When would you change to pull-ups?

I’m not sure what age is the right age to transition from diapers to pull-ups. My 18 month old daughter definitely is fussy when I go to change her diaper and I was wondering if maybe I should change to pull-ups to make changing time quicker and easier. Any advice?

We potty trained at 25 months and started using pull ups for naps and sleep only then. The only time you might save is with putting on fresh ones. Taking off and cleaning will be the same as diapers.

I've been using pull ups since 9months she's very active and would constantly try to crawl away making doing the tabs up near impossible, she's very good at standing so for us standing her up to put on a pull up is easier, I'd say get some and see how you find it xx

We started pull-ups when my Lo turned 12 months. Easier to get on.

Do you have any pull-ups you’d recommend using?

My 6 month old is in nappy pants / pull ups already I made the switch as soon as he started to crocodile roll during nappy changes. Nappy pants make changes so much quicker and easier. I was impressed to see Pampers did nappy pants from size 3!

I would do it once you start potty training. I actually only use them for night time when she goes to sleep. But during the day she wears underwear.

We started using Tesco’s own easy fit pants , definitely makes things easier when she’s being fussy, ch aging her quickly on the go

when they start sitting up, it’s more stretchy and comfortable on their belly

Changed to pull ups around 18 months/2 as he learned how to pull his nappy off by the tabs

I put all mine in pull ups once they started taking the nappies off lol

And I used Tesco Fred and flo! No problems with them at all and they go to size 9 x

We changed to pull-ups as soon as my little boy started standing when he was 8 months old as he would no longer lie-down to have his nappy changed.

I've been using pull-ups since my daughter was 6 months. She's 11 months now and I find it so much easier.

I switched to pull ups when he was close to 2 years old bc he was in the weight range for it and bc he was able to take his diapers off but never attempted to with pull ups

I started using them at a year. My son would always flip and not want to stay on his back during diaper changes so pull ups just make it easier. I still change his diaper once throughout the night since he wakes up 2-3 times still to nurse and then I’ll put on a normal diaper since they work better for us during nighttime but throughout the day we use pull ups

weve always found the sainsburys little ones nappies really good seem to fit her well and are a good price

Is this normal?

Is it just my husband that does this? He is able to work from home via his computer and in the mornings and evenings he is on there doing his job. When he is done for the day he tends to stay in the room and either play video games or watch something. He will occasionally come out and play with the girls for a few minutes and that’s it but when I really need him he says he is busy. My daughters are both 1 year old now and I am just wondering how much involvement should he have with them now?
Idk if this is the norm or not…..

5 month old activities

Hey everyone my baby is 5 months old and I want to reduce/cut screen time as I have read up on how bad it is what activities did people do to keep their baby entertained. Thank you in advance.

Thoughts?

your soon to be brother in law (upon inquiry) told you that only a few kids from the family were attending his wedding because they are over the age cut off..

Tablet for kids

Alright don’t need any negative Nancy’s telling me not to get my 2yo a tablet so if that’s what your gunna do please don’t participate in my poll.

We’re about to move cross country 3+ day trip and my 2yo and 9m hate the car I’m talking scream their heads off till they are out of their seats. We’ve already changed car seats and it didn’t help so I’d like to at least have one entertained and sit next to baby and try and distract her or put her to sleep. Our new car has tvs but since they are rear faced my 2yo can’t see it.

Debating getting her a tablet or dvd player right now on long car rides I end up giving her my phone because I get so overwhelmed sitting in between both of them screaming and crying.

And yes I do bring different toys I bring snacks I play songs try to distract her other ways but for the sake of not losing my mind on this move I think this is best.

-A very overwhelmed and anxious to move mama 😓

My friend is over from another country but I don't feel like leaving the house

One of my old friend's is visiting where I currently live and we agreed to meet up today but I feel so tired and exhausted from everything that's been going on with me. I feel if I meet her I'm going to end up having another breakdown from the exhaustion which I have been having often. I'm just thinking about how I need to rest to be able to deal with my toddler and go back to work on Monday without feeling like I need another weekend. I'm torn on what to do so I need you guys to help me decide
