Nappy pants

My little girl is 1 tomorrow and we're still using normal nappies. Is it worth moving to nappy pants even though we're hoping to potty train this summer?

Wouldn’t they help as you can pull them up and down like pull ups?

@Charlotte when we're potty training we'll be moving to potty training pants. I'm just trying to work out if it's worth making the change or not

I see. Sorry I didn’t realise there were much difference as they still pull up and down. First time mum so excuse the lack of knowledge on this.

I personally love nappy pants. And even if you buy one pack they’ll be used by the summer.

I use cloth nappies that don’t pull up and down, I’m on my third baby and it’s never been a huge issue. I eventually take the nappy off standing and then put a clean one on lying down.

I potty train around 1-1.5 so it’s not like I have to lie a big kid on a small public table.

We don’t use training pants to rain btw, lots of bum out time till they get it then no underwear and loose bottoms and then normal underwear or training pants if accidents would be really inconvenient (funeral, other people’s homes with carpet, winter snow suits!!!)

@Kierrah thank you. I've done my research of potty training and know to keep nappies off when training this is more the days following just incase there's an accident. Training pants hold wee better than normal pants too but still leave the wet feeling so they're mildly uncomfortable if they have an accident

@Charlotte FTM too. I just like to know the facts before making a decision and if I'm potty training soon I'm trying to work out if it's worth the hassle of hunting down nappy pants in her size

When potty training its important for baby to feel they are wet so nappies dont really help. Commit to it and stick to it dont confuse them using some nappies some not. Main reason for pants is due to them getting more movement.

I would keep normal nappies at night and use pants in the day. When you actually potty train use real pants so they can feel they wee

What size is she? Pampers and Tesco’s do nappy pants.

this is interesting and clarifies my ‘what’s the difference’ question. Super helpful.

no problem my eldest was a nightmare. As family used to out him in pull ups when we went out. It was causing confusion for him and he was quite slow to train I had to put my foot down about it and he got better. Hes nearly 4 and still wears them at night as its hormonal and he can't hold it overnight yet but in the day hes totally dry and has been since he was 2.5. We started training him at 20 months

Nappies are designed to pull the moisture away so they dont feel like there's any discomfort or anything. Part of training is they need to feel that.

@Charlotte we usually aim for aldi, she reacts to other nappies. She's in 5+ at the moment but her waist is finally catching to the size of her bum 😅

Just to clarify. Potty training pants are normal pants but have a small absorption but in them so they don't get sores or overly stressed from being wet. They are not nappies in anyway. I will use then after we're comfortable with the potty just as extra cover as we are out LOADS and there's always an odd day where you don't quite catch the loo when you need it

I flipping love pull ups. My biy will only tolerate a standing change and they make it sooooo easy. You just have to rip the sides to get them off if there's poo!

can you tell me more about potty training at 1-1.5 . I thought this was too early .

Is this normal

Let’s say you’re at a softplay with your 2 year old, and some friends & their toddlers.
You buy your 2 year old a kids meal - chicken nuggets, beans, and chips. They’re very happy with it and have almost eaten it all.
They’re sat at the table, fork in hand, consistently eating, and have one chicken nugget left.
Your adult friend comes over from behind you, picks up the last chicken nugget, and eats it.
There was no indication that your child wasn’t going to eat it, and they didn’t ask. They just took it with no warning and ate it right in front of you and your toddler.
How you reacting?

Are these men ok?

I get so sad seeing all the posts on here daily about women dealing with partners who are treating them horribly. I know it seems over represented because those of us with great partners don’t need to write posts asking for help, but I really hope most of us don’t have these kinds of men in our lives!

I tell my husband about these posts I see sometimes and he’s even shocked by some of the things these guys say/do.

Nobody’s perfect, and every relationship takes work. And becoming parents is a stress test unlike any other for sure, but seeing how many women get stuck in these relationships with men who aren’t interested in being better is so so sad😞

But is/was your partner helpful, loving, and supportive during your pregnancy/PP/etc? Was he a wonderful person but changed for the worst after becoming a parent? Has he put effort into becoming the partner you need him to be, even if he struggles?

Car issues

Idk if I’m in the wrong. I have a full time job. My husband takes care of the kids while I worked. Today was the day I was supposed to get us a car. But I couldn’t cause of the down payment. So now he’s texting me saying I’m wasting his day to be alone at Walmart so he can spend his tax return. I really want to say go ahead. Leave. Leave the kids and me alone. While you go out and spend money. While your at go ahead and buy urself your drugs and a bitch to go fuck.

Lucky I’m even thinking about him about the car situation if not I would’ve been buying me and the kids a car small enough for us!

Nursery lunches?

My daughter is nearly 10 months old and starting nursery next month. I want to send my daughter in with lunches so I know shes eating healthy meals but I'm honestly so lost as to what to put in her little bento lunch box that will keep till lunch time and doesnt need reheating. Ive been doing loads of baby led weaning at home, but I tend to make it fresh or pull stuff from the freezer I've previously made and defrost and reheat.
Could you show me some of the lunches you've been giving your baby? Or have you been been letting the nursery deal with the food?
