Where’s the best place to get to get baby items from in Manchester? Rather than Mamas and Papas, mother care etc I was wondering if there’s any outlets

Which area of Manchester area are you and is it your first baby?x

A new baby shop has just opened on Monton High Street, it’s called Newbie & Me. I went to The Baby Store in Warrington and also Winstanleys Pram World in Wigan

based in south Manchester but I’m willing to travel and yeah it is x

@Mya it depends if you're happy for second hand stuff for half the price I got most my girls stuff off local waste savers pages or like carboots and charity places kinda thing, vinted I swear by for baby stuff I'd never buy new again xx

thank you xx

Amaaazing huge charity shop in Walkden, it’s baby items only you can literally get everything you need for a fraction of the price. It’s next to Nando’s xx

Does anyone know of any outlets? I don't want to buy second hand

Facebook marketplace, Amazon, charity shops for clothing and some even have Moses baskets.
Mamas and papas have an outlet in Wakefield if you don’t mind travelling there…. Mean can always look on Google for outlets ect

Cheetham hill Tesco car park there is a baby shop near the car park opposite Costa

The mamas and papas outlet is in Huddersfield and they have loads of ex display/cancelled orders etc, but if that’s too far to travel they have a Facebook page you can join and you can message them if there are any specific items you want to ask if they have it in and the price. Some things are in store only but a lot of the things they can deliver x

Lullabys in Ashton is very good and they have great discounts

Thank you everyone xx

everything really but want to get the main stuff out the way like pram , crib etc

For the breastfeeding moms

What drink should I choose instead of soda? I’ve been drinking a lot of soda and sometimes water, but I want something bubbly to drink while breastfeeding. I don’t like seltzer water or flavored versions. Please help me find a drink.

thoughts…

it’s my birthday in a few weeks and i’ve just found out my partner has bought me some lingerie… a few years ago this would have been fine, except i’ve just had 3 babies in 16 months (singleton and twins) and im currently 8 weeks postpartum… i currently hate how my body looks and know i won’t want to wear anything like it.
i’ve also recently discovered he is watching porn and pleasuring himself nearly every day… this isn’t something i would normally mind, but i think the frequency he is doing it makes me feel “icky”. it feels like he’s bought me the underwear to make me more appealing to him, without thinking about whether it would be something i’d want.

am i just being overly sensitive..?

Sleeping bags

My newborn hates a swaddle of the love to dream swaddle. So was thinking of a sleeping bag.

What tog do you have your baby in that is always a warm baby, rarely cold?
My girl runs hot all the time and normally has a thin blanket on but she is constantly moving so it gets kicked off

Don't know what to do

Hey im a first time mom to my baby girl. she is 20 days old and last night was up most the night. I've had 2 hours sleep total im so tired but she won't sleep at all. She will wake up and have some of a bottle and then when I put her down after burping her she will start crying half an hour later for more. She's on 6 ounces of hungry baby formula. Im just not sure why this is happening. Could it be sleep regression?

Breastfeeding past 12 months

Guys im getting irritated. Ive been ebf now 8 months and my mum keeps saying in diff ways that “oh ur mummys gonna wean you off the breast soon” when shes 12 months.

And today shes telling me you cant breastfeed past 12 months.

And when i said i am going to and want to reach at least 2 years. Shes not saying “oh so u wanna breastfeed till 5”

Like what?

And then she’s saying because i still have baby weight i should go on manjaro. But obvs cant do that while breastfeeding.

So cant you still loose weight while breastfeeding past 12 months through diet and exercise?

Is anyone else’s family saying this about breastfeeding past 12 months? My mums just making me feel like im doing something wrong.

Is it not normal? I feel just annoyed because this is my baby and if im good with still breastfeeding her and if she still wants to breastfeed why should i stop.

How does breastfeeding past 12 months look like ?

Thank you! My rants over💗💗

Dummy removal cold turkey at 8m

My LO (8 months) wakes constantly, hourly sometimes because she needs the dummy. I wouldn’t even mind if I had to just reinsert it. But if it falls out she wakes and will escalate until I hold her. Depends on it strongly to fall asleep. Even holding her I need to give her the dummy. Takes ages to get her back in cot. This is all night. I’m so sleep deprived and can’t function. I’m considering removing cold turkey. Any advice ??? Is this the right thing to do
