Toys

Does anyone have recommendations for toys that keep your 9 month entertained!

My little girl literally will not sit still at all and I'm looking for some toys that will engage her even for a small time.

Bag the toys up and rotate them every few days. This really helps my little one xx

Talking cactus, tummy crab, play piano, any little Einstein toy I have 4 different ones and she loves them

I agree with @Charlotte we only take out 5 toys or so. And just like @Rhiannon baby girl, we have a walker out too and she playes with it every now and then 😊

My baby loves his key board, baby fidget spinner, ball pool, stacking cups and a random plastic bottle😂

My sons favourite toys are a plastic bottle and a tub with rice in that he uses as a drum/shaker 😂 this is despite him having a ridiculous amount of actual toys 😂

We got a toy 'tissue box' from Fisher price our son loves and also silicone stacker cups and shaker toys. He also loves his 'space ship' walker thing from babymoov. Hope that helps! It's hard isn't it!

Or anything she isn't allowed to have

Thank you for all the great suggestions I brought some eggs and stacking cups! Even my 3 year old loves them 🤣

Vtech toys are great, my twins spend hours playing with the counting dinosaur and moving balls

Dummies🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

Has anyone got any tips on how to GET RID of dummies😂🤦🏼‍♀️ my little girl is obsessed and i have no idea where to start!!

Help! First time mum -

I have a 4 month old and now all of a sudden when he’s been asleep for 1hr30/2hrs he will wake up screaming (high pitched) I’ve tried winding him sometimes that helps, I’ve tried bicycle legs & bringing his knees up but that doesn’t seem to help but he brings his knees up himself sometimes but nothing happens. I’ve noticed since the 4 month mark he has started to struggle passing wind downwards! Any tips?

Bath Time

Help! My baby is 3 and a half weeks old. Every bath she goes in quite happy but will only stay like this for a very few mins, if I try to clean her or move her we have tears and after a few mins the same. It's like she is scared. Our current baby bath is quite big should I try a different one? Looking for any suggestions as want her to enjoy bath time not be upset and I'm scared I'm going to make her hate it😢💗

Breastfeeding

Does it ever feel better? The actual feeding part of it is going really well and baby boy is growing so well. I’m struggling with how my boobs feel day to day - it’s really getting me down most days. The let downs make me feel awful and sounds silly but, I am also really missing not wearing a bra! 9 weeks postpartum and still getting fairly engorged, even with comfort pumping.

Any advice or just shared stories would help. I’m so torn between carrying on because I enjoy the feeding side of it or switching to formula.

Big nursing bras!

I’m looking for recommendations for good nursing bras for bigger breasted ladies!

I’m currently in a 38H which seems to be the biggest size done at M&S (UK based mama here) and it’s snug and not as supportive as I’d like. When I look online, they mainly seem to be sized S, M, L, XL etc rather than bra sizes.

Any recommendations please?

Strange question

Hello. I would identify myself as asexual but yes i am married and i have a child. But now that ive had my baby. I think its solidified that im done having sex. I feel bad as my partner keeps asking me but i just dont want to. Any advice on what i can do? Any other asexual moms out there? I guess this could be confusing but im not huge on being bound by a label. I have just always felt it represented me best since highschool.
