My LO was the same, I ended up introducing a comforter but if we’re out and about I use a Muslin still. He just loves something touching his face. I think the advice is 1 to reduce the risks of SIDS. But I let him sleep with the comforter, he was at an age where he could move his head away if he needed to and now he puts it over his face to fall asleep
but I know he can move it If he doesn’t like it. Most nights now he rolls away from it in his sleep anyway but he uses it to self settle.I was the same when I was pumping, if it got down to two bottles I’d start to panicSpent a lot of time today trying to get baby Nellie breastfeeding more. Started off good but then she’s just been screaming and crying at my boobs again and just generally upset. Got so carried away with trying to breastfeed I lost track of my pumping so I’ve just about got enough milk to get us through til morning - does anyone else get milk anxiety around pumping? I panic if I’m more than 2 feeds worth behind
I’m thinking I’ll do a mix of BLW and purées. When you first start, do you just do 1 vegetable per day? Is there somewhere which has an idiots guide to weaning as I feel like I need to read it 
Mine has a little bunny teddy she likes to cuddle up to. I let her cuddle it until she's just gone to sleep, then move it away from her. I've left it in her cot on daytime sleeps when I can sit with the monitor and check it, but never overnight.
The Ella’s kitchen book is quite good. Mainly focused on purées rather than BLW but gives a good idea of what veg to introduce first etc. We followed this as was just under 6 months and now do a mixture but have mainly moved to finger foods as he enjoys feeding himself much moreI was talking to my husband last night about weaning and realised I have absolutely no bloody idea
these are the Weaning Sense book I have borrowed from my local library - it was published in 2017 and seems a bit Australian/NZ in parts but seems like a decent guide?I was talking to my husband last night about weaning and realised I have absolutely no bloody idea
sh*t 
With my daughter we just did BLW, but the idea of feeding her full meals was overwhelming at first so I started off with breakfast and she would just have what I had (toast, cereal, porridge, weetabix, fruit, yogurt etc) obviously being mindful to give eg full fat plain yogurt rather than sweetened ones. When we’d got to grips with that I then included her in our evening meal too, again making sure there wasn’t any added salt/things weren’t too spicy but provided it was served in finger like strips I just gave her the same we had. Didn’t really introduce lunch until she was actually properly eating (which she wasn’t properly eating until maybe 10-11 months)I was talking to my husband last night about weaning and realised I have absolutely no bloody idea

busting my ass trying to guess what’s up with this little madam. then if we’ve got nothing to do I find i don’t get dressed for ages and get stuck in a feeding/entertaining loop until she naps. Yesterday we had to go out at 10 and I was like a superhero.Same! We were due to visit my parents today so would have been up and out by 10am, but they cancelled and now it's half 12 and baby bandit is snoozing on my chest and I'm still in my dressing gownAlso on the weaning, I’ve signed up for the weaning kit too but find a lot of it overwhelming! I want to do a mix of BLW and purées. I read that it takes them ten times to get used to a taste?
Random moan but does anyone find unless you go out you just waste a day? I fed her at 7ish then we both napped on the bed till 10
to be fair, I guess it's good to have days like these to help us rest and build up the energy for the busier days - I've got MS and am really struggling with fatigue and leg aching/weakness at the moment so having a quiet day at home is just what I need before it all picks up again tomorrow! Enjoy the calm 
5 is at a holiday camp today so I thought I’d tidy and organise her wardrobe ahead of school starting again. I always just end up making way more mess instead. TF had a little shitfit and is now having a mega nap in the carrier which really limits what I can get done. 5 is going to come home and be like “what have you done to my room, you monster?!”Also on the weaning, I’ve signed up for the weaning kit too but find a lot of it overwhelming!

Yes! We were half way through when I read the big that said many parents find it the hardest leap (which made me feel better)! Hang in there and sending positive thoughts and energy
My first couldn’t until she was 6mos 6days. 5 mos to sit unaided is very early.
Honestly try not to worry. Babies don't read the rule book. My little one definitely hasn't. I had read that most babies roll from front to back first, not mine! Also my little is 4.5 months old & she definitely isn't anywhere near sitting unaided. She will sit up holding my hands & in a bumbo chair. I also sit her on the floor with me & tripod her, so she can build up her core strength, but she only does it for a few seconds.
