I’m confused about nappy binning/waste

First time mum, baby due in 2 weeks and i have no idea about nappy waste 😂 do you recommend a nappy bin? One upstairs one downstairs? Do i have to empty the nappy bin everyday? Can i put them in the normal kitchen bin? do they need taking out to outdoor bin every time/once a day/or what? Please help lol

I have a nappy bin in the nursery and I just empty it when it's full (once a week maybe) if I change baby downstairs I put it in a scented nappy bag and throw in normal kitchen bin.

We put ours into nappy sacks then into our regular bin in our kitchen. We change that bin everyday. We live in a flat so it made sense for us instead of buying a whole separate bin. It’s totally up to you and how convienent you want everything to be.

We have a nappy bin in the living room because that’s where we spend most of our time and then bring the nappies down in the morning from the night. We haven’t empty ours every 3 days I think

I have an xl tommee tippee in out room and i empty it weekly as its full then, you can get the small one free as amazon gift registry gift which i have by changing table which i hardly use but id imagine if used all the time itd need changing daily. They would need taking out daily if using a normal bin (or atleast thats what the norm seems to be for smell and hygiene reasons and what ive done when we ran out of refills once)

I chose to make life as convenient as possible for myself as no one needs extra tasks with a newborn so as Charlie says it really just depends on how convenient you want everything 🤣

i will say tying off those nappy bags gets repetitive real real quick i worked out when we had to chart it i changed 18 nappies in a day one day in those first two weeks 🤣 I’m yet to get pissed off or tired of with the twist n click so thats a bonus!

Vanilla extract

Has anyone used alcohol free vanilla in their babies formal to help them drink?
I’m 100% sure my baby refuses her bottles as she doesn’t like the taste of it!

Just anxious to try it, don’t want her to get used to it and then refuse bottles again after two weeks of using (correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve read you use it for 2 weeks max)

TIA 🙂

When did you circumcise your baby?
If you DID NOT or DO NOT have a circumcised son DO NOT comment this post is not for you!

Did you wait a certain amount of time or have it done immediately?
Again respectfully, this is only for the parents who choose to do so.
opinions about how not necessary it is will not be appropriate for this post. Thank you in advance. 🩵

Car seat crying

My 6 month old PANICS the second I put him in a car seat and screams, cries, chokes and recently even projectile vomited on a 14 minute drive. It’s gotten to the point I don’t even bring him out unless it’s to a doctors appointment. I’m a stay at home mom with no family in my state and it has been very isolating. We’ve tried 3 different car seats with no improvement. Has anyone had a baby who hated the car seat? Any advice? This started at 3 months. I will add it does seem worse when he’s tired. He does cry on every trip though. He only contact naps and co sleeps so he reaches for me and will not sleep in the car seat.

Sex post C section

Hi ladies I’m 4 weeks 5 days postpartum and I had a C section. I’m not bleeding properly anymore just some brownish discharge stuff that starts on and off. I’d like to do the deed with my partner; is it okay to do so or shall I wait the full 6 weeks. I feel up for it but also worried because the advice is 6-8 weeks.

Postpartum

I’m only 3 days postpartum (FTM) and already have extremely bad anxiety. I’m crying every night, as I think of another night of no sleep. My baby will not settle in his cot, he cries every moment we put him down unless in his chair rocker. So me and my partner are having to alternate after 3/4 hours of being awake with him downstairs. I’m trying everything to get him to settle. It’s a load of overwhelming stress. I’m 23, I was desperate for a baby and now I have one and feel completely useless. I miss it just being me and my partner.
