Stokke Tripp trapp worth the hype?

Does anybody have one and would they recommend? There seems to be lots on marketplace which makes me wonder why people aren’t keeping them as chairs.

We have one and love it. Means as toddlers they can get easily up and down themselves and we use it for the older one to 'help' in the kitchen. I think you find them on market place because they last well so have a lot of life in them after one child 😅

Thanks that’s useful! I thought that they convert into an actual chair though that can be used ‘for life’ but it seems as though people sell them once they’ve finished using them as high chairs. I’m not fussed about the high chair but my mum is set on buying a stokke for my little one. I just hate to think of her spending all that money (she wants to get it new) if it’s not worth it. If you don’t mind me asking, if you were buying again, would you pay full price?

They do convert into chairs and last a while. My half sister had hers for 6/7 years. Our 2 year old uses it now without the high chair bit and it works great as steps to get up to the seat herself. We have just 'upgraded' her to a booster seat so the second baby can use it as a high chair but otherwise we would have continued to use it

I had it as a present so would take it again as that. Else I would buy second hand but def get one. Lasts longer than other high chairs I have seen and is more aesthetically pleasing

I got a Hauck alpha and it’s brilliant! About a third of the price with all the accessories etc

that made me laugh! Which one did you go for in the end and would you recommend?

im happy to have a second hand one but you know what some grandparents are like, they think that it’ll fall apart with the baby in it unless it’s new 😄

I’ve not heard of that one. I shall Google it. Thank you 😊

It does worth it in my opinion. We have one, and we love it! You can keep it for years. It is very pricey though, especially with all the accessories. We’re planning to have a second child though, so hopefully we can use them again.

I have one, secondhand. I like the ergonomics of it

I have a second hand one. They’re designed to last for years and be passed on - it’s great. We’ve had the newborn part so she could be at the table with us

Also considering but can’t help feel they look v uncomfortable for a younger baby (6m)
I’m also looking at the silver cross one that converts to a shorter floor play table x

I think Motherhood has made me more bitter than I realized…

This is such a ramble but I don’t know where else to put it all.

I’m four months in and I don’t really have hobbies right now. I don’t do anything for myself except maybe doomscrolling or listening to a podcast while I breastfeed my baby. I used to craft and have game nights with friends. Activities that usually are at least 2 hour stretches. Now if I have an hour free my mind immediately goes to baby, or doing something in the house for baby.

And I thought I didn’t mind. Like I knew postpartum could be very mentally consuming. But I think it’s altering how I view people around me and it’s prodding at my relationship with my husband.

He spends most of his time making food for us, looking after our dogs, playing with the baby, ect. But he still has time for his hobby. Spends maybe an hour a night on it. Even adapted to using a bot for shopping for his hobby after a certain incident where we had to have a heart to heart after he left me home alone with the baby for hours during a busy workday (I work from home) to shop for his hobby.

And yet there’s like this little green eyed monster in me that rages every time I know he’s running off to start up the bot. Even though I’m the reason he does it this way.

We took a family trip last weekend to see his best friend and their kids and let them meet the baby. He brought the laptop. He’s always brought a laptop on trips and it’s never been a problem to me before. But one night we both woke up while the baby was still asleep, and he wandered out of the room. I tried to fall back asleep but couldn’t. So I went to the kitchen to try having something warm to drink to settle me. And he was there at the table running the bot from his laptop. I flipped out at him. But there really wasn’t reason to. It’s not like I needed help with the baby and he was ignoring me. He wasn’t avoiding our friends. He was just awake and unable to sleep and found something to do with his time. Yet my snap reaction was “why the hell would you do this on a family trip?”

I don’t know what it is. Maybe it’s the less complete sleep from baby’s middle of the night feed? My brain being just consumed by baby? Maybe I’m not as over that shopping incident as I thought? But I’m just so annoyed at his hobby right now. The green eyed monster thinks “you could be using that time differently” but realistically to do what exactly??? Stare at our baby in the dark???

I spent probably an hour apologizing to him after I snapped. And he’s of course hurt and frustrated because I said some very mean things in the moment.

I don’t want to be this jealous, angry person. But I also don’t know how to find time for myself in this right now outside of basic hygiene. It’s like I’ve forgotten how to be myself, even if just for an hour.

Maybe I need a therapist.

Do men really enjoy fellatio?

Been together more than 10 years, but it's been a while since he even seemed remotely interested in me getting on my knees, or vice versa so to speak. I think it was once last year. Must be something I am doing wrong 🤔. Generally everything else in that department is great and we have two young kids with no extra support, so it's quite surprising we can't keep our hands off each other but may need to try new things. It's basically 2 positions each time with some foreplay.

Naps

How is everyone doing for naps?

Little one is 9 months old and will have 2 half hour naps and one solid 1 hour - 2 hour nap a day

Then settles for night around 9pm. Wakes for a feed around 3:30 then sleeps until 6-7
