Our daughter has just turned 10 months and we’re also planning her 1st birthday! we are getting her a musical instrument set as she loves them at her baby group, some play food / cups etc as again she loves these at a baby group and likes to pretend to eat them or feed them to us!, a wooden car ramp thing, a wooden name puzzle and her first tricycle!

From family we have suggested bath toys, a rocker, word/picture speaking cards, books, and her Nanny is getting her a keepsake music box as she was given one for her first birthday and wanted to carry on the tradition 🫶🏼

awe!! My boy doesn’t seem to like any toys in particular. He doesn’t really have favorites. He does love outside play and just being active so we plan to get him some climbing blocks and a water play table for spring but idk what to add to a list for family to get him.

maybe a swing or little slide for the garden?
A mud kitchen if he loves getting messy in the garden and being outdoors!
A ball
Plastic rocker as they can be used indoors and outdoors
Tricycle is a good one for playing outside too 🥰
Kids little gardening set…

Hope that helps for some ideas! 🥰

that’s so cute! But I think a bit too pricy to ask for from family:(

Some of those climbing foam blocks that also make a couch, kind of expensive but I hear kids love them. I'm planning on doing that for my son's 1st bday

ooh I love these! We got those Montessori toys for Christmas. We plan on getting a play kitchen next Christmas and the standing tower for his second birthday as we are remodeling the kitchen this year so won’t be used yet. I definitely added a water table and a little chair (it was just too cute lol). Thank you!!

yes the chair is ridiculously cute 😂 you’re welcome!! Happy almost birthday to your little one 🥰 my girl is 1 on February 3rd!

Family and friends chipped in for a pikler triangle set w slide and a 14foot trampoline for his 1st bday.

Reduced Movements

Has anyone else gone in for monitoring for reduced movements and as soon as you arrive at triage the baby starts moving and the CTG is normal? It makes me feel like I am over reacting.

2nd pregnancy after c section

I’m not planning on getting pregnant anytime soon but in the future possibly. I just wanted to know how is pregnancy after c section like my fear is having to go through another emergency operation or even putting strain on my incision during pregnancy

Pregnancy after c section

What time scale did everyone get pregnant again after a c section?
I know the doc said they recommend eating at least a year to 18 months but it took 4 years to get pregnant the first time after being told we could not conceive naturally so not wanting to stop it happening knowing it could take a very long time again but also worried.

Newborn stage

Is anyone tired of doing the same thing everyday and being on a 2-3 hour schedule? It’s the same everyday and I feel like I’m losing my mind. It’s making me depressed even if I get out once a day. When does it get better? I feel like I’m just waiting for the next stage where it’s not just sitting around all day.

Labour

Think im a bit confused really, i went into traige as was having contractions eveey 3-5mins. Since being here im now having them every 2-3mins which was confirmed with the machine and i think the toco was 90-100 and they feel painful and my lower back is in loads of pain but apparently im only just over 2cm dilated maybe, she has said i can stay here for a bit longer to see if things progress as had a previous quick birth as well but i dont understand why the pains are coming this quick if im only 2cm dilated and feel a bit deflated from it also.

I had a sweep this morning also.

Hospital bag (UK)

What did everyone pack for their section? I'm staying in for 3 days due to mental health, not really sure what I'll need to bring, feeling very nervous. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!
