With disposable diapers - When your LO has no diaper rash / do you still put something on the bum after diaper change ?
I don't put it on every time. Only if his bum is irritated. I also put it on before bed because he goes longer between changes.
I was wondering this last night. He went down at 10 and was up at 2:30 and had popped and it was the first time I really had to work to get it off.. I felt so bad. I have some Berts Bees diaper rash cream and I think I'll use that tonight.

My toddler seems to have picked up a head cold since Friday afternoon. Today my nose is a bit stuffy and I'm kinda freaking out for my almost 4 week old baby. Any experience or advice aside of the obvious cover when you cough/ wash hands sorta thing? How much freaking out is in order here?

Are you BFing? If so, that should cover you.
Yes! And I am hoping that we can just avoid all together. Breastfeeding has been amazing for both of my children. I just worry about an active sick person (my 2 year old) so close to my newborn. On a related note, my son got the stomach bug at 4 months and bf pulled us through that thankfully!
Uh-oh. I mix just pumped milk with refrigerated milk. Is it harmful to LO?
I've done this, and later saw you shouldn't. I asked my LC and she said they should ideally be the same temp but it should be fine and to not worry a out it.

I know I'm crazy but is there anyway we could start using the jumparoo now?
B loves to be held standing and has started "jumping" on us. His head control is also pretty good. If I put something in there to keep him more upright and something under so his feet don't dangle so far do you think I could use it or is that just really dangerous or crazy?

+1 waiting for trunk control. Also, neck control. At this point it may seem like they are 'standing' but their spines and hips are not mature enough to suppost their weight. I think the rule of thumb is wait until baby can sit on their own before using the jumparoo.

Thank you! This makes sense. Everything I looked up said most people wait until 4-5 months but really no explanation.
Do any of you leak even immediately after a feed? I've been topless because I'm trying to get the nipples to heal and I'm leaking everywhere. It makes me wonder if A isn't getting enough at each feed. She waffles between being super productive and super lazy when feeding.
Seven days old here. I opened a diaper and it was detached. My friend was like, "will you save it?" And I'm all, "Are you high??"
Nice! Haha I've had a few people ask me the same thing! Not sure exactly why I would or what I'd even do with it if I did keep it.
My BF has kept the stumps for both kids. I have no idea why and he won't let me toss them. I didn't know he kept DDs until I was cleaning one day and found it in a little Baggie. So gross - bc it was when she was almost one....

N is 12 days and still has his stump. It's so annoying for diaper changes. When did your LOs fall off?
My E is a late bloomer...his finally fell off today at one month old. Doc was keeping an eye on it and said it was fine/normal, just on the slow end. My dad said we should keep it and add it to some soup we make. He was just being gross to be funny.

My mom kept mine... Still has it. I think it's so gross.

layloo08 I accidentally pulled M's stump off when he was 11 or 12 days old. I felt like mom of the year! I couldn't throw that thing away fast enough, ick!

He is constantly grabbing and hitting his and I definitely knock it when changing him

+1 but the entire thing didn't come off so from day 14 on they're was still a little, possibly worse smelling, mini stump. At 22 days though it's all gone.

Ours came off at a pediatrician's appointment at 6 days. The nurse was like "oooh do you want to save it?" When I said "oh god, no" she looked super judgy and told me that most people want to save it. And then went and got a bag to put it in "just in case" I changed my mind.
Did any of your LO's stump bleed a teensy bit before it fell off? I opened up A's swaddle and saw some dried blood on the blanket and some around her stump. Not actively bleeding though.

DSs bled a bit after it came off. I did see dried blood before it fell off tho.

+1 Doc said seeing dried blood on the onesie from the stump/belly button or even some oozing was normal. He said the area still has drying up to do after the stump falls off.
What time are you guys putting LO down for their "sleep"? Delilah will give us 4-5 hours for her first sleep stretch. I usually push it off until after 9 for selfish reasons (so it's close to when I'm heading to bed). The last few days she seems like she could benefit from swaddling earlier (around 8). Wondering if I should move it up.
