Cars

Does anyone have a small-medium car they’d recommend with a newborn? I need to sell mine as it is small, 3 door and impractical. I don’t feel comfortable driving big cars, plus our driveway is quite narrow!

We have a vauxhall Grandland which may be bigger than you'd like but it it lovely to drive and a good size for everything baby needs.

We also have a ford focus. That's a lovely family hatchback. Average size family car quite narrow compared to modern suvs. Drives like a dream and it's very reliable xx

We’ve just upgraded to a bigger car for baby number 2 but I went from a smart car to a Nissan juke and loved it! Will be no good for more than one child but with one baby it was great! Not too huge but a good size and pretty cheap to run x

Vauxhall Crossland is a small Suv and really reliable. Not as big as people expect but has plenty of room for baby and good boot space.

I have a Subaru Forester (it's old now, but so reliable and the best to drive!). It feels huge inside but it's quite a petite thing compared to the sedan I used to drive. The visibility makes driving the Forester so easy!

Whatever you get just make sure it has isofix in it for a car seat!

Went from a 3 door Clio to a Vauxhall mokka (not the brand new shape) and she’s compact but spacious x

Had a VW Golf before. Looks small but could fit everything for baby in the boot, plenty of space at the back. And it’s a very reliable car.

1 YEAR JABS, DO I GIVE THEM TO MY BABY OR NOT?

Hi,
I’m really stressed because my mum is telling me not to get my child vaccinated with the 1 year jabs. My baby has already had the first 3 jabs but she’s really trying to get me to not get him vaccinated. I would like real opinions please. Has anyone here not had their baby jabbed? Please don’t think I’m silly for writing this, first time mum here so everything is so scary and new. Thank you!

Help!!!!

Someone please help me with some advice because I’m losing my absolute mind 😭
Baby is 5 months old, she has changed a lot in personality over the last month, more needy, sleep changes etc but have put it down to the 4 month regression and teething.
However, the problem that makes me want to literally cry is the car seat! She is totally inconsolable now every time she’s in the car. Why? And what can I do to help it?!

PP things I hate

Everything is stress induced anymore
My daughter has this ongoing diarrhea for 2 weeks now and I’ve gotten no sleep from it, I now have a canker sore from it, my acid reflux has more flare ups than ever. I don’t like having sex anymore (I love my partner and I still find him very attractive). Im way too overly touched (by the baby, by the dog and by him). Im 10m pp and I haven’t been able to wear a dang tampon! I don’t do pads because they are just not for me so I wear a diaper.
Please tell me if you relate to any of this at all? Or if I’m just crazy

Sleep regression solidarity

Anyone else’s little one been hit by sleep regression like a ton of bricks? 🙃.

Baby girl was sleeping so well then this past week has been struggling, last night was WILD. We are currently running on caffeine and vibes 😅✌️.

We can do this mamas.

Toddler being overly affectionate towards the end of my pregnancy

Has anyone got any experience with a toddler somewhat becoming more affectionate towards the end of pregnancy. I'm almost 37 weeks and my daughter has suddenly taken a liking to lay on my bump, talking to the bump and overall being very cuddly. She has also been an amazing sleeper up until about 3 days ago and she absolutely insists on coming into our bed for about an hour before we are due to all get up. Is she sensing the change and the shift that is about to happen?
