TV time

I had to shower and wash my hair this morning, I've put my 3 month old in his bouncer watching Ms Rachel 🫣 i can still peep and see him. Just googled it and it says not to let under 2 year old have any TV time! He rarely does, just when I need to get stuff done but now feel really bad Anyone else do this? X

Bath seat for crawlers

Has anyone got any recommendations for a bath seat for babies that crawl? I’ve tried to not have one at all but he just throws himself forward into the water as he’s so excited but a bit too wild, so I think a seat might be best?

Bath

How many times a week do you bath your baby? My LO is 5 months and we're still doing a bath every other day but I see people incorporate a bath every night as part of the night time routine. I just don't find it necessary to bath my baby every night. But eventually will incorporate it when he gets older

My baby turned 1 on 2nd December and we started mixing in cows milk into his formla bit by bit, he was absolutely fine with this, we then gave him pure cows milk but he was very gassy and pooped a lot and they were sloppy poops.

Has anyone else’s baby had a posterior tongue tie and did you get it cut?

My little boy was 5 weeks early and they blamed feeding issues/inability to latch and colic on him having a small mouth because he was young. A week ago my midwife said she thinks he has a tongue tie and the health visitor agrees. We had a tongue tie assessment today and they said he has a posterior tongue tie but s...

He seems fine but should I r...
