High chairs from new born

Hey
Has anyone bought a multi use high chair that adapts from new born to toddler? We’ve seen a couple but the prices vary hugely and just wanting some opinions from those who have them. We miss eating at the table and would love to get something suitable for our 2 month old to safely sit in that’s table height so he isn’t in the bouncer in the floor, but then adapts to be a high chair for when he starts weaning and beyond
Thank you.

We have the Joie Mimzy Recline high chair and have used in the lie flat position since our baby was 3 weeks. She loves it and lies very contently in there! I use when cooking or when we are also eating at the table. It’s around £70-£100 depending on where you buy x

We got the tuti bambini nova for our first. It's OK but I found the newborn seat a really weird angle and it was like she was dangling by her crotch 🤦‍♀️ it's also a lot heavier than I expected when deconstructed on it's bag - the modular aspect is the main reason I picked it. As a high chair it's fine, you can also take the chair off and attach it to a regular chair which we did for a while to save space or we'd take that to grandparents house for meals.
I've gone for the stokke tripp trapp for this baby (toddler still uses the tuti one). I much prefer the baby attachment on this one! When its time to wean baby though I'll swap and put toddler in the tripp trapp at the table as I refuse to spend £60 on a tray for it 😂

we had the chicco polly relax with our first. it was okay but we didnt use it loads. and ended up getting the ikea high chair when she was about 7 months as it was hard to clean and felt like the tray was a bit high for weaning xx

We have the Kaos - it is pricey but will last a long time. My LO gives us all his smiles when he is in it! It’s really handy for us too as we have a dog so we put it in him a lot when we’re doing jobs and he’s nice and high up and can watch us ☺️

We have a hauck alpha with baby seat. The seat can come off the chair and onto a bouncer frame so it's double use

We have the silver cross buffet high chair, absolutely love it and use it constantly. It’s on the pricer side but currently on sale and know we’ll use it for a long time/with our 2nd baby whenever that may be x

Second vote for silver cross buffet. It’s also a faux leather type material so imagine will be good for when the messy times begin

I’ve got the stokke trip trip! Everyone who has older kids who had one said they used it into their early teens! They are pricey but i bought mine second hand and painted it and bought the new born attachment second hand also. There is so so many chairs on Facebook and then parts in vinted etc too!

Routines?

When did you start to introduce your baby’s routine? Do they just have a night routine or full day routine? Wondering when I should start this e.g naps at the same time everyday.

Any routines you have that work for you, please let me know them with timestamps. my baby is 6 weeks and just wondering when we should start them?

Does anyone else’s baby spit up breastmilk but not formula?

I’m seriously considering seeing a lactation consultant because I don’t understand why he can’t hold down breastmilk but can formula. I use soy formula since I’ve used it with my daughter and I’m thinking it might be due to not getting milk coming in for a few days so I had no choice but to give him formula, but now even if I take breaks in between feeding him breastmilk to burp or try to mix breastmilk and formula, he spits it up sooo much. I’m ready to just give him just formula because I’m worried about him not eating enough

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.
