Going to sound stupid, but how did you do this?😂

Love this !

no not at all!! I bought a cover, placemat and foot rest from etsy then for the legs I just ordered some black wood effect vinyl wrap from Amazon and stuck it on the longs. I think etsy actually do the full kits already measured out which is probably easier (not cheaper) 🥰 all together cost me £60 with the chair included x

I love this but also where is your dining table from? It all matches my colour scheme and I want it 😅

oh my gosh it’s a really cheap one from the range, but online, one of their sellers from their website if that makes sense? Not in store

I love it! It comes with 4 chairs and a bench for £289 😍

Ahh thank you!! Might end up getting the IKEA high chair as well, it goes with the room much better than the pink baby bug one I’ve got at the moment 🤣

That’s really cute!

thank you so much!

Try cove too https://www.covebaby.co.uk

yeah I much preferred it because it’s not big and bulky can just leave it out and it’s so much easier to clean down afterwards🙏 I used the shop “babble and chew” on Etsy, they have a website too x

yes this is where I got the cover from for the insert🫶🏽

I love it, think I’ll be buying both to be honest! Sorry to be a pain but do you know how long your table is? The range website says 117cm but another one says 140cm so I just want to check 😂 x

What age can they go in this chair? 6 months +?

I would say whenever they can hold their own head and sit unaided! my baby can hold her head and sit with my help and she’s my 5 months, sits in it perfectly x

yay sounds good! I honestly couldn’t tell you, I can measure it tomorrow for you just drop me a message and remind me. I’ll send you some more photos too x

thank you but it’s ok I’ve ordered it anyway so I’ll find out! X

oh shoot sorry I completely forgot! But yay! Hope you love it 🫶🏽

oh my god it literally matches your counter tops amazing!!!! I love it. No problem at all lovely glad you like it xx

and the highchair looks amazing too😍🤌🏼

Vanilla extract

Has anyone used alcohol free vanilla in their babies formal to help them drink?
I’m 100% sure my baby refuses her bottles as she doesn’t like the taste of it!

Just anxious to try it, don’t want her to get used to it and then refuse bottles again after two weeks of using (correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve read you use it for 2 weeks max)

TIA 🙂

When did you circumcise your baby?
If you DID NOT or DO NOT have a circumcised son DO NOT comment this post is not for you!

Did you wait a certain amount of time or have it done immediately?
Again respectfully, this is only for the parents who choose to do so.
opinions about how not necessary it is will not be appropriate for this post. Thank you in advance. 🩵

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?

Car seat crying

My 6 month old PANICS the second I put him in a car seat and screams, cries, chokes and recently even projectile vomited on a 14 minute drive. It’s gotten to the point I don’t even bring him out unless it’s to a doctors appointment. I’m a stay at home mom with no family in my state and it has been very isolating. We’ve tried 3 different car seats with no improvement. Has anyone had a baby who hated the car seat? Any advice? This started at 3 months. I will add it does seem worse when he’s tired. He does cry on every trip though. He only contact naps and co sleeps so he reaches for me and will not sleep in the car seat.

Sex post C section

Hi ladies I’m 4 weeks 5 days postpartum and I had a C section. I’m not bleeding properly anymore just some brownish discharge stuff that starts on and off. I’d like to do the deed with my partner; is it okay to do so or shall I wait the full 6 weeks. I feel up for it but also worried because the advice is 6-8 weeks.

Postpartum

I’m only 3 days postpartum (FTM) and already have extremely bad anxiety. I’m crying every night, as I think of another night of no sleep. My baby will not settle in his cot, he cries every moment we put him down unless in his chair rocker. So me and my partner are having to alternate after 3/4 hours of being awake with him downstairs. I’m trying everything to get him to settle. It’s a load of overwhelming stress. I’m 23, I was desperate for a baby and now I have one and feel completely useless. I miss it just being me and my partner.
