Tula Baby Carrier (uk)

Has anyone on here had a successful purchase from Tula? I’d done some research and there were reviews on mums net and the telegraph, but since I made my order I’ve seen so many people saying it’s a scam and is now been a week and I’ve had no dispatch updates.

Yeah I have one :) actually selling it now as sadly outgrown :(

Definitely not a scam, we have one and it's been great!

The Tula carrier itself has been around for over 10 years and is brilliant, and I say that as long time baby wearer and previously a Babywearing Consultant working for a sling library with several hundred slings and carriers.

The issue could be the website you ordered it from.

There was a problem some years back with the Ergobaby website having been faked and ppl thought they were ordering direct but were receiving (very convincing!) copies.

Can you check Google reviews, Trustpilot, Which? etc for the actual web address for the shop you ordered from?

thanks for this info, I checked the email confirmation and I ordered it direct from babytula.co.uk which seems legit. I see bad reviews for babytula.com but the co.uk one seemed ok. Just got to hope there’s just a delay 🤞🏻

I hope it all works out for you 🤞

I just checked my payment details and freaked a little when it said Ergobaby UK but after reading the legal text on the Tula website they are a subsidiary of ErgoBaby so again hoping for the best!

Oh gosh, I wasn't aware of that - I'm not up to date in the carrier world these days. I really hope it's all OK and I'm sorry if I've freaked you out!

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?
