Getting petrol with baby

Do you take baby with you if you have to go and pay inside ? (No card machine at pump)
Or do you leave them in the car for a moment while you pay ?

Always take them in, I wouldn’t leave her in the car if I was quickly popping to the corner shop x

I have always left baby in car and locked it. I have two kids to get out. Always lock it as soon as petrol cap is back on

She comes in with me. I would never leave her unattended. I could get held up by something at the till, someone could grab her from the car (as I would never lock her inside the car because what if I couldn't get back in and she ends up stuck in there), she might have a medical emergency whilst in there on her own, just to name a few.

Always always take in

Take in but I only have one child. Might be a different approach for someone with more than one

I always take in or pay at pump

I personally take babies with me because you don’t know if they’re gonna choke on anything. I know it could be quite a small chance because they wouldn’t have anything to choke on however you never know it is a lot of hassle but sometimes things need to be done to keep your baby safe

Take in, or only go to pay at pump like you mention! X

I always use pay at pump, if that's not an option I'd always take them in

I only but petrol when im by myself so that I dont have to worry about her

5 month old activities

Hey everyone my baby is 5 months old and I want to reduce/cut screen time as I have read up on how bad it is what activities did people do to keep their baby entertained. Thank you in advance.

Tablet for kids

Alright don’t need any negative Nancy’s telling me not to get my 2yo a tablet so if that’s what your gunna do please don’t participate in my poll.

We’re about to move cross country 3+ day trip and my 2yo and 9m hate the car I’m talking scream their heads off till they are out of their seats. We’ve already changed car seats and it didn’t help so I’d like to at least have one entertained and sit next to baby and try and distract her or put her to sleep. Our new car has tvs but since they are rear faced my 2yo can’t see it.

Debating getting her a tablet or dvd player right now on long car rides I end up giving her my phone because I get so overwhelmed sitting in between both of them screaming and crying.

And yes I do bring different toys I bring snacks I play songs try to distract her other ways but for the sake of not losing my mind on this move I think this is best.

-A very overwhelmed and anxious to move mama 😓

My friend is over from another country but I don't feel like leaving the house

One of my old friend's is visiting where I currently live and we agreed to meet up today but I feel so tired and exhausted from everything that's been going on with me. I feel if I meet her I'm going to end up having another breakdown from the exhaustion which I have been having often. I'm just thinking about how I need to rest to be able to deal with my toddler and go back to work on Monday without feeling like I need another weekend. I'm torn on what to do so I need you guys to help me decide

Struggling

My husband works and does so much for me and my baby girl. However I get annoyed every time he hops on a video game he usually plays for 1-2 hrs if she's still awake and has like 3+hrs of free time once she goes to sleep (i co/contact sleep). The last time I was able to have actual free time was last month when I tried to turn some onesies into shirts for baby girl to sleep in- and I wasn't able to finish them and haven't picked them up since lol. The only free time I get is while she's napping right next to me where I can't move an inch or breathe too deeply or she'll wake up, or when I shower. Crafting used to be my outlet and now if I were ever to tell him that I need to craft I don't even know what I would do or where to start I just sit there and stare.... just losing myself and I'm struggling with it. Does anyone else feel the same way? What do I do?

Weaning

Hello mamas,could I get some advice please with how and what to wean as started this week with my baby but not really what to give and when what time day. Have started with puree vegetables and making them myself and offering it in the evening to my baby but she tends to get irritated and tired and has a few spoonfulls and then gives up and has a meltdown. So I’m questioning myself am I feeding her wrong time of day and what’s best to mix the food with milk or baby rice please.
