Upseat worth it??

Thinking of getting my 4 month old the Upseat since it seems like the only safe option for floor seats and baby hip development. However, it’s kinda pricey, so I’m just wondering if it’s really worth the price?? If you have the Upseat do you recommend it?
Or is there another safe option that’s maybe a bit cheaper?

Also looking for other toys and activity stuff to keep a 4 month old entertained so if you have recommendations please send them!

Following. Our PT said “no” to the sit me up seat. Plan on asking her about this one when we see her next. My son is a big fan of these:

The Skip Hop seat is awesome!

I also have a 4 month old and he is obsessed with this toy! It’s great for teething and it’s easy for little hands to grab.

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

Self settling

Any tips or advice of how to teach 6.5month old to self settle? I’m up multiple times in the night to cuddle her back to sleep and put the dummy in. I understand she will wake up and want a cuddle etc but any tips on self settling would be appreciated 🥰

Baby losing weight

Hi all, it's been a long time since I had a baby (my son is 15!). My daughter is 10 days old and was 9lb born, she has since lost weight at every appointment and is at a 12% loss. I am breast feeding every two hours for over an hour and topping her up every feed. I pump and can get 60ml in 10 minutes so I know my supply is okay. Anyone had this before? Can give me some tips? I currently feel like I'm letting my baby down.
