Newborn Hates Car Seat

Our 3-week-old absolutely hates her car seat (Maxi-Cosi Pebble). The moment we strap her in, she screams like she's being tortured.

We've checked that the harness isn't too tight, looked for any marks or pressure points, and even had the seat checked by the hospital, but everything seems fine. We've also tried gradually getting her used to it with short trips. Occasionally we can manage a brief drive without too much crying, but most journeys are pretty awful.

The second we take her out, she's completely fine again, although she genuinely seems really distressed while she's in it.

Has anyone else experienced this with their newborn? Did anything help, or did they eventually grow out of it? It's really limiting how far we can travel, so we'd be grateful for any tips or advice.

I'm dumb 🤣

Just found out that Once Upon a Child will reject an entire bag of clothes if something's covered in cat hair. Which like, fair, allergies are a thing, I 100% understand and was not upset.
Just feeling super dumb for leaving the bag where the cats could get into it 🤣
Rewashing everything now so I can bring it back tomorrow lmao, pray for me that I can get in and out without spending *more* money 😅

Nappies for a boy

What nappies are you using for your boys? We use kit and kin and keep having leaks. I think we need to change! We used these with our daughter and never had this issue. Trying to stick to natural materials but I think we may need different ones for night time

Ryanair pushchair

Booked a holiday through on the beach and flights Ryanair.

On the app it says ‘add extras’ and one of the options is ‘pushchair, gold club bag & guitar’ for £15 each.

Has anyone ever not booked and still taken one? I was intending on taking ATLEAST one. I’ve a just turned 1 year old and a 2.5 year old when we go on holiday. We have a double but wasn’t going to take incase got broken. So was just going to take a cheapy single.

If you did take one and not prebook did they make you pay at the gate? Or just let you on? Say they’re not allowed to take it as you didn’t pay?

I flew with a different air line last time (can’t remember what one) but we didn’t have to prebook/ warn or pay or anything. They just loaded it for us at the gate.

Blowout stains?!

Any recommendations for how to get out blow out stains? Maybe TMI but I’m struggling to get the bright yellow colour out and my baby has so many outfits that are stained. I try to rinse with cold water right away and use a stain remover spray, I don’t want to run the washing machine for one item of clothing. Any tips would be appreciated!
