Najell sleep carrier vs. Moses basket (or snuz pod)

Have a next to me crib for upstairs but downstairs do not have anything yet for supervised daytime sleeps.

Would someone recommend one over the other?

1. Najell sleep carrier - pro: good for out of house and more transportable indoors. Cons: grows out in 3-4 months
2. Moses basket - pro: similar price and elevated position, lasts longer. cons: lacks transportability outside home

Could just buy both but that’s a few hundred £ out the door and prefer to buy new vs. vinted on these items.

Thanks!

I would say just the Moses basket. The najell is really nice but so pricey and you can still transport the Moses basket around the house as they usually have handles. Didn’t have either with my first as we lived in a flat so just lugged his next to me around but we’ve finally moved into a house so have the next to me for upstairs and a Moses basket for downstairs. And also if you’re planning on going out but baby needs a sleep, you can just put them in the pram ready to go and most are safe for sleep

I’ve been trying to talk myself out of getting the Najell, it looks so nice! This is my 3rd baby so I do already have the Moses basket but I’ve heard such good things about the carrier.

I suppose you have to ask yourself are you going to do much walking from your house that you can put the carrier in the pram without disturbing babe?

I’m still so tempted as even if you buy new, they sell so well on Vinted so if you sell it on then you are only down by like £60 once you sell it on… not too bad 🤣

Do what makes you happy and what you can afford 🫶

I bought the najell sleep carrier second hand as I know it’s got a short life. I couldn’t resist it!

I’m getting the Najell. 2nd baby present for myself 😄 for my first we just used the pram carrycot downstairs which was actually great, but now the car will be less spacious with the 2 kids it’s not gonna be as easy to get the carrycot in & out so often. More like Tetris now. So I wanted something else for indoors that i could move around & easily take to parents/in-laws too. Let alone be able to move baby up & downstairs sleeping if my toddler is dragging me all around the house. Total splurge but we’ve bought nothing else that isn’t totally necessary!

Thanks, Em, that’s really helpful especially the discount/basket add details. Good luck with your second baby. It sounds like it makes a lot of sense especially if you’re working in Tetris like spaces!

When does it get better?

I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....

Rant/WWYD

My sister (youngest, 24) has two kids, 4 & 1, and i (oldest, 30) just have my one who’s 6mo old right now, so i ask her for advice or call her to vent about things sometimes. Well im tired of her turning around and telling my other family members that I’m “losing my sh*t.” Literally have not lost my sh*t nor have i ever freaked out to her about my baby, i just call her to talk and tell her what stage my baby is in or talk through how im feeling, but she chooses to tell people that im like a complete nutcase or something which worries me that my family is going to start being judgmental about me as a mother or looking at me funny like I’m some fragile ticking time bomb.

What would you do in this situation? I’m already pretty much decided that I’ll stop telling her anything about my struggles, but I’m almost at the point where i feel like it should be confronted because she, of all people, should understand what I’m going through.

Not drinking

I’m going crazy. Baby born at 2.26kg. Slow to put on weight. This last week hasn’t put on any. Been trying to feed him at night and he’s not interested at all. Fast asleep. During day he will have 5 minute gulps and that’s it. He don’t cry for milk. I’ve got to keep offering to him. I try to offer it every hour but I don’t know what I’m doing. HV said nutrition comes after 5 minutes so I should pump first and then give him. I find it so hard. I tried to pump one boob nothing came. The other abit came. Tried giving him express he’s not interested in that too. Sometimes he will go for a longer a feed but not long at all. He’s 4 months and is currently 5.46kg. I have no family or friend support here and wish I had a cook, cleaner and nanny to help with everything so I can concentrate on the little one. I don’t know what’s wrong with him but I’m loosing it. It doesn’t help that my also stressed generally about my relationship and life circumstances. Any advice that will work. Any comfort you can give. I’m fed up. Is this regression - not feeding. He’s fast fast asleep. I’ve been trying to push the nipple in but that mouth is closed shut. I took some clothes off. Changed his nappy but he’s still asleep. Please help

Sleeping bag

8 week old in sleeping bag for first time as big enough! Do you feed your child in the night whilst in the sleeping bag or taken them out, feed then transfer back to sleeping bag before putting down?

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too
