Najell sleep carrier - worth it?

I've seen this on Instagram and it looks good but quite expensive. Anyone have this and can say if it's worth it or not?

To me they don’t look worth it, haven’t seen them much so not 100% sure what they are. You really don’t need fancy things for a baby, they’re probably not gonna like being anywhere but your chest anyway

We loved ours! My husband went back to work quite quickly and due to my recovery I wasn’t able to baby wear so having her in the little carrier meant I could carry her around the house with me when I was doing odd jobs, could put her somewhere safe where I could watch her still whilst I ate. It fit in my pram bassinet too so would just put her in the carrier in the pram. We would also take it round relatives houses when we would visit so she would have somewhere safe to be put down and sleep. I loved mine and was so sad when she grew out of it😭

I got one and loved it.. it folds down to a play mat too.

Granted they don’t last long, she was out of it by 4 months but she is very tall. Was already in 6 month clothes

So worth it!! We used it 24/7 - in the bassinet of the bugaboo (much needed as baby is so small for extra cosiness and also fab in the winter for warmth), on the sofa with us, in the Snuzpod, baby’s familiar place when you go to anyone’s house, you get the picture! By husband also used to swing it to get baby to sleep ha. Best purchase by far. We’ve stopped using it around 4m - I think he misses his cosy place!
We also have the Najell Rise carrier and the weather cover and love it. Quality of the Najell products are amazing and worth the price for sure

I didn’t get the space saver either. You can make it cosy by pulling the cords in tight and then loosen them as they get bigger. but I did get x2 waterproof beddings to protect the sleep carrier from nappy leaks and spit ups. And then we’d put a muslin cloth over the bedding and that got swapped daily

I think Motherhood has made me more bitter than I realized…

This is such a ramble but I don’t know where else to put it all.

I’m four months in and I don’t really have hobbies right now. I don’t do anything for myself except maybe doomscrolling or listening to a podcast while I breastfeed my baby. I used to craft and have game nights with friends. Activities that usually are at least 2 hour stretches. Now if I have an hour free my mind immediately goes to baby, or doing something in the house for baby.

And I thought I didn’t mind. Like I knew postpartum could be very mentally consuming. But I think it’s altering how I view people around me and it’s prodding at my relationship with my husband.

He spends most of his time making food for us, looking after our dogs, playing with the baby, ect. But he still has time for his hobby. Spends maybe an hour a night on it. Even adapted to using a bot for shopping for his hobby after a certain incident where we had to have a heart to heart after he left me home alone with the baby for hours during a busy workday (I work from home) to shop for his hobby.

And yet there’s like this little green eyed monster in me that rages every time I know he’s running off to start up the bot. Even though I’m the reason he does it this way.

We took a family trip last weekend to see his best friend and their kids and let them meet the baby. He brought the laptop. He’s always brought a laptop on trips and it’s never been a problem to me before. But one night we both woke up while the baby was still asleep, and he wandered out of the room. I tried to fall back asleep but couldn’t. So I went to the kitchen to try having something warm to drink to settle me. And he was there at the table running the bot from his laptop. I flipped out at him. But there really wasn’t reason to. It’s not like I needed help with the baby and he was ignoring me. He wasn’t avoiding our friends. He was just awake and unable to sleep and found something to do with his time. Yet my snap reaction was “why the hell would you do this on a family trip?”

I don’t know what it is. Maybe it’s the less complete sleep from baby’s middle of the night feed? My brain being just consumed by baby? Maybe I’m not as over that shopping incident as I thought? But I’m just so annoyed at his hobby right now. The green eyed monster thinks “you could be using that time differently” but realistically to do what exactly??? Stare at our baby in the dark???

I spent probably an hour apologizing to him after I snapped. And he’s of course hurt and frustrated because I said some very mean things in the moment.

I don’t want to be this jealous, angry person. But I also don’t know how to find time for myself in this right now outside of basic hygiene. It’s like I’ve forgotten how to be myself, even if just for an hour.

Maybe I need a therapist.

Do men really enjoy fellatio?

Been together more than 10 years, but it's been a while since he even seemed remotely interested in me getting on my knees, or vice versa so to speak. I think it was once last year. Must be something I am doing wrong 🤔. Generally everything else in that department is great and we have two young kids with no extra support, so it's quite surprising we can't keep our hands off each other but may need to try new things. It's basically 2 positions each time with some foreplay.

How is everyone doing for naps?

Little one is 9 months old and will have 2 half hour naps and one solid 1 hour - 2 hour nap a day

Then settles for night around 9pm. Wakes for a feed around 3:30 then sleeps until 6-7
