Buggy advice

After a single buggy that… Has a big big basket Is lightweight but sturdy (we walk 1-2 hours a day) Faces both ways (for toddler and 3 month old) Affordable Can fit my tall 2 year old (growing out of the cosatto giggle) Potentially in a nice colour 😂😂 I don’t drive so boot size isn’t an issue Any suggestions?…

Daytime sleep

How often are your babies sleeping during the day? Some days she will sleep, wake for a feed and go back to sleep and it feels like she’s asleep all morning and afternoon. She’s always wide awake in the morning and early evening. Should I be waking her more? X

Baby carriers cost a fortune

I keep hiring them from sling libraries but I want to get my own so I don't have to keep going back and swapping it out or paying more money. Why are they so expensive 😭 I'm on my 3rd hire and ended up back with a tula explore. As that was the first one I got to try out. I had another one that I've just returned…

Sleeping longer stretches and clingy during day

I don’t want to jinx it but my baby has been doing so much better with his night sleeping. He has been giving 2 almost 3 hour stretches where he doesn’t wake at all. However he has now become a clinger during the day where he won’t be put down for nothing 😅 I swear newborn life is trading off one win for another.…

Reasons my partner has annoyed me today…

Planned to go out into town and take baby out for the day. This morning at 10am he said I’ll have a quick nap as I was up with baby at 6. Ok no worries started to get myself ready whilst he had a “quick” nap….. 5 hours later he just has only woken up now. It’s 3pm and now the day is gone and wasted. 😡

How long is your LO napping?

My LO has started sleeping through the night roughly 50% of the time (it's been a long road!) but I cannot fathom what the pattern is from day to day! He would happily sleep for 2.5hrs in the afternoon if I let him, but I usually cap it at around 2 hours, 12.30 - 2.30. He gets up at around 7 and goes to bed 7.30-8...

Bath set up for 8months +

What is your set up for bath time? My 8-month old is still in her AngelCare bath seat that we put in the tub, but she’s getting too big for it. We have the Frida bath tub but we don’t like the green attachment it comes with for newborns and 3-6months old. I would like an option that allows her to sit in shallow wate...

Whose baby is in their own room now?

My son will be 7 months next week, and by this age my daughter was already in her own room. I don't feel mentally prepared for him to move into his own room as he is my last baby. So I'm just intrigued how many other babies the same age have already made that move x
