Looking at booking a short stay at Haven and would like to hear from mums who’ve been with 2 under 3. Where did your children sleep? My 3 year old could manage a bed in a lodge but my youngest will be 17 months and in a cot. The lodges don’t look big enough for a travel cot. Where did you put yours?
Thanks!

Sometimes the beds collapse. I either put a travel cot at the end of the double bed in the main room or ask for one of the beds to be moved if they are able too

We've just got back from a haven stay and we had room for a travel cot in the main bedroom
which accommodation did you stay in? Did you have enough space to get in/out of bed and out the room?

Sorry I've just seen your reply, so we stayed in a bronze caravan. We put it at the bottom of the bed, I was able to get out of bed, use the toilet that was in the same room and my partner had enough room to scoot down the side of the cot. I just lifted it on the bed during the day so it was out the way
Is anyone else still wearing nursing bras even after they’ve stopped nursing because it’s just comfortable?? Because hi 🙋♀️. I would like nothing more than to retire them as war heroes but what are we all wearing as alternatives? Does anyone have recommendation for comfy supportive cute bras? ‘Cause the girls do be needing more support after 9 months of nursing. I was looking at the Knix no underwire ones.

I’m so excited and trying to get organised but not sure if I’m rushing. All advice welcome❤️
1. I’m having an elective c section what after care bits were actually helpful? Are the silicone patches worth it when did you start using and what brand is best? Was a peri bottle still necessary for cleaning the downstairs area or not?
2. Maternity bras. What ones would you recommend and also when did you get them I was thinking of getting them pretty soon but also not sure if they’ll fit by the time I need them or did you just size up or waited till closer to the time?
3. When did you start washing baby clothes and packing hospital bag? I pretty much have everything we need already so I could pack now I just don’t know if I should wait. Same with washing babies clothes etc I plan on washing all newborn and 0-3 months initially then bigger sizes closer to when she’ll actually need them but I still have 8 weeks how early did you start washing clothes and organising drawers etc?

My daughter was a late walker at nearly 20 months but this one is determined to climb, cruise, move at not even 9 months. Any tips on helping him move around safely when I’ve got him and his sister (3) to watch?

When did you make the change? Nearly 4 months old and naps in her pram, she woke up today and decided to roll over in the bassinet 😂 Is it time to put the chair on? :(( she’s probably more than ready, I however, am not 😭

Everytime my first attempt at crib transfer fails, the second attempt always fails too. I then finish it as a contact nap. Only if I get it right in first attempt does the baby continue with the nap in the crib. After how many minutes do you re-attempt if it fails once? Any tips / suggestions on what I could do differently?

My mum has recently found a free pram that’s she’s brought home for us, it’s a bugaboo chameleon 3, with an L shaped bucket seat, but it also reclines back fully (will include pictures). There’s some parts missing, we’ll need to get more straps for it. As the seat fully reclines, I’m guessing there’s some sort of seat you can put it in for babies that need to lie at an 180 angle. I really need help finding a seat, I have no idea what to look for or any of the pram terminology. I’m hoping to get something to put in it for a newborn before thinking about buying a whole other pram well only use for 5 months. Any advice appreciated
