Lie Flat Car Seats

Me and my partner went pram shopping today, the women in the shop was talking about lie flat car seats. We’ve both never heard of this and would love peoples opinions and recommendations ☺️

Hi there, we have the maxi cosi pebble 360 pro. It has 3 seat positions and has the swivel and slide in the car seat base. We’ve loved it. I’m sad we are almost out of it tbh lol. It’s been great for when out and about and was compatible with our pram so even better.

I got the Joie lie-flat one. We’re on Raasay so it’s nearly 3h to Inverness including ferry just feel better knowing I can do it in one go if I have to go to hospital or sth (or if baby’s asleep the whole time but that’s the delusion talking lol)

We have the cybex cloud T I-size. Swivels for ease going in and out the car. It has the regular position, a recline position which you can also use in the car then a lie flat position we use if asleep in car seat in house. Clips on to egg pram. We love it have had no issues.

We have a kiddy lie flat seat (no longer made unfortunately). I really liked the lie flat feature for peace of mind for slightly longer journeys, so personally I'd definitely recommend. Still wouldn't use it on the pram mind you, but I know lots of people do.

The new BeSafe Go Beyond looks fab. It reclines in the car (as long as you use the isofix base) but then if you're in an accident it automatically goes more upright to give LO better impact protection. Also has a preemie insert available just in case it's needed, and BeSafe is an excellent car seat brand (we have a few of their bigger seats and absolutely love them). If I could justify a new seat for upcoming arrival then I'd definitely go for that one

I'm a fan. I have the joie i-level and live remotely in the highlands. I definitly felt better using it for those longer journeys.

When did you circumcise your baby?
If you DID NOT or DO NOT have a circumcised son DO NOT comment this post is not for you!

Did you wait a certain amount of time or have it done immediately?
Again respectfully, this is only for the parents who choose to do so.
opinions about how not necessary it is will not be appropriate for this post. Thank you in advance. 🩵

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?

Postpartum

I’m only 3 days postpartum (FTM) and already have extremely bad anxiety. I’m crying every night, as I think of another night of no sleep. My baby will not settle in his cot, he cries every moment we put him down unless in his chair rocker. So me and my partner are having to alternate after 3/4 hours of being awake with him downstairs. I’m trying everything to get him to settle. It’s a load of overwhelming stress. I’m 23, I was desperate for a baby and now I have one and feel completely useless. I miss it just being me and my partner.

I feel like just a milk cow

Hi I have a 16 day old via c section, I'm a FTM never having been around babies before as I am the youngest of my household and from a small family. My husband is fantastic with our little one. But ever since I've had the baby I just feel like the only thing I'm good for is producing milk. I feel disconnected from my husband like the only reason he's around is because am producing milk. We were having some issues before the baby and we're struggling it took a while to feel like he was onboard even though he said he was from the moment we found out. I dunno if I'm feeling like a spear part because I'm lacking confidence with baby or because I feel like he wouldn't mind being a single dad. Is this postpartum hormones or something else?

When does it get better?

I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....

Crawling

Did anyone’s little one start crawling yet? I feel like we are falling behind but really have no idea. I’m trying to introduce more floor time but it’s been rough because of having hardwood floors and our 80 lb oblivious to life dog. I got us a carpet for the living room and trying to put the dog out more when the weather allows. She sits like a pro and will roll to get the things she needs😅 but no real signs of crawling yet.
