Just thought it would be a good idea to share some tips for first time mums.
My number one tip is to store your stocked packets of wipes upside down so all the moisture goes to the top of the pack. when you come to use them the wipes you take first wont be dry.

I have a little one who is 4.5 weeks old and I'm beginning to feel like a bad mum :/
I want to play with him the best I can but I'm not sure how - I talk and sing to him and try with rattles and his play gym but he's not interested in them... And he hates tummy time. I know he's only tiny but I feel like I neglect him and all I do is feed him and let him sleep :(
I know that soon he'll be more interactive but I want some ideas for now :( don't want him to think his mummy doesn't care x

Can you overdose on Raspberry Leaf Tea? The stupid tea bag box doesn't say what the recommended amount is and I've had four teas today. Is that too much? I'm only drinking it to help with labour as I had a really long hard one last time. I know it doesn't induce you.
