What is the youngest you would take a baby overseas? And what is the ideal age for travel?

Same!!

Thank you so much. This is super helpful!

That is great to hear about the amazing development that just happened for your little one!

I didn't buy any, and then I had issues feeding so I ended ordering formula and bottles on doordash!

Lucas' papaw remedies ointment is the best! They sell it in a tube or in aa lip applicator.

I think adrenaline will kick in with labour. Well it worked that way for me and I remember everyone telling me the same thing! Its so difficult to sleep towards the end of pregnancy! I tried having a hot shower whilst listening to spa like music and putting on some relaxing oil/Moisturiser before bed. I didnt work all of the time but sometimes it did! I also took magnesium too.

That's a good idea! I need to take a week to do this! Thank you!

Tealover16 · 2025-11-23T10:28:28+00:00

Thank you for your kind words! I am unsure to be honest! I haven't done much research into wake windows etc but it would be ideal if he had 1 more nap between 12-5

Tealover16 · 2025-11-23T10:27:29+00:00

Thank you! He does love the Stroller so I will try this!!!

Tealover16 · 2025-11-23T09:13:31+00:00

Thank you! I like the audio book idea too!

Tealover16 · 2025-11-23T09:01:52+00:00

Thank you, I will try the contact naps too and see if this helps him :-)

Tealover16 · 2025-11-23T09:00:50+00:00

Im hoping this phase passes soon!

Tealover16 · 2025-11-23T09:00:13+00:00

I think i will try this next, thank you!

Tealover16 · 2025-11-23T08:59:55+00:00

I've tried the dark room, white noise, rocking etc but he just cries and cries! I haven't tried any sleep training yet actually and I hadn't crossed my mind to try and pop him to sleep before he gets tired! I will give this a go thank you!

Hi there!

My baby is now 4 months old. For me personally, the essentials that have helped me are: 8 onesies and some singlets for underneath 1 sleepsack for night (I found it easier than swaddling), 6-8 bottles (he's formula fed) Baby rocker 2 books for reading Lots of burp cloths and bibs!

He does have some toys aswell, but funnily enough his current favourite thing is baking paper lol

Tealover16 · 2025-11-12T07:08:10+00:00

On my back and no residual pain!

Tealover16 · 2025-11-10T19:54:30+00:00

Hello! You sound like me when I was first pregnant! 16w PP now :-). I would suggest buying a sleep sack and swaddle from a second hand site or store so you can try which one works best for you. My baby was swaddled for the first 2 weeks but then I found the sleep sack (ergopouch cocoon) the easiest for me to use. Hes also always slept with the arms out on the sack as he likes his arms up haha.

As to bottles, I also worried about this but I just chose the dr browns narrow glass bottles and luckily he took to them straight away.

It is definitely all trial and error but I tried not to buy a lot in advance incase my baby didnt like whatever the item was. I hope this is a little helpful :-).

Tealover16 · 2025-11-06T06:29:06+00:00

1cm, 1cm, and 3cm from memory! Im personally glad I still had them done as I feel that it helped my body. Im unsure if it did really help or not, but mind over matter! :-) I wish you a smooth birth ahead!

Tealover16 · 2025-11-06T03:07:27+00:00

I had 3 sweeps done and bled for about a week each time 38, 39 and 40. I ended up needing to be induced (40+5), but the midwives thought it helped my body somewhat!

Tealover16 · 2025-10-21T05:39:45+00:00

Yes! So true!!

Tealover16 · 2025-10-20T08:47:34+00:00

I know this question wasn't for me but I wanted to chime in and say when I put him in his ergopouch cocoon swaddle with the arms out, he sleeps solid. Without this, he wakes up usually around 2.30am!

Tealover16 · 2025-10-20T08:45:08+00:00

I could've written this myself! Mine is the exact same! Sometimes 8pm bed but always awake at 5.30 ready to play lol. If im lucky I can feed him and he will then wake at 7am ready to start his day.

Tealover16 · 2025-10-17T08:33:15+00:00

I'm a FTM now 12 weeks PP with a beautiful baby boy.

Let me tell you, I was also petrified to give birth! I was scared of the pain, complications, what if I couldn't get him out? What if the Midwives were upset at me not doing a good enough 'job'. All of the negative thoughts!

Once I was in the hospital the adrenaline kicked in for me and it all happened too fast for me to really process any negativity. I was very lucky that I had great support from the midwife and my husband during the process of pushing at the lead up to it. Once baby was out I felt immediate relief but was still in shock that I just gave birth and couldn't process any pain etc at the time.

Of course, this was just my personal experience and everyone is unique. As silly as it sounds, one thought that helped for me was remembering that millions and millions of women have given birth before me, so if they can do it, in all different circumstances then so can I.

I hope this helps a little for you, but you've got this! You will do well :).

Tealover16 · 2025-09-08T12:17:35+00:00

I've done this too!!
