Nappies!

From newborn we’ve tried boots, fred&flo, pampers and aldi, I loved Aldi nappies until size 3 and then my daughter just started leaking through, we’re currently trying the rascal and friends but I just don’t like them I feel like there really bulky and really stick out with the slightest bit of wetness! What nappies in size 3 would be recommended please x

Sainsburys! I like them for day time and pampers for night as she sleeps longer of a night time so it holds more! I know pampers are pricey but boots usually do a 2 for £13 deal so when ur only using them of a night time too they last longer! But I do recommend sainsburys! X

yeah I untuck the sides each time I really did like the Aldi ones, the other ones I tried just didn’t fit her right or caused rubbing/rash and then as said the rascal+friends ones are so bulky like even when the nappy is freshly on they look huge! I haven’t tried Lidl so I might have to give them a try! Xx

Morrisons nappies! We’re currently using size 3 and even when my lo sleeps up to 8hrs and his nappy is super full we’ve never had leaks. They’re also only £2.99 a pack of 56 I think it is

I have started using nappy pants with my older one as normal nappies were leaking all the time

I’ve had the same - was using Tesco nappies in size 2 and getting on fine. Upsized to 3 yesterday and she leaked 3 times!! We decided maybe it was too soon to size up even though she’s over the weight of size 2’s, so we put her back in size 2 for a little longer thinking maybe it was just that they are too big for now! Would be keen to know if you find a solution! X

Tesco is doing a baby promotion at the moment where pampers are really cheap. It's 2 packs for 19 pounds so if you get the bumper packs that have 98 Nappies in it works out around 9p a nappy (Fred and flo are 5p a nappy). I normally get Fred and flo but they do leak a bit so thought I'd stock up on pampers whilst they are cheap!

morrisons nappys are great never had any leaks and found them to be just like pampers

Is this clever or cruel?

My husband and i were talking and with social media and the internet in general being a terrifying dumpster fire, we are trying to figure out the best way to keep our son safe while still teaching him how to safely be online and moderation.

We landed on the idea of giving him the 90's kid treatment. A computer in the living room for us to keep an eye on what hes doing online, and once we feel hes mature enough to hang with friends without adult supervision he gets a flip phone. When we feel he is responsible enough and he earns and saves up the money for the physical phone, case, and screen cover, then we will be happy to take him to get a smart phone.

I thought this was air tight, but now my brother says its cruel to give a kid a flip phone, and besides he can just use his friends phones at school.

My husband and i remember a time before the internet, and we remember having complete access to something no one understood yet. We saw unspeakable things and are always battling with the urge to put the phone and social media down. I dont want that for my son, especially with his brain so vulnerable still.

If your partners parent passes away

And you and that parent didn't get along are you still go to the funeral?

Not my situation!

Partner no longer wants baby #2

Before our son was born we originally both wanted minimum 2 kids but we were hoping for 3-4. My partner found the birth traumatic to watch and also struggled a lot with the newborn/baby stage. He no longer wants to have any more children and it’s completely breaking my heart. I need another baby. We’ve spoken about it a lot and the options. He said he wasn’t COMPLETELY closed off to it so I asked him to try and work through his feelings and reconsider his decision. He eventually said he definitely doesn’t want another. I know that I will always want one and my feelings will never change. Do we have to break up or does anyone know anything else I can do to help change his mind? Has anyone else’s partner said this and then changed their mind? I don’t want to break up because I adore him and our life together and I’d hate to split up our family for “selfish” reasons and make my son miss out on having both of us together but I just don’t know what to do

Nursery funding

My child turned 9 months last week. I applied for government funded hours nearly 2 months ago and so well within the required timeframe for the April term, however upon receiving my first invoice without the funding applied and having questioned this, I have now been informed that the stretched funding doesn’t start until 4th May.

Has anyone else been told it won’t start until May?

The government site states it should start from April 1st, and so I intentionally set my nursery start and return to work as the start of April for that reason, knowing that I wouldn’t be able to afford the nursery on my sole income without the funding

Jealous of my husband

I’m so jealous of him and it’s making me resentful. We have a ten week old and I’m jealous that he is at work all day. I’m jealous he can leave for lunch and actually eat an uninterrupted lunch. Take a phone call uninterrupted. Chat with a friend he runs in to uninterrupted. Even go to the bathroom when he wants uninterrupted. He comes home from work when he wants. He’s not on a set schedule. Some days are late some are early. It depends on when he’s done. I’m jealous he can come home at 10pm and shower, eat and go right to bed uninterrupted because I already have the baby asleep. He doesn’t have to worry about anything house wise or baby wise because I’ve done it all. Meanwhile I’m covered in puke and crap and smell like rotten milk. When he is home he is VERY active and helpful. So it’s not that. I’m just jealous his world hasn’t changed and mine has I guess. This isn’t something he’s doing wrong so I’m not sure how to get past this. I wish I could keep him home all day because that’s how helpful he is, but I understand he obv needs to work.
