Cheap alternative for the Totter and tumble play mat?

Has anyone seen a playmat that you can wipe down? I like that it's got some padding and has nice patterns. It's just a bit out of my price range.
Has anyone found something similar for less?
Thanks!!

They come up second hand sometimes! Ours has been going strong for nearly four years and is perfect still so I'd definitely look at second hand options. Otherwise maybe something aimed at yoga or exercise? I imagine the markup on a cute kids item will be quite a bit where as something listed as for exercise would still tick some of your boxes!

Not sure if it’s cheaper but we have a foldimat and it is great! Wipeable and folds up small so it slides under the sofa and can be taken places like the park for picnics etc.

I got one off Amazon for around £40 which is foam and folds up which is great

I got mine off TikTok shop, it’s great quality and folds up so easy to pack away. Nice padding and wipes clean! Also because I’d never ordered from TikTok shop before I got a massive discount and free delivery! Well worth it! There are two sizes available xx https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGeaF5qFM/

I got one from toddlekind still expensive but not as expensive as totter and tumble. Its been perfect and I have had lots of lovely comments about it. My aunt even brought one even though my cousin is all grown uo rather than a rug! 😂

Just looked and they’ve gone up in price annoyingly. https://toddlekind.co.uk/collections/one-piece-foam-playmat. They do also do puzzle type ones too

Ended up going for https://www.babyandchildstore.com/shop/toys/play-mats/kinderkraft-matty%C2%B2-double-sided-foam-playmat/?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwk6SwBhDPARIsAJ59GwdnsRMTo0v-AEiJszvMtkNdv-I8SnvXlqTjk9TEzjhoO0E7HJVSbuQaAo7XEALw_wcB. We have been reading Harris the hero and this has puffins on. It was £29. Thank you for your advice and links, it was really helpful. Hopefully it's ok!

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

Combi feeding advice

Has anyone gone from EBF to combi feeding? Currently do one bottle of EBM per night and they one half formula half breast milk mixed in the day. The other times she still feeds on me. Ideally I want to feed all day via bottle and all night with breast. She’s 7 weeks and takes a bottle well, how long should I leave it before adding another bottle to her daily routine?
