What age did you stop using a high chair?

My little boy is 3 and we have the ikea highchair. Just wondering when we should stop using this? And if so what should we then use instead as he would be too short to reach the table on our dining chairs

We stopped using the highchair at 18 months and got my son a toddler table and chair off marketplace. He sits there to eat, draw and play and allows him the freedom to get up and down when he wants. Obviously your little man is happy in his highchair! Mine just kicked off all of a sudden and hated it so that's why we moved him!

Same as above for my daughter.

We purchased an ikea table and chairs for toddler. Believe it was around £25-30. My son began by using it as his craft and play table, then it was snacks for snack time.eventually he began using it for his meals also. This was when he was around 2.5 years old. Now it's in constant use by him, if he doesn't sit there (for any reason) he gets grumpy.
Previously we had a wooden table and chair set that was also a high chair. We always gave him the option of the table portion or high chair portion. We got this from Facebook marketplace (expensive if bought brand new for us). This especially helped as it still had the straps to keep him in place during meals when he wanted the table portion of it so he wouldn't keep running off to play from a few bites of meal

We stop around 15 months, my daughter wanted to sit on tables with us and we got her a toddler chair and table

Dummies🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

Has anyone got any tips on how to GET RID of dummies😂🤦🏼‍♀️ my little girl is obsessed and i have no idea where to start!!

Help! First time mum -

I have a 4 month old and now all of a sudden when he’s been asleep for 1hr30/2hrs he will wake up screaming (high pitched) I’ve tried winding him sometimes that helps, I’ve tried bicycle legs & bringing his knees up but that doesn’t seem to help but he brings his knees up himself sometimes but nothing happens. I’ve noticed since the 4 month mark he has started to struggle passing wind downwards! Any tips?

Breastfeeding

Does it ever feel better? The actual feeding part of it is going really well and baby boy is growing so well. I’m struggling with how my boobs feel day to day - it’s really getting me down most days. The let downs make me feel awful and sounds silly but, I am also really missing not wearing a bra! 9 weeks postpartum and still getting fairly engorged, even with comfort pumping.

Any advice or just shared stories would help. I’m so torn between carrying on because I enjoy the feeding side of it or switching to formula.

Big nursing bras!

I’m looking for recommendations for good nursing bras for bigger breasted ladies!

I’m currently in a 38H which seems to be the biggest size done at M&S (UK based mama here) and it’s snug and not as supportive as I’d like. When I look online, they mainly seem to be sized S, M, L, XL etc rather than bra sizes.

Any recommendations please?

Bath Time

Help! My baby is 3 and a half weeks old. Every bath she goes in quite happy but will only stay like this for a very few mins, if I try to clean her or move her we have tears and after a few mins the same. It's like she is scared. Our current baby bath is quite big should I try a different one? Looking for any suggestions as want her to enjoy bath time not be upset and I'm scared I'm going to make her hate it😢💗

Strange question

Hello. I would identify myself as asexual but yes i am married and i have a child. But now that ive had my baby. I think its solidified that im done having sex. I feel bad as my partner keeps asking me but i just dont want to. Any advice on what i can do? Any other asexual moms out there? I guess this could be confusing but im not huge on being bound by a label. I have just always felt it represented me best since highschool.
