I just got this carrier yesterday so it's very new to me. When I first put him in, he was nice and high up with the panel below his ear (folded down... should I do that?) As he fell asleep, he slumped in much too deep as you can see here. How do I tie it so he's supported as he sleeps? I'm clearly doing something wrong.
Thanks!
I use Le Petite Ourse pocket diapers. The new ones with the wicking fabric. I have a relatively new LG HE front loader. I haven't tested our water hardness but the city says it's somewhere between 132-241 mg/L. Here's my wash routine.
1st wash:
Normal wash. Warm water. Medium spin. High soil. 1/2 C borax. Tide Powder line 1. This load is just diapers.
2nd wash:
Heavy duty. Hot water. Medium spin. High soil. 1/2 C borax. Tide powder line 3. This load I bulk with a bunch of old pocket inserts so the machine is over half full.
I use medium spin or else my washing machine jumps around. It seems level, but it still moves a ton on high spin.
After this. There is still chunks of poop in the elastics and the top fabric does not look clean. Would washing machine agitator balls help? I'm very new to cloth and I'm determined to find something that works!
This is my first time trying to carry my 7 week old in a woven wrap. He finds it very cozy but I can't figure out how to stop his face from falling into the wrap like in the third photo. I can't seem to get the neck support right. I'd love some help. Thanks!
Hi everyone!
I'm a first time mom with a 5 week old that so far I have exclusively breastfed. We tried a bottle for the first time yesterday with some milk I collected with my Hakka. He could not get any milk out of the bottle.
I have a very fast flow rate. Milk just drips out of my breasts and he has to stop to take multiple burp breaks. He usually finishes a feed in 8 mins.
We have the Philips Avent natural nipples. We tried him on the fastest bottle nipple we had (a number 4). He latched and tried to suck but got nothing out. Is it just something he needs to learn, or are there faster flow nipples that work with the Avent system so he doesn't get so frustrated?
I'd love some support. Thanks!
