Best diaper for runny poop overnight

Hey mummies, my 3month old LO is starting to sleep through the night and he poops a lot as soon as he wakes. Any recommendations for diapers which absorbs very quickly for runny poop and also can store a lot of pee at the same time? I tried drypers and even for fresh diaper, b4 it can absorb the poop already flow out from back. Goonz absorbs really fast but not enough to last with through the night pee + poop. Tried rascal and friends but consistently leak from the thigh area even when its fresh diaper. Currently I am using merries, and it's the best, but baby diaper seems to be like it's exploding after just 6 hours of use + poop. Baby is sleeping longer and longer, so I'm wondering if there are other options? Thanks!

R&f , hey tiger , nino nano :)

Milk flow too fast (forceful letdown)

Hello mummies, how do you cope with fast milk flow? My 5 week old chokes, coughs, gags and pushes off when latching on the side where my milk flow is too fast. I’ve tried different breastfeeding positions (normal cradle, side-lying, sitting up, leaning back) but none worked. Also did the scissors-finger to hopefully hold back some milk, and pre-pumped to reduce the amount, but all failed to solve the problem. So far I’ve been pumping out milk from this side to bottle feed after baby finishes latching on the other good side and still shows hunger cue. But I worry that baby is already too tired after latching on one side. #breastfeeding

Fever Panic! (What should I do?)

Dear all, My 1m23d son has a fever since 12/4/24 morning at about 6am. It was as high as 38.6 armpit temp. My wife got a little panic and ask to send him to the hospital. I tell her to calm down and I tried kangaroo care my baby till his next feed. *We muslim believe that skin to skin with child's father can cure minor fever or temperature hike for a baby.* But after his next feed, his temperature maintained at 38.6. So I decided to send my son to children emergency for further checks. After some checks, my son was diagnosed with RSV, urine infection and a cough. So he stayed for 3 days under nurses and doctor care. He got some medicine to help with his infections too. So after his stay in the hospital, his temperature was back to 37.1 through the whole day and night. Doctor discharged him but advice us that day 5, his temperature might spike again if not properly taken care off and advice us to return back to the hospital if it cannot be managed. So now his temperature only spike at night and well maintained in the morning/afternoon. I got some advices coming from the old tradision ways like sponging ice water at his armpit, damp room temperature water on his forehead, to the new modern ways like cool fever every part of his body. Both of these methods do not encourage to bathe my son because it will spike his temperature. I also made my personal researched where now it's stated that it's best to bathe my son with lukewarm water with lemon if any to stabilized his body temperature. Get him in a light clothing and let him rest. What I am looking for is the best way to treat my son because I don't wish to see him this weak and restless. He seems lethargic. I miss my dose of happiness. His smiles and his little giggles he always make.

What I did when my baby had fever is to spam fever patches all over. Forehead, neck, back, chest and armpits. Change the patches regularly. Wipe down baby, dress baby in cooling/airy tops with booties, try not to wrap baby (Reduce the fan speed, no aircon, open windows to circulate the area). Ive never really done sponge bath for baby so I can’t advise on whether that will work. If baby is on formula, dilute the formula in the meantime (lesser scoops than usual, water same). If on bm, just continue as per norm. Infants don’t really have much medicines to take so I can’t advise on that. Hope your LO gets well soon!

I dont want to pump.

How are you mummies coping with the pumping schedule for newborns? I'm only a few days postpartum but finding pumping such a hassle to do every day especially at night. :( Feel like giving up on breast milk and feeding just formula.. but at the same time trying to continue because its supposed to be good for baby.

I had barely any time to pump. Therefore i only latch as its easiest and no prep needed. U can mix feed or just stick to FM. Do whatever keeps u sane(:

Baby recovered from Covid

My 14 mths old baby just recovered from Covid a week ago and he doesn't seems to eat as much as before, has been having rice, vege, meat etc for his daily meal. Now only to eat a few bites, and mostly drink milk and water. Does it affect his appetite, is there a possibility of him lossing his taste bud due to Covid? Will he regain his taste bud? If yes how long it will take to regain it? For now what I can give him for nutrients? #pleasehelp

Baby does not want to sleep alone.

Hello Mama's, My little one is currently 2 months. I'm looking after her by myself in the day and I need a little advice on how to let the baby sleep on her own for daytime naps. Each time I set her down she will cry out. She only wants to sleep when she's carried. I understand that she feels safer sleeping on me but she's getting a little heavy for me. Swaddling, the traditional baby swing and the rocking crib doesn't work. Does anyone have any advice please?

So tired but husband unable to take care of baby

I am first time mum btw, husband works in the day so I take care of baby in the day and at night we share the responsibilities. However hubby can't make the baby sleep, can't feed the baby, the only thing he can do is change baby diaper and so everything else I have to do myself. For your info, husband can't make baby sleep because his "tactic" is to stuff pacifier into baby screaming mouth and that's it. I tell him to carry baby and rock him, but he just do like a robot and baby screaming like no tmr and I have to take him back. Thought to let him practice more but after a few days he show me his arms saying baby gave him rashes so he gonna try other method. He tries putting baby in those movable cot and push it and seems like a bit working, though takes very long, but after a few days he say his arms and leg breaking with this way. In the end always end up i put baby to sleep. Feeding milk also the same. Baby always screams when he feeds. He very robot, don't know how to soothe baby, just take out bottle when baby arch his back and stuff it back in his mouth when he screams. Then tell me baby don't want to drink. I thought of just asking him to change bb diaper only and wash bottles, but then he will be deprived of learning and bonding with baby. What to do? Haiz...

my husband was like that with newborn too! it gets better after 2-3months.

IFC teachers quarrelling

so end of year, the old teachers resign, principal resign, then also changing classes and shifts for the ifc teachers. today afternoon shift was all the "new" teachers and they cannot handle my girl who has been there since she was 2 months old. now 5 months already. today I pick her up, she crying, I just hold her and she stopped. but when I peeked in the window, they stuffed a blanket to her face and put her in the rocker to force her to sleep, when she crying so loudly. then they informed me that even though they just fed her 1 hour ago, they thought she hungry so fed her again, but she never stop crying, then they put the oil for the stomach cause thought she stomach pain but also didn't stop crying . .. last time the teacher will put pacifier but I guess they never pass the information, last time also teachers will carry awhile... but ok new teacher I just smile and say its ok, first day , they got to learn. then while I teaching my.husband how to use the carrier with the baby outside the center, we heard the 3 teachers with one kid still inside waiting for the parent, they quarreling very loudly. With one teacher scolding the other two the. they shouting.. I mean obviously , I feel the last kid sure traumatised... I feel I should say something but also not sure about it and to whom as well.. usually bb gurl come home will sleep immediately, but today, sleep alrdy then will cry very loudly when lights off and need to console , carry here and there half an hour and leave lights on, till she falls asleep.. I feel maybe she also traumatised by the new teachers way of handling her. Do you guys think I should say something to the morning teachers? or confront the afternoon teachers or wait a few days and see the situation? I don't know who more traumatised, my baby or my husband who usually don't pick her up, but clearing leave this end of year, so he is surprised to see her like this in the evening. And feels that the teachers traumatised her...

why are the teachers quarrelling?
