I've asked my best friends for their lists. They r organised and gave me spreadsheets haha. But I think online lists will have u buying everything under the sun whereas my friends are more realistic about what u actually use.
So deffo ask for opinions if u can xx

I've been using the NHS checklist, seems reliable and is similar to other ones I've seen online

Although people I've spoke to who have had babies have said to get about 15 sleepsuits per age if you don't want to be doing loads of washing all the time

@Emily i second the multiple vests and sleepsuits. With my first we had about 15 to 20 of each. After 6 months you can get away with less. Most get stained and go in the bin so buy 2nd hand or hand me downs

I definitely don’t recommend buying all these cute little outfits for the first 0-6 months unless it’s for a special occasion. 1) They’ll hardly wear them. 2) If they do wear them they’ll be sick on it and poop on it. 3) You’ll find Vests and Baby Grows are you best friends until they’re on the move as they’re quick to change and you’ll have multiple of them so no need to worry what baby will look like as presumably you’ll love all the baby grows you buy in the first place 😊

My baby is 9 months old and starting nursery. When she’s at home if we’re not going out the house she wears a babygrow all day and if we do go out or she goes to nursery I put her in cheep clothes that we don’t mind getting ruined, messy and stained! x

We only have nice clothes for her for Sunday church and special occasions

8 week immunisations

My 8 week old has his first set of injections tomorrow and I’m abit nervous. Does anyone have any advice for after the jabs? I know they get a temp after so have got some calpol to give just before hand. Should I put him to bed in less clothing to make sure he doesn’t get too hot? Any tips from your experience with first set of immunisations? Am I worrying more than I need to? 😅

11 month old constantly standing in cot

Please tell me someone has some advice for this cause wow it’s trying. My almost 11 month old is fully on the move now and his new favourite thing is repeatedly pulling to stand in his cot. The problem is that he wears a sleep sack (mainly so his legs don’t get stuck between the bars tbh lol) so he’s not stable enough to lower himself down. So earlier he fell backwards and hit is head and now we feel like we can’t just leave him to it. Typically it’s his first full day at nursery tomorrow and my first day back at work IT’S LIKE HE KNOWS!!
Please tell me someone has some tips. Currently we are quietly placing him back on his back every time but he just keeps doing it! 🤣🤡

Took 9 week old to a family party where there was loud music and she was next to the speaker for most of the time (about 3 hours). She slept through most of it. Do you think she has hearing loss from this?

Freaking out right now :(

Struggling in the 4 month regression

How are people getting out of the 4 month regression? I’ve been looking it up and it says I need to be trying to put him down drowsy but awake but this does not work for my LO. Every time we do this he ends up being wide awake and after almost an hour of trying we have to contact nap/rock to sleep. I want to avoid rocking to sleep because now when he wakes up in the night he needs to be rocked back to sleep which he never used to need.

Nights are constantly broken because we are up 2-3 times to rock him back to sleep. Please give me your tips on how to survive this and how to get out of this!! Constantly feel like I’m failing and doing something wrong
