Nappy brands

Looking for recommendations on nappy brands. My son has always been in Fred and flo without any issues however lately he keeps leaking. We went up half a size thinking this would be better as it also seemed a little snug on his bum but still leaking. The next size up would be wayyy too big so looking for other brands to try that people recommend. He currently wears 6+ nappy pants (has been in nappy pants for months now due to him being such a fidget bum 😂)

Sainsburys ! X

Cloth

I’m currently looking the same. I tried lidls and they were awful. I’ve been really using Aldi and Asda but finding she has been leaking with aldis. I don’t put pants on her as I find they also leak a lot. Out of all of them I think Asda’s have been the best but only the actual nappies not the pants

I swear by Sainsbury’s!

Boots baby are great

Use booster pads then?

what are booster pads? Never heard of them before x

I was thinking this but tried bigger vest or no vest and still the same 🤦🏼‍♀️

I ordered ones from Kit and Kin by mistake 😂 that’s how I found out. You can put them in the nappy to increase nappy’s absorption.

oh wow never knew that. We bought some Sainsbury’s ones last night so going to give those a go. Was looking at kit and kin ones online a while ago though x

I use Amazon Mama brand, considerably cheaper and I’m just impressed at how it kept my babies bums dry. No rash, rarely, if there are it’s usually our fault for letting them sit in it for too long. Never have any issues since birth. I have 2 under 3.

I swear by Amazon wipes but never thought to use there nappies. Will see how we get on with the Sainsbury’s ones and will give them a go if no luck with the Sainsbury’s brand x

Sainsburys nappy pants during the day and Pampers baby dry taped nappies at night. I know Pampers are expensive but I swear by them at night as we don't get any leaks in them.

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?
