What’s everyone’s experience with the Tommee Tippee Gro Egg

I’m not sure how accurate it is, it does not feel this warm in my room right now and I’m not sure how accurate it is. This suggests I need to change my baby’s sleepwear but he feels just right when I feel his chest and back

Trust your gut. If baby feels and seems fine, most likely he is!
Even if the temp went up another 1-2 degrees he wouldn’t be at risk. It’s only if it’s vastly different and he gets way too hot. Most babies like being cosy anyway imo

I was obsessed at the start with watching this light and the temp, it was unhealthy. I agree with the above comment trust your gut see what your baby needs ans how they sleep better. All those guidelines do is add more anxiety to us and what theu suggest is absolute ..... i did it for months following it the room was soo cold ...for me...let alone a newborn!

They so wrong! The lowest temperature it was showing that I was comfortable in was 22.8 (pretty sure the room was colder) I gave up on it.
The baby monitor screen was showing more accurate temp then this egg
Check babies chest and back of head so see if its too warm xx

It was definitely not accurate. I stopped using it after about a month and just used my judgement

I dont think my one is that accurate its quite often 20ish but it feels cold. I just dress her in what i think she needs x

Mine is always at 22+ which is definitely not right. So we use it as a nightlight and that’s it x

We have a thermostat in our bedroom as well as this & they are usually the same temp so ours is pretty accurate x

We had this but it definitely wasn’t accurate. It used to be about 3/4 degrees higher than what the room actually was. We have a couple of these from Amazon which we have in our bedroom and in the living room. Once he’s in his room we will have one in there too and these are pretty accurate !xx

definitely not as accurate as they make out.. we used one for the first month or so after my baby was born and it was constantly either blue or red, never seemed to be an “inbetween” even with the heating on/off etc so we stopped using it, definitely better to trust your judgement and if you’re unsure just try and feel babies skin, you’ll know if they’re too hot/cold 🥰

I don’t think it was accurate we have a hive that we can move rooms and it was never the same

We got it’s ok not the best. Got a wall on and put it above cot that helps a lot better

Definitely doesn’t work! We barely even used it. No matter how hot or cold it was in the room it only changed colour from the red to yellow I think twice, if that. Based on the comments they probably shouldn’t even sell it anymore 😂

We've had ours about 18 months now. Ours has been quite accurate and in line with what the house thought the temp was, but we do a bit of looking at that and a bit of gut instinct. Our baby camera was totally off but we think it's because its always plugged into the wall and up high looking down at the cot so we always ignore the temp on the screen as it's usually 5 degrees or more higher permanently.

I wonder the same, I've got my LB in a vest, sleepsuit and 2.5tog bag which is totally wrong according to our egg but he still woke at 4.45 as he wasn't cosy. Think tonight the 3.5tog bag will be coming out

Thanks all, I’ve always dressed him a little cosier than this suggests but as I e mentioned he seems just right when I feel his back and chest. I’m constantly hot even in winter and so I can’t really gauge how warm or cold a room is 😂

Over supply of milk

I am nearly 5weeks postpartum and I have such a big over supply of BM.
Has anyone donated / sold their supply, if so where do you recommend for this?

AITA

In the uk there is an outbreak of meningitis, in a specific area mainly. My BD has family from that area and decided to go and meet up with them, I said if he does then he cannot have contact with the kids for 7-10 days after incase he picks anything up. Am I being over dramatic? I reallyyy don’t want my young kids getting anything serious

Baby clothes

Just out of curiosity, why do parents love zipper onesies?

Don’t get me wrong, I tried zipper ones it’s easy to zip in and out when putting it on the first time and taking it out, but I find it difficult when changing diapers especially when baby is asleep.

I prefer those kimono style buttons where it’s easy to button or too down button with crotch snaps.

Is everyone thinking the same or different? Lol

This might rattle some people

Ok, this might get a bit long, and a bit bumpy, so get comfy and buckle up.

So about a week or 2 ago, there was a post on here regarding sleepovers. Not letting their child go to them as you can't trust who'll be at the house etc.

Now, given recent incidents in nurseries and schools, plus my own experience back in the 90s, I am more concerned about sending my child to nursery and later school than I am to a friend's house for a sleep over.

The other day a man was jailed for abusing children at the nursery he worked at. A woman has been arrested for sleeping with an underage boy and then getting pregnant by a different underage boy while on bail for the first offence.

Young girls and boys get sexually harassed and bullied when at school, not all of them. But more than you think. And not just by other kids, but by adults who we as parents are trusting to look after our kids.

A sleepover, is a more controlled environment, with only a handful of people coming into contact with your child. A school, a club etc there can be 100s of people coming into contact with your child.

I was targeted at 7 years old by the owner of a prominent private school. Thankfully, I wasn't SA'd. In year 5 of primary school, I started to develop early, I was harassed by the boys and teachers made remarks about how my uniform didn't fit right, always "adjusting it" around my chest and legs.

Years 7-9 of secondary school were hell. But it was all under the guise of "we're just messing around". A teacher twanging my exposed bra strap (none uniform day) is not "messing around".

Boys pinning me down trying to rip open my shirt to see my breasts.

I fear for my daughter. I hope she takes after my father's family, flat chested.

We need to educate all our children, what is acceptable behaviour. And to come to us, as their parents should ANYTHING happen.

Car seat

No idea which car seat to get next. Please hit me with your recommendations, 1year+ (preferably rear facing or 360). Thank you 🫶🏻

At this point I’m not enjoying motherhood

My 22 month old is horrendous at the moment🫣 biting, hitting, pushing, pulling and shoving not only adults but children he also wants what other children have and will just snatch it away from them.

We repeat ‘nice hands’ ‘be gentle’ ‘let’s share’ etc

But how do I make him understand what he’s doing isn’t very nice? At the end of the day I feel like I’ve just been saying his name all day and nothing else.

What can I do?
