Car worries!

Can anyone with 2 little ones advise on the car you have? I have a medium hatchback and I’m worried if it would be too small!

We’ve just got a new car it’s an Audi S4 Quattro (I think) it’s basically an estate but looks pretty slick if you ask me 😂 we used to have a BMW 4 series which was a coupe! Probably the most impractical car with a toddler and newborn !

We have a VW T-Roc and it works just fine x

what car seats have you got? We’ve got a t-roc and our joie 360 makes it so cramped for the seat in front x

youngest is still in his infant carrier, the Cybex Cloud T and eldest is in the Cybex Sirona S2. The Joie 360 is a very bulky and high up seat we found, it didnt fit very well in the back, like you say. Not much room. My 6ft 1 partner sits in our passenger seat no problem with the Sirona behind him x

ahh okay thanks that’s really helpful, my partner is 6ft and has to sit in the back (if I’m driving) as he’s got no legroom 🤦🏻‍♀️

I must say the dashboard/glove compartment must be a lot lower in the t-roc because we also have a golf and he has a lot more leg room, as if the dash is higher in the golf and his legs sit underneath. We find it odd x

We got a Kia sportage just before our second came along and love it. Our car seats are fairly bulky as they’re erf seats and there’s lots of space at the front and a big boot. Can’t fault it at all.

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....

Rant/WWYD

My sister (youngest, 24) has two kids, 4 & 1, and i (oldest, 30) just have my one who’s 6mo old right now, so i ask her for advice or call her to vent about things sometimes. Well im tired of her turning around and telling my other family members that I’m “losing my sh*t.” Literally have not lost my sh*t nor have i ever freaked out to her about my baby, i just call her to talk and tell her what stage my baby is in or talk through how im feeling, but she chooses to tell people that im like a complete nutcase or something which worries me that my family is going to start being judgmental about me as a mother or looking at me funny like I’m some fragile ticking time bomb.

What would you do in this situation? I’m already pretty much decided that I’ll stop telling her anything about my struggles, but I’m almost at the point where i feel like it should be confronted because she, of all people, should understand what I’m going through.

Rapid cool/ hot shot method

Sorry if this sound stupid but how are we doing the hot shot method?
Are we boiling the kettle and letting it cool a little before adding to hot flask? Then with the cool water do you boil the kettle and leave it to cool right down before putting into another flask?
My baby brain is fried trying to work out the easiest way!

Night time routine

Heya, my 3 week old daughter is currently exclusively breastfed and I’m not pumping. Can anyone recommend the best way to share the load with my partner? At the moment I’m doing all the feeds/burbs/settling and my partner is sleeping through which obviously isn’t sustainable, I’m trying to work out the best way to get him involved. Any advice very much appreciated!
