Rockit

For those mums like me who are in the sleep deprivation trenches and really struggle to get little one in their bassinet overnight, I can massively recommend attaching a Rockit to the outside of the bassinet. It really helps getting little one to stay asleep once you've transferred them into the bassinet and to resettle them if they wake

Never used on the bassinet but use on the Pram all the time so can recommend, however for people who dont want to pay the fortune that the rockit costs, Nuby do a cheaper version. We have it and its just as good as the rockit, called the jitterbug. Aldi had it on the baby event and I think i paid £29.99 for it

Seconding this! We found the Rockit works really well on our next to me crib and it's good because it times out after an hour. We've used it more on there than on the pram!

Ohh thanks for this post because I've been debating whether to get one for my next to me, and this has persuaded me to get it!

Technically they’re not listed as safe for cots due and they do a specific one for them. But I believe, from my research this js mainly due to a risk of baby being able to get to it from the cot slats. So outside the cot should be fine? We have tried this too. For us works in buggy but not cot? No idea why at this stage 😩🤦🏽‍♀️

Omfg what a good idea!!! Wish id seen this 9 weeks ago but still straight to amazon i go!!

Ah yes we did this with my daughter!! Life saver! Xx

How do you dry your 🐱?

Looking to settle a debate with husband, he is teaching our girls to dry themselves after they shower, i am teaching them to dry to a certain point on the inside but not between

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?

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?
