Nappies and bins

Just wondering how everyone controls the nappy stench in their house?? 😅

I have a tommee tippee nappy bin as I thought it would be better than the nappies stinking out the kitchen bin, but my god the nappy bin is nuclear!!! It is just another level of stinky and the smell lingers even after cleaning it out???

Does anyone have this same problem or any tips on how I can stop having such a stinky house 😂

We just collect them by the front door and every time someone goes out we put it in the main bin outside. So when my husband leaves this morning he’ll take the 2 that are there. When I go at 10ish for a group, I’ll take whatever is made this morning etc.

Poop nappies go in the outside bin we only put wet ones in the nappie bin because no matter how many nappie bags you use it still stinks the house out!

We collect by the kitchen door / pop out to put them straight into the outside bins so they’re not hanging around the house x

I use the Tommee tippee nappy bin, I always make sure to put the poos in nappy bags still x

We have the same bin, it was fine when our little girl was younger but like you noticed it’s horrific now she eats real food so poo nappies go outside as soon as possible! X

I do use nappy bags but they don’t seem to help much! Thanks ladies, think I’m going to have to just put them straight outside from now on x

They go straight in the outside bin. Luckily he only goes once or twice a day so it’s not too bad taking them straight out 😂

We have purple bags to put our nappies in, they get collected every fortnight, I had a tommee tippee nappy bin with my first child and it just stank, so I never bothered this time around, so My nappy bin is outside, I have the purple bag in an actual bin, so much easier x

Flush the poos down the toilet, will help with the nappy bin not smelling terrible!

Nothing even comes close to this!! It’s bloody amazing. Have two in little boys room and you can’t smell them at all! There not even in bags. Just straight in the bin xx

I launch them out the back door and then put them in the outdoor bin when I get chance x

We flush the poo’s down the toilet which takes the majority of the smell away!! X

Like some others have said I usually do the same, leave them by front door and then take them out.. unless it's a poo I'll throw right after change. My 4 year old loves throwing them down the stairs if I change her upstairs 😂 can't stand nappies in bins, even if just a wee it starts smelling next day

We use scented nappy bags

Nappy bin combined with nappy bags does the trick. Angel care to be specific

Little vent

I hate to vent but it’s needed… I hate being pregnant!

This is my first pregnancy and honestly I waited so long for this and was beyond excited for the whole process.

I am so grateful to be pregnant and I can’t wait to meet my little girl but I am having a horrible time.

I’m 21 weeks and had sickness up until 19 weeks. I have no energy, absolutely exhausted all the time. I’m moody and snappy. I have 0 social battery. I’m uncomfortable.
Just over the whole thing already.

My boyfriend is amazing. Literally carrying me, he does everything for me with no complaints. I feel so guilty that I can’t just give him a positive attitude and affection.

I’m so excited to have my baby but this is the hardest thing I’ve ever done.

A teeny bit sad today

My partner and I have been dedicating ourselves sooo much to our baby girl that we are struggling to find ways to stay connected to ourselves. I am really good at getting tasks done in short bursts but he isn’t. So I’m finding that I’m doing a lot and he says he feels he is falling behind. He set a goal to return to a sport while all this is going on and for some reason, this sport seems tied to him feeling good about himself. He’s wonderful at being a dad and a partner, so I’m trying to find ways to show him that. But it kind of feels like I’m taking on a little too much now with a 2 month old and my partner who doesn’t seem to be in a good place to receive my love / appreciation.

Did anyone else see this change in their partners? Almost like a depression in the dad?

fighting resentment

I love my husband so much but when I am breastfeeding at all hours of the night and i look over to see him sleeping i cant help but feel pangs of resentment. He works full time and I’m a SAHM so i literally WANT him to get his sleep, i choose not to wake him up for diaper changes or anything because he works hard outside all day and he needs to rest. Even so, illogically my brain just gets frustrated to see him sleeping when im waking up 3-7 times a night to bf.

Ive never liked or wanted kids and did not plan or want to get pregnant, so even though i love my baby i think when im so exhausted caring for the baby its also making me resentful. Everytime he says he is so tired i just want to drop kick him.
How do i manage this? or can you just tell me im not alone in it.
I really feel like he doesnt grasp how much work breastfeeding at night is and how exhausted it makes me.

Am I a bad mom or is this normal….what can I do I need advice

Okay so I don’t know if this is my fault but my 17 month old son as much as I love him has been a little terrorist lately like not 100% of the time but enough for me to be a bit concerned like he’s been hitting throwing toys pulling hair screaming in my face and full blown tantrums and just plainly being mean acting like a bully and he used to listen when I would redirect him or tell him to stop but the defiance has been so real the past few days he will laugh in my face when I tell him no about something and then continue to do it I’m currently pregnant with my second and I’m due in mid May so getting up and chasing him has been a lot harder is anyone else experiencing this or has experienced this because I’m starting to feel like I’m a bad mother or that it’s my fault…

What do you do with your kids when you go into labour?

Hi mamas,
Just wondering what you all do with your children when you go into labour if you don’t have family nearby? I have two kids and no support around, so I’m trying to figure out a plan.
Would really appreciate any advice or experiences 💛

Anyone experiencing baby fever? It’s wrong on my part because my son is 7 months old 😭

He’s going to be 8 months in a week or so but idk I’m over here thinking another baby couldn’t hurt. However those are just my baser instincts whispering in my ear, and I have to tell them no that’s not reality anymore, I can’t just go around having kids because kids are a lot of work and after the baby stage comes the hell raiser stage and I question everything all over again.

My partner is all for it though he’s been wanting another but I’m like it’s too soon, and at the very least I wanted to wait years before another one. Hopefully I can resist the baby fever and hold out for another few years 😭never knew how hard it could be to have to talk yourself down from a reckless decision like having another baby. That’s why I worry when others in either his or my family start having kids and then it’ll kick up the baby fever again despite me knowing it’s best to wait.
