How old are they? Are they old enough for any newborn inlay to be removed as this can get uncomfortable as they get bigger.

Is the car seat an adjustable one (eg ours reclines, but when it's too far back it touches the seat in front and the vibrations are unpleasant for LO!)

@Cass yes for a while I had to sing the welcome song from our baby sensory class 😅 now I can sing any nursery rhyme if she starts getting irritable lol lucky me

Thank you Sophie, she is 10weeks, guess it’s time to remove the newborn inlay.

Thanks cass, we try singing rhymes and also played white noise but none worked.

Almost certainly not time to remove the newborn insert at 10 weeks old. Have a look at car safety Facebook groups. Lots will over fit checks if you supply a photo.
It's likely to be a phase. Mine hated the car stopping for the first while, then the car in general and required lots of singing and playing the happy song on loop, now he doesn't mind short trips

It’s definitely a phase, as a newborn they fall asleep anywhere and everywhere, then they start to become more aware, but it’ll get easier (my boy is 7m and still cries sometimes) but it’s easier when you can give him toys, or he’ll have his dummy or I’ll sing to him and he’ll stop - look up the Einstein fish tank toy you can strap it to the headrest and my boy just watches the fish moving and looks at the lights!

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

Am I wrong?

I’ve been wanting to add more garden beds to my garden. Husband says “hey do you want to go to Home Depot to get that wood for the garden beds.” Cool I’m excited I’ve been wanting to get this done for awhile.

We get there and we’re picking out wood and I make 2 comments about how I don’t like how 2 pieces of wood look that he picked out. And he says if you’re going to be this picky then u can do this yourself.

I literally made 2 comments and mind you I’m the one paying for the wood.

I felt dismissed and like my opinion didn’t matter and if I wanted to have an opinion then I need to do it myself. Like what?

It was rude and not okay. Am I wrong? Am I overreacting?

He thinks it was fine that he said that.

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

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 🤣
