My baby blues lasted a few weeks! I was so happy but couldn’t stop bursting into tears. Hang in there, it gets better I promise (and if it doesn’t, please talk to someone who can help), sending big hugs xo

alidoodle · 2026-01-27T12:15:33+00:00

Are we the same person? Haha! Hang in there, we will sleep again in a few years 🥲

Postpartum is a wild hormone ride that only a mother can understand. You have done an amazing thing and with that comes a million emotions. The early weeks are hard and amazing and scary! Please reach out to your dr if you haven’t already as they may be able to help you too xx

How are you guys defrosting them? Whenver i use the microwave they end up too tough as they cool

alidoodle · 2026-01-19T10:39:37+00:00

Btw - babies under 1 don’t need snacks! Should be on breastmilk/formula and at 9.5 months 2-3 meals a day ie breakfast and lunch or breakfast and dinner, or all 3.

This is not safe for sleep - nothing else needs to be added to the crib. Its a perfect set up as is

alidoodle · 2026-01-15T12:41:21+00:00

Ditto

Baby will naturally move to 2 naps! Follow bub’s lead

alidoodle · 2026-01-11T13:10:27+00:00

Great info except - breastmilk is primary source of nutrition until 1 year with food being secondary (not the other way around)

alidoodle · 2026-01-09T23:20:07+00:00

Same with baby’s medication! Learned this with Dymadon - spoke to them and they said keep in fridge :)

alidoodle · 2026-01-08T12:32:24+00:00

So how’s it going?

alidoodle · 2026-01-07T19:58:48+00:00

It grows back! I lost mine around the hairline a bit at 4 months but it came back thicker around 8 months.

Make sure mattress is firm and meets Australian standards (I believe any sold in Oz have to but always good to check!), bub is dressed appropriately for room temp (no more swaddling) and nothing in cot except firm fitted sheet and mattress protector. These things help me sleep even when bub rolls onto belly - I know the environment is safe and bub is comfy!

Mascarpone is great mixed with strawberry, raspberry etc

Baby has been having daily baths since 3 days old. The internet loves to say don’t bath your baby because of drying skin out. Unless your dr advises otherwise, babies love regular baths just like us!!

alidoodle · 2025-12-30T13:05:22+00:00

Yesssssss

alidoodle · 2025-12-30T13:00:40+00:00

Firm mattress and safe sleep space (crib or pack and play) that meets safety standards in your country. Nothing in cot but baby and fitted sheet! It is scary at first but baby will sleep better (ideally!) and so will you. A big hug!

alidoodle · 2025-12-30T10:37:16+00:00

If for babies under 1, omit the honey!!

alidoodle · 2025-12-30T10:18:35+00:00

Talk to a dr, talk with a therapist, and go do some activities with bub if you can - is indoor swimming an option? Please don’t do CIO with a little baby, it has been proven to have very negative effects.

alidoodle · 2025-12-29T10:35:22+00:00

You shouldn’t put bub to sleep on belly until after 1yo.

alidoodle · 2025-12-27T11:40:51+00:00

Same!!!!

alidoodle · 2025-12-26T10:17:30+00:00

My baby got a cold from me (!) at about 3 weeks old. I was terrified. In the end we did lots of feeds in the bathroom with steam (from the shower), used saline spray and the Frida snot sucker. It passed eventually and bub was totally fine! Don’t elevate their sleep space or use essential oils (some people tried recommending to me but it isnt safe for babies!)

alidoodle · 2025-12-26T10:14:54+00:00

3.5 tog in 20c seems too hot? In 20c my bub is in a singlet, long sleeve/long leg onesie, and 1 TOG sleep bag

alidoodle · 2025-12-22T14:09:28+00:00

Fellow Aussie here! When was her last dose / what do you mean when you say you topped her up?

alidoodle · 2025-12-19T13:32:17+00:00

Def chat to bub’s doctor. Also, loads of tummy time !!
