John Lewis baby store

Does anyone know which John Lewis has a bigger baby department out of the one on Oxford street, Westfield Shepherd’s Bush, Kingston? And any recommendations on other baby shops?

We’re going on our first baby shop! I’m so excited, but we don’t drive so would be easier having everything under one roof.

I haven’t been to Kingston but I would say Oxford Circus is bigger than Westfield Shepherds Bush.

We did ours today at the Oxford street one and it was soooooo helpful! We only went in to look at prams/sleep things so booked a 45min aptm but could’ve easily filled a 90min session. Defo would recommend and they seemed to have most things in store

Oxford Street John Lewis or Peter Jones in Chelsea are bigger. If you’re looking for prams Peter Jones has a little test ramp where you can try the prams on different surfaces. Book an appointment on their website they are so helpful and you get discounts x

As above, I’d recommend to book a nursery advice session with John Lewis on their website and choose Oxford St or Peter Jones. The partners are car seat trained as well.

Westfield Shepherd’s Bush John Lewis I found had a good selection but not huge. However, they also have a mamas and papas which was fab and other baby stores ☺️

Oxford Street one is amazing, they are super helpful and will go above and beyond! I bought a pram in the sale and had so many issues getting parts because the older model had been discontinued- they did everything in their power to make it work for me. I now have everything I need would highly recommend 😊✨ have fun!

it was really helpful as I actually decided against one due to it was harder to push up onto the kerb bit due to the design which I wouldn’t have known without it!

Nursery lunches?

My daughter is nearly 10 months old and starting nursery next month. I want to send my daughter in with lunches so I know shes eating healthy meals but I'm honestly so lost as to what to put in her little bento lunch box that will keep till lunch time and doesnt need reheating. Ive been doing loads of baby led weaning at home, but I tend to make it fresh or pull stuff from the freezer I've previously made and defrost and reheat.
Could you show me some of the lunches you've been giving your baby? Or have you been been letting the nursery deal with the food?

Resentment and placing blame on partner

Firstly, please don’t judge me - I’m aware all my thoughts aren’t rational and I do already feel badly about them

I’m finding myself becoming easily frustrated, annoyed, and placing a lot of blame on my partner for many things. Now I’d get it if he was rubbish but he’s not - he has the baby straight away when he gets home from work, he lets me get ready and shower before he goes to work, he pitches in with the chores and gives me any time I ask for off. He doesn’t go out loads either.

I do a lot of the mental labour - realising we need more of and purchasing clothes, milk, groceries, deciding dinner, cooking, cleaning, thinking about what baby needs, etc.

However I just find myself annoyed and blaming him for so many things I find difficult. I know this isn’t fair, but it’s almost like I’m angry that he’s finding it easy and I’m not. Angry if I’ve just got the baby to sleep and he doesn’t think and closes doors to loudly. Angry when he doesn’t dress baby warm enough, or when he puts him in a car seat with a coat on. When he forgets a blanket or doesn’t wash his hands and plays with him. When hes snoring and I’ve just got the baby to drift off.

We have had many conversations and he has tried to take loads off me but it never feels like enough for me to stop being annoyed with him.

Am I experiencing some sort of post partum mental health issues? I find myself upset and crying a lot. any advice would help.

Parenting 24/7 is harder than going to work full time?

I’m having a debate with my partner as he’s done nothing to help since. Our 14 month old was born, I’ve done it all alone all day and all night. He gets a break when he comes in from work all night I never get a break
He try’s to tell me it’s harder going to work full time 5 days a week than parenting ALONE 24/7?
What do you think

Partner is giving me the silent treatment

So I was struggling with my postpartum anxiety bad yesterday. My partner and I was out for drinks with family. He kept making jokes about treating me a bit shit.
Which no one thought was funny. I am usually quite patient about him using me as his jokes, but yesterday it hurt.

When we got home I told him it made me feel disrespected. Now he is giving me the cold fat shoulder?! What do I do ?

Hello,
FTM here. At what age do you stop applying cream on nappy area during nappy changes? My 2 year old boy isn’t toilet ready yet but uses both nappy pants/pull ups and regular diapers

I live in a small 2 bedroom flat. How do I keep my home smelling nice?

Especially bedroom considering dirty laundry lives in there too. I do laundry once a week because I don’t use enough to do more frequent.
But I just want my room smelling nice and cosy.

The more natural the method the better ladies 😣
I open windows everyday. I don’t get enough sunlight for plants 😭
