Dose anyone do car seat fit check? (avionaut sky)

My parents brought the avionaut sky for my little one and brought it from a big company and I tried to mail them asking for a fit check but haven’t heard anything back.

I’ve had issues with the company regarding delivery so I doubt they will get back regarding the fit check.

Is anyone able to help?

Where have you bought it from? I'd contact Avionaut or worth posting on the car seat safety uk group :)

Great seat choice!! 🥰

Winstanleys Pramworld… I’ve contacted them 3 times about delivery and weren’t helpful at all and I’ve contacted them twice about the fitting and still no help!

Thanks ☺️

Oh yeah they're notoriously bad unfortunately 😫 is contact avionaut personally. Try extended rear facing on fb, I think their adminis will still do them for a fee but not totally sure.

Car sear safety UK, adminis won't, but familiar members should do, so if you say you're not asking for the adminis too but get people's opinions because your retailer is shit it should get some comments 🤞

I'd be happy to try, but not totally experienced in the sky! We'll need a 36kg one I think (91st weight 75-85th height and I think I'd like her to stay rf as long as possible and they'd do her to 7!) Xx

I was hoping it won’t be so bad because I read a few comments saying some people had good experiences with them. I did sent my parents the link for one of the admin on the car seat safety uk group but they said they found it cheaper somewhere else. 🥴

I’ve tried looking at other people’s post to see if I can work it out myself but don’t feel like am 100% with how it looks.

Might need to try one of the groups because we’re due a 4 hrs trip this weekend and really need this sorted out! X

If you join Car Seat Safety UK (https://www.facebook.com/groups/carseatsafetyuk/?ref=share) and post a picture on there asking for a fit check, admins will get back to you 👍

I’m already in the group and admins don’t really do fit checks for specialist seats that wasn’t purchased from them. X

Oh really? Sorry I thought they did 🙈

Should I wake baby up to feed?

First time mum here, my baby is 2 months old today. Should I be waking her for night feeds? During the day she feeds every 2–3 hours, but at night she usually sleeps from around 11pm to about 3am, and I’ve been waking her then. Is that okay, or should I let her sleep?

Night time help!

Hi! My baby boy is nearly 6 months old and every night he wakes up anytime from 2am onwards and will be awake for well over two hours.
I’ve tried changing his naps during the day, changing his bedtimes and yet nothing seems to help!
Any tips that might help this exhausted mummy?
I don’t mind the wake ups if he would settle straight away but he views it as a whole wake window.

Newborn sleep for 9 hours

Hello mamas, my newborn is 6 weeks old. Last night she slept for 9 hours without waking up for a feed. The previous night she slept for 8 hours as well. During the day she had quite a lot awake periods and she was eating well. She also gained 1kg for a month which the midwife said it's very good. Is she okay like that and should I wake her up to feed her during the night?

Crazy MIL??

I’ve always found my mother in law tricky - she has a hideous nervous energy about her and finds everything absolutely hilarious which sets me right on edge. We’ve just had a baby and she came down to meet her. It was very soon after baby was born so we were pretty knackered and I’d suffered bad hypertension in hospital and had had to stay in for a week. She had wanted to come and see me there but I managed to get my husband to say no- she would have not made my blood pressure any better!
So she came to see the baby a couple of weeks after with her partner- who btw had a chest and they didn’t tell us.
My MIL was at her most hyper and difficult. She stayed hours and hours and held the baby all the way though- fed her her bottle (just took it off my husband) without asking and took photos and posted them without asking.
Then I was changing the babies nappy. Baby had terrible nappy rash at the time and was screaming with pain - making me want to cry. My MIL just sat there watching - hooting with laughter. 🫠
But the worst thing is she made these WEIRD comments - there was a photo of baby just wearing a vest and she said she “looked a hussy.” Then later when we were describing about the baby having phototherapy- which was horribly traumatic- my husband said how he tucked her into his denim jacket to keep warm - his mothers response was “ah so she likes a bit of rough???”
I think in her mind she was being really funny but I was appalled by her comments. In the end I made and excuse, went upstairs to have a shower and then sat there until they left. I used to feel fed up and weary at the thought of her but now I feel pure anger. It’s tricky as obviously she’s my husbands mum. She also gave us the deposit for our house and is generally generous in that way. She and my husband have a really odd relationship in my opinion- I’m super close to my fam and they all live nearby so we see them a lot
His mum lives in Devon and we’re in Kent which is something to be thankful for.
After they finally went she messaged my husband and asked to come and stay for a week. Thankfully he has the sense to say no. But Christ what is wrong with the women? Those comments have made me feel so hostile towards her. Should I just get over it??

Baby won’t sleep

Somebody please help me.
She’s crying, I’m crying. Idk what to do. Husband isn’t here rn and my mom’s asleep.
She’s not hungry, diapers freshly changed, she doesn’t seem uncomfortable in any way. She just seems tired but can’t fall asleep. She’s been doing this for a few days now, just fighting sleep. I refuse to let her cry it out and I’m doing everything I know and can do at this time. She’ll take the boob but keep stretching away every few seconds. She keeps chewing on her hand like she’s hungry but won’t eat cause she already did 30 minutes ago. I’m just at a loss and starting to get stressed. Nothing is helping.

Bedroom question??

So my husband and I have a four bedroom house the main floor in the master bedroom and another bedroom that our 1 year old is in. The second floor is two bedrooms and another bedroom extra storage closet my plan was to put our next baby due in July upstairs and make one of the rooms her bedroom now she wouldn’t be up there right away the first few months she would sleep in the bassinet next to our bed but around 3-5 months we move our kids into there own room. My mil and some of my friends are absolutely mortified by the idea of putting the baby upstairs but no one has gave me a valid reason other then “what if they fall down the stairs” like ummmm yall a 3 month old is not going to get out of her crib and fall down the stairs that’s just not possible. I thought of putting my one year old upstairs and she does know how to go up and downstairs however ik it would be to dark and she would definitely fall down the stairs and she has pretty bad night terrors and comes into our room and gets us or it’s close enough we can get to her fast enough when she’s really freaking out. My husband doesn’t seem to really care what we do lol so he hasn’t said much but I’m wondering what some other ppl think we should do.
