Aldi mamia nappy vs Tesco Fred and flo

Any whose used both the above can you comment on whether which you have found better ? I’m currently using mamia size 2 for my 6 week old but every time she does a no 2 it leaks out of the sides or goes up top. Not sure if I’m on the wrong size or what I’m doing wrong ?

I actually love both, my only issue with the Mamia size 2s are the red ones! My baby is 8 weeks old and 10 pounds 11 for reference. I only find the poo goes forwards (if you get me) when she is in her carrier and it’s almost pushed forwards but other times both nappies have been great

Aldi by far but I sized up and the leaking stopped! I do have a little boy not a girl though x

If I don’t change her the second she poos it will most likely come out 😩 not sure what to do - will grab a size up tomorrow and keep an eye to see if the red or black ones make a diff

I haven’t used the Aldi nappies, but we use Tesco Fred and flo and they’re really good, we’ve only had a leak on the odd occasion!

If you are close to a Sainsbury’s, their newborn nappies were the best for no leaks I found. I tried so many! x

I liked Aldi nappies until they went to size 3 then they were rubbish IMO. We changed to the Tesco nappies and they were ok but still had leaks. We moved on to pampers when my son was size 3. He’s now on a size 6 and we’ve never had a leak since changing. They are a bit more expensive but worth it for this reason. The jumbo packs are almost always on offer too x

I agree with Sainsbury’s for poos. We do use Aldi as well but get more leaks

I do think Aldi nappies come up small, I compared just the normal Aldi ones in size 3 vs Pampers size 2 and they are pretty much the same size.

I liked Tesco & Morrisons ones when we were in size 1s but we are making our way through lots of gifted nappies now which is a mixture of pampers and Aldi

Aldi is slightly smaller than Tesco. I have just started using Lidl and that seems very similar to Tesco. I didn’t like the smell of Tesco so stuck to Aldi and Lidl for now

I found Fred and Flo to be really good for preventing leaking. My little one can go the full night without being changed (unless she poos) and there’s no leakage. However, the Mamia ones leaked through night x

Ahhh thanks guys will grab a Tesco and Sainsburys pack to try out

Little ones from Sainsbury’s is affordable and good one. It holds for a long time and no rashes so far.

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?
