Ive never had this happen with either boy (so probably later on!) but I’ve heard loosely undoing the nappy and using a wipe across the top of their nappy line prompts the pee first and it’s caught in the nappy. Dunno if it works!
It does happen with girls too I soon learnt.
But apparently they change in temperature is what makes them do it. So people have suggested before to put a wipe on their stomach and because it's cold, it makes them pee first before taking the nappy off
We had very intense screaming at 1am, came out of nowhere!Chocolate is made from plants so it’s practically fruitSorry about the crap night, we’ve had a few very unsettled nights and days this week. Lots of screaming. Not crying or chatting, but just screaming angrily. It’s super fun
I think girls do this too, I undo her nappy let her feel the air then get my cotton wool balls and nappy bag prepped so she has some time to still go in her dirty one before her clean up!?!
Must be something in the air, we’ve had this too!Chocolate is made from plants so it’s practically fruit
This was me. Those first weeks of bf I craved that quick energy boost & was eating chocolate constantly…. except the calorie burn thing didn’t work for me
I’ve been throwing a muslin cloth on top. My boy is very talented and has got wee in his mouth and ear this week
My baby sharted in my husband’s face earlier in the week. I almost wet myself laughing, my poor pelvic floor
Might be a stupid q but do you put a short sleeve bodysuit under leggings and tops? When would you use a long sleeve bodysuit? I have absolutely no idea how many layers she needs 
Ummmm i love her in outfits so don’t really use sleep baby grows, so because it’s warm I just have her in her leggings and top/baby grow without a vest and at night she has a long or short sleeve vest with a 1.5 tog halo swaddle.Might be a stupid q but do you put a short sleeve bodysuit under leggings and tops?

I always prefer to keep her that teenie bit colder so she can tell me if she’s cold rather than layering her up.
same for outdoors for her daily pram walk with dad but add a hat and cardi on a sheep skin liner.
Hope that makes sense x
I put short sleeve bodysuit under leggings and tops, I use the long sleeved ones for dresses when it's a bit too cold for a short sleeve one. At night she's just in a short sleeve body suit and a 1 tog swaddle but my room is roasting all the time.Might be a stupid q but do you put a short sleeve bodysuit under leggings and tops?

I was always just told one extra layer than what I have on so if I'm wearing just a t-shirt she has the body suit and t shirt. But I'm I'm ftm too so I'm just learning as I go along
We haven’t used vests since around June time, just started again this week as it got colder.Might be a stupid q but do you put a short sleeve bodysuit under leggings and tops? When would you use a long sleeve bodysuit? I have absolutely no idea how many layers she needs
I have them in
• short sleeved vest and baby grow until about 6 months
• short sleeved vest and outfit (eg leggings and a top)
I don’t use any long sleeved vests.
Then add a cardigan at cooler times for going out, or when it’s cold I use a fleece all in one over the top of whatever they are wearing. I don’t use snow suits as they are impractical for the car and sling. Honestly, she’ll be fine in whatever you put on. Have extra layers handy in your change bag just in case. I repacked mine this week with hats etc for the cooler months ahead.
It also depends if you're going out ect too.Might be a stupid q but do you put a short sleeve bodysuit under leggings and tops? When would you use a long sleeve bodysuit? I have absolutely no idea how many layers she needs
As it's been warm, I've just been putting a sleepsuit on by itself. Or outfits without a vest.
But when it's a bit chillier, I'll put the vest underneath.
To start with in the first month or so I'd put a vest underneath too.
Long sleeved ones I'd use just that and leggings, no top. Or I'd put them under dresses
As someone said, the basic rule is 1 layer more than you need. But obviously if you're just in a Tshirt and you're hot. Then just 1 layer for baby is enough
Also, just to add if you’re planning to put baby in a sling that would count as a layer. And if you have them in a car seat or buggy with a blanket, and you’ve folded the blanket over it counts as 2 layers.
Just to double add for anyone that isn't aware not to put baby in car seats with coats/snowsuits ect on.
I think it's widely known now but just incase

This is why I love a fleece all in one, because they are so thin and don’t compress at allJust to double add for anyone that isn't aware not to put baby in car seats with coats/snowsuits ect on.

a really good (safe!) Middle ground!Might have to look into one instead of a snow suit this year!This is why I love a fleece all in one, because they are so thin and don’t compress at all
Thanks everyone! Since the heatwave I’ve had her in a sleepsuit but no vest most of the time, so I think I just panicked now it’s getting chillier my issue with the one layer more rule is that I’m always cold (will literally wear knitwear all year round) whereas my other half wears shorts when it’s snowing, so we’re useless as a baseline guide

H&M usually do too, but can’t see any on there at the minute.
