Left over nappies

What do people do with leftover nappies when their babies go up a size, I have lots of size 1,2 and 3 from when my baby sizes up and im not sure what to do with them , binning seems wrong , charity and food and living banks only take them when it’s a sealed brand new pack , what do you do with your leftovers

I work in a nursery so I took all my ones to where I work as spares if a child ran out, or forgot to bring more in. We sent out a permission slip for the parents to sign it was ok for them to be used. Maybe contact a few local nurseries / child minders maybe they’d like some? Or post on Facebook for a mum / dad who may be struggling to get baby bits. I always put things up for Free and I get interest In my area, always nice knowing your doing a good thing to helps others 🩷

Vinted, I sold a mixture of size 2-4 for a decent price. Every little helps on maternity and you are helping out another mum with some cheap nappies.

If it was just a couple I put them in the bin. One time I had more than that so I asked on my local peanut page if anyone needed them and they went quick

Local community gifting groups - Facebook usually has something, or WhatsApp if you have any nearby (we have a ton of freebie WhatsApp groups near us!)

Or you could try community centres or churches, or even cafes, often they have spares in their baby change areas for people who need them (ie if they’re caught short!).

Please don’t bin them! There will definitely be someone able to put them to good use ☺️

Stick them on Facebook for free for someone who needs them. X

2 1/2 month old poop (BM fed)

How many poops does your 2 1/2 month old have?
Mine were pooping every 3 hours I’d say but now suddenly one of my boys hasn’t pooped in about 10 hours?
Is this normal?

Just curious

Hi everyone!

I found myself in a VERY unique situation 2 months ago. I found out I was pregnant with my baby boy, literally the night before I officially gave birth to him. I had all of 16 hours to mentally and emotionally prepare myself to bring another life into the world. Mind you. He is my first (and hopefully only) child. There are no words to describe the mental change that took place while finding out about my cryptic pregnancy, especially after being my entire life, that I would NEVER be capable of having children. Is there anyone else out there, who has gone through this?

Should I wake for a feed?

My 8 week old little girl had 30ml at 8:00pm last night. Should I be waking her for a feed now or just leave her to sleep? Anybody else little one do this?

Night time sleep advice

Heyyy!!
We have been advised from the GP that we no longer need to wake our 7 week old to feed at night. However, at the 7 hour mark I tend to wake her as I worry about her sugar levels etc. When I do wake her she is really hard to wake. I do the usual nappy change, tickle her feet but can take about 20 mins for her to wake up. I have been told she is a healthy weight but I worry that this many hours is too long for her little age. Am I wrong for waking her after 7 hours?
(She is formula fed and currently weighs 12 pound)
