I wanna preface this by saying I don’t want to come across like I’m not grateful for all the help I get from family, as this is my first pregnancy and I definitely could use the guidance. HOWEVER! There are some things that are just better safe than sorry.
*story*
My grandma ever since she found out I’m pregnant, had been buying baby stuff off of FB Marketplace. Awesome! I love getting things on a deal, and I am not a picky person. Recently she found a Doona brand stroller for $50 + some baby clothes for $20.. so $70 altogether. I check the stroller out, everything works on it. I thought how cool to get one for cheap!
When I told one of my expecting friends, she asked about the expiration date. I had no idea there was one for car seats? So I asked my grandma to check it out for me just for reassurance that it was still valid to use.
Grandma calls me LAUGHING at me, saying “we aren’t talking about food here! What’s gonna expire on it?” And I explained that it’s a safety feature because the locks, seatbelts, etc. can expire. She laughed me off once again saying “I’ve never heard of such a thing!” So I told her I will check next time I visit, and sent her screenshots that car seats do in fact expire.

Am I wrong for being a little frustrated? I love my grandma to death, but some things I feel like I get undermined for because she’s never done it or heard about it.

Does anybody know if a hospital will let you bring a baby home in an expired car seat? (Idk if it is or not, just rather be safe than sorry)

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too

My little one is struggling with sleep

Hey! I'm in need of some advice please girls! My little boy is 20 months turns 21 months in 2 half weeks. He use to sleep through the night now he is waking up every single night in the early morning, I've had to transition him to a toodler bed as he kept climbing out his cot. Just need some advice on what I can do to help him get back in to a sleep pattern?

6 month old autistism

My 6 month old makes no eye contact with me and doesn’t respond when I call him. Can this just be a phase or personality trait as apposed to autism

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?

New born

Finally had my baby girl via C-section on the 18th, everything has been so far. But I’ve noticed she’s very fussy and cries a lot. I’ve been trying to exclusively breastfeed. The lactation consultant at the hospital said I did look like I’m making enough milk for her. She was latching on good at the hospital and now here at home, she doesn’t seem to want to latch at all. She’s been crying a lot and very fussy. I’m just wondering is she’s colic or like maybe she just doesn’t want the breast anymore?

5.30am wakeups 😫😴

My 15 week old has started waking up about 5.30am and is really hard to settle back down - it’s like he thinks it’s time to wake up for the day. He used to go to bed at 9pm and was up at 8am but now he goes to bed between 7.30-8pm as he’s knackered by then but waking up at 5.30am😴. Any advice to get him to sleep a little longer in the morning?! Even an extra hour would be lovely 🤣
