Best budget nappy

Hiii I’m looking for the best budget nappy 🤣Atm use pampers (for nights and when out and about ) basically when I don’t want any leaks at all and nutmeg from Morrisons on a normal day at home. But I don’t know why he is leaking more and more when he is on the nutmeg ones and even sometimes on the pampers at nights. He is using the right size for both. He is a chunk and has chunky legs (don’t know if that has got something to do). I sized up with pampers but it was too big for him, I also don’t want to just use only pampers as it’s a bit more pricey. Any recommendations for budget nappies ? Thanks ❤️

We used Asda little angel. Never had any problems with them

We always use pampers, however forgot to pack nappies on a day trip so picked up a pack of boots branded nappies, been using them during the day to make use of them, got to say I'm rather impressed... my boy fills his nappies so fast and we leaked through so many different brands when smaller, that's why we've stuck with pampers, got to say I'm impressed with these boots ones though, no leaks and boots points too! 🙈🙌💙

Aldi ones are pretty good

Sainsburys are fab! Used them from size 1 all the way through to size 5 so far with normal nappies and 6 with the pull ups 😊

We use Aldi

We love Tescos and so far no leaks or explosions 💖

We use the Aldi ones and they're great. I've heard that they're not the next from size 3 and up though but we're not there yet so I can't vouch for that!

Sainsbury’s are amazing! They have like a scrunched up bit so they’re nice and snug on baby! Asda ones I found to leak and not be as tight fitting.

Pampers always leaked so quickly for us too!! We use Fred and flo Tesco nappies since almost birth and they never disappoint!! Lidl nappies are quite good too but they feel very thin compared to Tesco so I prefer Tesco

Aldi

I was a pampers ride or die, but been using Tescos for 2 weeks and we’ve had no leaks at all x

Overwhelming MIL

Hi ladies, just wondering if any of you have had to deal with/have any advice for an overwhelming MIL. For context, she lives 5 mins away whilst all my family love 3.5 hours away so we barely see them.

Ever since I've gotten pregnant my MIL has been more overwhelming than usual, (we have had run ins in the past due to crossed boundaries). She's gotten into the habit of saying "my baby" so things like "How's my baby?" "I bought this for my baby?" "When my baby is here" and I find it really uncomfortable.

We've tried correcting her but she just laughs it off and says "just wait until shes here, you'll see, she'll be my baby" and it worries me that when baby is here (due September) I will be at my most vulnerable and won't be able to deal with this behaviour.

My husband is lovely and he tries his best but whenever we set boundaries, it's almost as if she pushes to try and break them on purpose. Any advice on how to manage this? Or how to make life more bearable? There have been a few other red flags from her (purposely coming near me when she smokes, demanding every scan photo etc) but I don't want to/have the energy to cause arguments...help!

Baby bouncer

So my LO has reached the weight limit for her bouncer which I pop her in when I’m in the bath of shower… any one know of any that can hold larger weight?

Friendships after a baby

Hi. I hope no-one minds me asking on here, I just don't know what to do.
I had a close work colleague/friend that I would tell everything too (she helped me a lot with my mental health when we were struggling to conceive) We've been work colleagues for a couple of years but really good friends for the last year or so (we spent a lot of time doing walks/coffees etc last year)
However since having my baby she's gone very quiet (she has got some personal things going on as well and she has always been terrible at replying to any messages)
Since being on maternity, I've messaged to check on her, I'm mentioned about meeting up and even suggested some dates but nothing. My husband thinks I should just draw a line in the sand as I've been making all the effort and getting nothing in return. I don't want to force her to be my friend. It upsets me a lot that she doesn't contact me as I thought we were close.
I guess my question is, do I give her longer? If not, do I message to explain and not just go radiosilent.
I'm a very conscientious person and I overthink a lot of things but surely if she is just busy with life I should give her a reason as to why I stopped messaging her??

Thank you if you've read this far. My mental health is not great right now and this upsets me greatly that I think I've lost my closest friend.

Upset

I have made posts on here few times about how my now 12 week old baby sleeps rubbish at night, wakes every 3 hours for a feed and inbetween he cries from gas and fidgets. My partner works 4am shifts during the week and sleeps in our 2nd bedroom (which will eventually be nursery) then on weekends he gives me 2 nights off and he does the night shifts. This is the 2nd time now since he’s done the night shift where my baby literally has gone 7/8 hours without waking… HOW?!! He literally could NEVER with me. He was last fed around 7:15pm and didn’t wake until 3am and has just woke 7am for feeds, I’m happy my boyfriend got sleep but genuinely I wake up everyday from no sleep, I wake every hour or so normally… I’m actually just feeling pissed off … what was different last night? Am I doing something wrong? Could it be that he didn’t really nap yesterday evening? Or I fed him a couple of bottles during the day we’re 180ml instead of 150ml. I really don’t know.

Signs of Autism

Last year while on the beach, a woman had a sideways remark about my toddler having Autism

I had said “he wasn’t even evaluated or diagnosed”

She said “oh wait, he will be for sure”

This came from his gravitation to the ocean. She claims children with autism are obsessed with water.

I’ve never heard of that personally. I have a family member with autism who HATED water and it took years of therapy to get them to tolerate water for bathing or showering.

Tonight I visited with my mother and she made a remark about my child “twirling/spinning” in circles while playing outside and then going towards the hose to play with the water. She had said “wow! (Child’s name) really enjoys water don’t they?

Should I be concerned or getting an evaluation or seeking a developmental pediatrician visit?

I’m really at a loss. Child is two and a half going on three years old.

Pacifier for Newborns

What do you all think about giving a pacifier to a newborn? If anyone can share their experience, I’d be super thankful!
