Shein clothes for toddler?

I’ve recently done a shop for myself on Shein and considered getting my toddler a few clothing bits. However, I’m feeling a bit uneasy due to people saying there is chemicals you can’t wash out etc.
I know it’s silly because in theory, she’s already touching my clothes.. just wanted to see other people’s opinion really🫠

Oh wow I’ve never heard about the chemicals in the clothes. Could you provide more info?…. I’ve ordered so many clothes from Shein including baby clothes.

I remember seeing an article on it, I didn’t take much notice but it’s only just really registered that this is an actual problem! I had no idea xx

Everything has chemicals in it even the food we eat if you tried to stay away from all chemicals like that we would all be naked starving and homeless‼️😭

Regardless of the plastics I find Shien too hit and miss. The fabrics too stiff, rigid and uncomfortable or smaller than advertised.

glad someone mentioned it! Nothing is safe for us even If it says it is im convinced it’s not and they’re just lying. We’d go crazy trying to figure out what’s truly safe for us and our kids

Get bundles on vinted! You can get loads of items for a fiver and they’ll be good for if she’s growing fast xx

Avatar

Yes! I got my kids some cute stuff, even for myself too

But everything has chemicals though, even the laundry detergent you use that’s a chemical

My daughters entire clothing is SHEIN that’s the only place I will buy her cloths it’s great quality it’s cheap and super cute. You can message me personally and I can show you some stuff I have recently bought

Avatar

So personally I wouldnt buy, yes there is chimical everywhere around us but the levels found in product from shein temu were significantly higher, we talk about carcinogens chimicals sometimes found 229 times over the European limit! That is crazy anyway shein should now be following more strict rules as it is sold on a huge scale in Europe

Since they’re a fast fashion company they’re bad for the environment, workers, and consumers so it’s better to not support them at all probably 😅

Avatar

I have branded clothing and items with hazardous materials in them 😐 it's impossible to avoid toxins these days! Iean what are you gonna do about the weather if you decided to cover yourself in leaves and branches and drink from the head stream?
I hate it but can't avoid it. I just do my best not to add up to the misery😅

Avatar

Btw google Indonesian clothing the material is good and the price is affordable. I've recently purchased some and I'm happy with them

Avatar

I think we ignore things we can’t see, but we really shouldn’t. It’s important to have clothes without harmful chemicals in them. But also fast fashion appeals to many of us because it’s cheaper than the alternative. The clothes are really cute too lol. But it’s to your discretion. I don’t order from there and really try to only put my daughter in clothes that is not fast fashion

Avatar

The quality sucks, they basically use slave labor and it’s one of the worst brands for the environment. I’d look elsewhere

Avatar

I would personally never put clothes from shein on my baby. I buy stuff for myself but not baby

You absolutely can avoid chemicals in children’s clothes. By rule I always question how it is possible something could be made for that price. There are so many options for all budgets that have far higher testing regulations .

I think Motherhood has made me more bitter than I realized…

This is such a ramble but I don’t know where else to put it all.

I’m four months in and I don’t really have hobbies right now. I don’t do anything for myself except maybe doomscrolling or listening to a podcast while I breastfeed my baby. I used to craft and have game nights with friends. Activities that usually are at least 2 hour stretches. Now if I have an hour free my mind immediately goes to baby, or doing something in the house for baby.

And I thought I didn’t mind. Like I knew postpartum could be very mentally consuming. But I think it’s altering how I view people around me and it’s prodding at my relationship with my husband.

He spends most of his time making food for us, looking after our dogs, playing with the baby, ect. But he still has time for his hobby. Spends maybe an hour a night on it. Even adapted to using a bot for shopping for his hobby after a certain incident where we had to have a heart to heart after he left me home alone with the baby for hours during a busy workday (I work from home) to shop for his hobby.

And yet there’s like this little green eyed monster in me that rages every time I know he’s running off to start up the bot. Even though I’m the reason he does it this way.

We took a family trip last weekend to see his best friend and their kids and let them meet the baby. He brought the laptop. He’s always brought a laptop on trips and it’s never been a problem to me before. But one night we both woke up while the baby was still asleep, and he wandered out of the room. I tried to fall back asleep but couldn’t. So I went to the kitchen to try having something warm to drink to settle me. And he was there at the table running the bot from his laptop. I flipped out at him. But there really wasn’t reason to. It’s not like I needed help with the baby and he was ignoring me. He wasn’t avoiding our friends. He was just awake and unable to sleep and found something to do with his time. Yet my snap reaction was “why the hell would you do this on a family trip?”

I don’t know what it is. Maybe it’s the less complete sleep from baby’s middle of the night feed? My brain being just consumed by baby? Maybe I’m not as over that shopping incident as I thought? But I’m just so annoyed at his hobby right now. The green eyed monster thinks “you could be using that time differently” but realistically to do what exactly??? Stare at our baby in the dark???

I spent probably an hour apologizing to him after I snapped. And he’s of course hurt and frustrated because I said some very mean things in the moment.

I don’t want to be this jealous, angry person. But I also don’t know how to find time for myself in this right now outside of basic hygiene. It’s like I’ve forgotten how to be myself, even if just for an hour.

Maybe I need a therapist.

Do men really enjoy fellatio?

Been together more than 10 years, but it's been a while since he even seemed remotely interested in me getting on my knees, or vice versa so to speak. I think it was once last year. Must be something I am doing wrong 🤔. Generally everything else in that department is great and we have two young kids with no extra support, so it's quite surprising we can't keep our hands off each other but may need to try new things. It's basically 2 positions each time with some foreplay.

Naps

How is everyone doing for naps?

Little one is 9 months old and will have 2 half hour naps and one solid 1 hour - 2 hour nap a day

Then settles for night around 9pm. Wakes for a feed around 3:30 then sleeps until 6-7
