Car seat safety

Anybody else struggling with their mil on car seat safety? Today will be the 3rd time she’s dropped off my baby with her not secured at all. I’ve tried talking to her about it but she just gets defensive and says it was “just an oversight”. When I bring it up to my husband he basically says I need to bring it up to her when she drops my child off and he’s gonna stay out of it. but it feels like I’m not gonna get anywhere with her about it. I told my husband today that if she’s going to continue watching our child that I’m just going to pick her up because I don’t trust her driving 30-45 minutes to me. Today when she dropped her off her straps were not tightened and the chest buckle was at the crotch buckle. Last time her chest piece wasn’t buckled AT ALL. I’m just tired of having the same fight with her/ my husband everytime it comes to his mother.

If it were me….. I’d show her how to property buckle her in and if the next time after that’s it’s still not right she just won’t be able to get in the car with her anymore

I agree! OP, Show her how it’s supposed to be, she honesty might not know the proper way. And tell her straight up that baby girl NEEDS to be buckled properly or she won’t be able to drive with her anymore. To me, that’s a MAJOR problem. If she were to get in an accident or someone hit her, baby girl isn’t safe and is could get seriously injured from not being buckled properly. If she still brushes it off and isn’t buckling her right, then definitely drive yourself to get her

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?

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.

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😢💗

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?
