Angelcare or shnuggle baby bath?

Hi girls, what’s better & safer baby bath to use - the perforated ones like Angelcare or Nuby which means the main bath needs to be filled with water or a stand-alone baby bath with plug so that only the baby bath is filled with sufficient water to be drained out after use?

I’ve bought the skip hop baby bath (blue one)

I have the angelcare my friend recommended it but I haven't used it yet x

We've bought the shnuggle baby bath on a few friends recommendations. I'll be having a c section and I think it'll be tough to be down on the floor / leaning over the bath. This way we can place the baby bath on a high surface to help

I will he having C section too so leaning towards the shnuggle baby bath which can be kept on any surface/ room.

We have both shnuggle bath and angelcare seat, honestly was using the bath for baths and seat for showers as our little one preferred showers and also used the seat when we wanted to have a bath with her 😊 planning to use both again with our second one 😊

My friends recommended the shnuggle

that makes complete sense. Baby’s preference as they grow matters 😊 x

Thanks x

Personally prefer the angel care as can hop in with baby if needed

I got the skip hop. Been recommended

Angelcare bath is in Aldi for £12.99! Exact same make xx

Depends on your facilities at home. We got given an angel care but our bath is very tall and will be difficult to bend over to wash and support baby. So we have got the shnuggle too now so we can bath anywhere in the house. Just an fyi there are so many on fb marketplace if you're interested. We got ours free from there and good condition

I loved my shnuggle bath for my last baby so using another for this one!
We could easily bath her in the front room or in the kitchen on a surface you can even put it inside the bath tub or up high on a changing unit. It makes it so much easier and because they’re basically sat up as they grow it makes bath time fun for them💖

Good find on the Aldi thank you x

I might be getting the Angelcare from a friend but since it’s gonna be C section for me, I might add on Shnuggle like most of them have recommended in terms of flexibility x

Shnuggle bath for sure! I'd have to run soo much bath water to submerge the angelcare seat as my bath is very wide. Whereas the Shnuggle you can have anywhere in the house, I plan on using it on the kitchen side! But a friend of mine has a stand for hers as they only have a shower in their house. Works great!

Bassinet to Crib

My LO is 10 weeks and growing fast! She has already doubled her birth weight and is “tall” I know I’ll have to transition her to a crib. She currently sleep beside our bed in her bassinet. Curious - when and how did that happen for your LO? Did you move crib into your room? Sleep in their room to ease with the change?

Bed sharing mamas - set up??

So I am bed sharing with my baby. It’s the only way we get sleep. She is now practicing standing and is super mobile. I feel on edge that she will fell of the bed.

How do you guys do it? Push the bed against a wall? Have you got some covers on the side . Share all your tips x

Don't understand the white soft play trend

Is anyone else confused why there are so many white/cream soft plays popping up everywhere. Visually they are so dull and not stimulating for a child. I would never pay the ridiculous prices they ask (more than normal soft play)

I hate the newborn age

Is it normal to actually hate the newborn phase? We are 8 days old so still very new to this and I’m a FTM. I thought I would LOVE having a newborn baby. I’m so overwhelmed and anxious if I’m getting anything right, if she’s happy if she’s fed if she’s gassy if she’s sleeping enough that I’m just not finding much joy in the newborn stage at all. I feel pretty lonely (even though my husband is the biggest support system and my absolute rock). Finding exclusively breastfeeding tricky and sort of wishing away these early weeks so we can get some sort of routine in place! Anyone else the same?

How can I get enough sleep 😴

My 11 month old has never been a great sleeper. He went to bed at 8:00pm last night. Me and my partner tidied up and went to sleep at 9ish. Baby still wakes 3 times a night and can take a while to resettle. My partner wakes up at 5 for work and he is also very tired.

He often wakes up close to my alarm too (when working). My alarm was set for 6 and baby woke up at 4:30. He only went back to sleep in his cot at 5:30. Meaning there is no time for me to go back to sleep and my day has started at 4:30.

Even when going to bed at 9, I still cannot catch enough sleep to get me through the day. I am 14 weeks pregnant and the tiredness is hitting me hard.

Do you make your bed ?

I don’t mean first thing in the morning, but after you’ve aired it out, do you take a moment to make it properly? Even just folding the duvet back neatly and straightening the sheets?

I can’t stand leaving a bed unmade. I genuinely don’t understand how people go about their day without sorting it out first.
