Car seat issues

So we have a travel system which the car seat is apart of. The newborn insert was taken out a while ago but she has recently started slumping her head forward when falling asleep in her car seat. This car seat isn’t reclinable. What can I do to make sure she doesn’t do this as my anxiety is going through the roof at the moment and having to stop so many times to check on her. Don’t want to have to buy a new car seat at 4 months old if we don’t have to but everyone I’ve spoke to to said I may have to 😬🙈

Maybe speak to health visitor? X

If there’s no way to recline it, I would say you’ll not have any choice but to get a new car seat 😬 x

Probably needs the inserts in still . Join bump to booster uk or car seat safety on Facebook can ask for some proper advice on fit and can post

We had this and we were able to adjust our straps up and down. Not sure how to explain it.
We basically adjusted them so they came out of the seat at shoulder height and it fixed it.

I have the exact same problem, which travel system do you have? My little one hates his car seat and I’ve tried everything to make it comfier but he just doesn’t look comfy in it since taking out the insert. I have the prestige baby style system

I have the puggle 360 from newborn to 12 years old, it’s great and recliner/ spins to put them in. Only downfall it doesn’t connect to the pram x

Update: we have now adjusted the straps to just above shoulder height and this has helped but need to make sure baby’s pelvis is engaged properly, thanks for the advice will possibly be looking a new car seat but going to see how this goes 😊

ickle bubba stomp travel system and the car seat is ickle bubba stratus but yeah possibly be looking at a new car seat soon

Circumcision, please help

I know it can be a really sensitive topic, but I feel really underinformed about whether I should choose to circumcise or not if we end up having a boy.
For context: we are very non-religious, but I worry about the stigma of being non-circumcised when he would start to get interested in dating, navigating cleaning it and the risk of infection especially as he gets older and navigating potty training at daycare and stuff. I also worry about the increased risk of penile cancer. But then I also hate the thought of making my baby go through a major surgery unnecessarily and would prefer for them to make the choice when they are older if they choose to get circumcised.

How did you make your choice? Does anyone regret their choice?

How do I end this friendship

My best friend of 15 years and I are in similar stages of life and her behaviour has gotten increasingly erratic and triggering. I am about to have my first baby and she is struggling with postpartum from her second who was born last August. All the “normal” post partum depression symptoms I totally understand but she has also in my opinion made a lot of selfish choices recently.

She is constantly yelling and berating her husband and kids as well as flying off the handle at the tiniest things and it’s super triggering for me coming from a previous abusive relationship. She’s honestly being abusive to her family.

I feel like she always makes everything about herself and her reasoning has gotten soooo misconstrued. She acts only on her emotions and doesn’t care about anyone else’s. She never accepts any constructive criticism or advice even though she complains 24/7 about everything.

She says she hates being a mom and doesn’t want to be around her kids , hates her marriage, hates her job, and complains 24\7 and refuses to do anything to change. She also makes everything about herself including my baby shower we just had. She’s made rude comments to my spouse as well.

I don’t have many mom friends but at this point she is just not the type of person I want to be around because she is being so mean and wanting to bring everyone down with her. Also I am about to have my first baby and just want to focus on me.

no screen mums!!

are you absolutely 0 screens household? my boy is 6mo and me and my partner agreed no screens till 3yo, but I'm a sahm and showering is HARD when I'm alone, I've been thinking about recording myself singing the songs he likes and showing it to him for being able to shower.
What do you do?

Wake windows and entertaining

Feeling guilty for co sleeping

My 6 month old has suddenly started to do abit of co sleeping in the night. She sometimes go back to her bed but alot of the time it’s out of pure exhaustion from me that I just let her sleep with me. I haven’t got any energy to be rocking her back to sleep and putting her down with possibly failing the attempt. But for some reason I feel a sense of guilt like I’m going to have problems later on if it continues. Someone put my mind at ease please?
