I don’t like driving with my son too cos he does same thing but what I’ve realised is if my husband is sat at the back with him he’s fine . It’s only because he’s got attachment issues at the minute xx

Is it still comfortable for your baby? Is it big enough? In my case, my 9 month old was uncomfortable on an infant car seat. We changed it and she is now so happy in her chair. We took a trip this week for the first time and she was fine. We stopped every two hours so that she could stretch a bit. before it was the same as you, 5 mins and she was screaming

Mine would cry so much in her infant car seat (the ones you can take with you everywhere and attach to a stroller). She hated it so much and it was brutal going out anywhere. I decided to transition her to a convertible car seat (the ones you can’t take out with you) and our crying issues predominantly stopped. I think she’s just more comfortable in the roomier seat while still being safe for her.

When I drive I put my little girl on the front seat with the airbag off.

She’s absolutely fine, but if I put her in the back on her own she’s absolutely beside herself.

It’s so hard! I’m hoping she’s going to grow out of it! X

Thank u so much for advice. But even if we sit in the back he just wants us leans forwards wants us to hold him. Any advice on what car seats to look to buy please xx

Have you got a mirror? My baby can now see me through the mirror which helps. We are still using her Infant car seat and she’s just started crying when she’s first put in it, for Christmas I’ve got her the joie 360 seat and she’s was buzzing when I tested her in it🤣x

We’ve got everything. Mirror hanging toys. iPad attached nothing is working. And I’m dreading going out. I don’t want to go out or anything. It’s depressing me really bad.

I think I’ll have to start doing this with my son too cos. He screams his head off

it’s much better. They’re safe in the front and they can hold your hand. I’m lucky and have a big SUV so I feel safer too. But I just couldn’t concentrate with her being so upset.
Nothing else worked. X

Leaky nappy advice

We use mamia nappies and have had no issue until now. We are using size 3 but she is leaking through them every night as she sleeps through the night. We’ve tried 4+ for night but they are still too big. Does anyone have any advice or any other brand that might hold more in a size 3?

Ms Rachel ??

How many of you are putting ms Rachel on??? I’ve just introduced it to my 8 month old and it’s like sorcery. I feel so guilty putting it on because LO don’t take his eyes off the screen, but it’s the only way I’m getting 20/30 minutes during Velcro baby stage. I’ll put it on twice a day for up to 30 mins at a time, the rest of the time we’re out the house, playing with toys or he’s with me doing jobs around the house. Should I even feel guilty?😩

Circumcision question

So my son got circumcised before leaving the hospital he’s 3 days old and they told me the day after leaving to take it off which is today and just add a lot of Vaseline to the area to help it and when we took him to his pediatrician he told us to just keep adding Vaseline on top of the gauze and it’ll fall off on its own but now I’m worried that it’ll get stuck to his skin if it sits to long. What do you feel I should do

Thoughts on this pram?

I’m 18 weeks pregnant and thinking of prams to get my baby. I saw this on Amazon and it seems affordable, plus the reviews are very positive about the quality of the product. Are there any mamas in the group that got this specific model? If so, how did you find it?

Toddler tippy toeing

My daughter is two been tippy toeing ever since shes learned how to walk. Not sure if it’s a phase or if it’s autism. If it helps shes also a really active baby. Has anyone experienced this with their toddler?

TBH

To be honest- I’m starting to hate that my husband gets to sleep peacefully , getting virtually uninterrupted sleep, while I’m being woken up every other moment by our 5 month old 🙃 I’m so so tired, my body hurts, and I have a little cold that won’t go away. My baby sleeps next to me and feeds on demand (it’s my fault, I know). I tried to regulate him without the boob, tonight, and he started crying. My husband tried to soothe him for less than a minute, but I took him back when I saw my husband was getting irritated by him crying. I ended up feeding him until he was mostly asleep, now he’s sleeping on my chest. I’m awake, I have to use the bathroom, and forgot to take my contacts out, and put nursing pads in, but I’m stuck. Meanwhile, my husband went back to sleep immediately 😮‍💨😤 how do people do this long term? 😩
