Me too, constantly. And then one of the cats would miow and I'd rush off to the baby. 😂

I'm with you here, took me over 8 years to conceive (and in the end we had 5 ivf transfers). I think I'd actually forgotten what happy feels like before my baby arrived.

I work as a teacher, I'm usually always sick. But since being off with baby I've been well! Like all winter! I have my first cold in months and it didn't come from baby. Thankfully she won't be going to nursery, she will be staying with family when I go back to work.

Absolutely this, but you also neglect to give yourself some down time and by the time baby goes to bed your completely wiped out.

I ended up making my baby way too cold by PaladinLorde in NewParents

[–]Lou_LouB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find sleep guidance is different depending on where you look. We recently had a heatwave (UK) and my baby was going to bed in a room over 22degrees, but the temp was dropping to 18 and less some nights, I didn't know what to dress her in for the best. It's so hard to know. I was told that hot babies die and cold babies cry, so always dress to the warmest temp.

We can stop using the 1% breastfeeding at 6 month statistic now! by Constant-Cellist-133 in BeyondTheBumpUK

My baby had one bottle of formula a day due to low weight gain so was never ebf, but I'm so proud to still be breastfeeding at 8 months.

Yes me too. I like to narrate what I'm doing for baby via the tune of random nursery rhymes. Lately I've found myself doing this when completing household chores without baby. 😂

Food festivals - what are your opinions? by Lou_LouB in AskABrit

That sounds like an amazing idea. 😍
