Nappys

Which nappy brands are your faves and why?
Do you find sizes vary between different brands?
For example the pampers size 1s we always get leakage of poo and wee but are fine with size 1s in the sainsburies and aldis own brand ones. Would've expected pampers to be better quality but maybe a size issue

Definitely the Aldi ones, won’t use anything else from the ones I’ve tried x

Personally dont rate pampers they were mt least favourite them with my first & i never repurchased!

My oerson favourites are Lidil/Lidil Premium & Asda, i find they fit well and are softer material & i rarely experience leeks - with both my newborn and 2year old!
I do find some brands a neater fit but generally buy the same size x

We bought pampers for my son as that's what we used for my daughter. But he kept leaking through them so we've switched to Aldi's mamia now. The fit is so much better as they're a bit smaller and more snug than pampers so no leaks at all. I think it totally just depends on your baby's size x

Do you wash your hands after changing a nappy?

I've been to quite a few baby groups where I've noticed a lot of her mums don't wash their hands after they change their baby. they just change them in the room and then carry on with the class. Personally, I find it gross and the same as going to the toilet without washing your hands. I wondered whatever everyone else thought.

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

Head bump

My 10 week old had a head bump yesterday 2pm we went hospital cos she was sick twice at 6pm. They said she seems completely fine and not concerned. When we got home she went straight to sleep and slept continuously from 10pm-8am… 10 hours with no wakes she has never done that we usually wake 3/4 times a night. I woke her up at 8am just to see how she reacted to lights n stuff and to try feed her but she’s not interested in feeding. (EBF)
Is this usual? I’m a bit concerned? But drs said she was fine so idk

Insensitive husband.

So overall my hubby is kind & supportive of most things but at times a bit of a joker and can be quite immature (like most men)

I had a Vbac with my second but it was really traumatic so I’ve decided on an elective Section which is booked for 3 weeks time.

I’m obviously nervous like anyone would be as it’s major surgery but my husband has said things like “you do have life insurance don’t you” or “just cos you’re having a planned procedure doesn’t mean things can’t go wrong” 🙄 I said you shouldn’t be saying things like that you. He was trying to push me to have another normal birth but I have my good reasons not to & I still don’t think he’s on board!

I think maybe it’s cos he knows he will have to do more after a section than a normal delivery 🤷🏻‍♀️
Men are so insensitive sometimes. I mean do you think there’s any logic in what he’s saying?

Are you still breastfeeding?

The doctor has just told me that there’s no benefit past a year. And when I said that’s a weird thing to say, he told me it’s a fact.

Naps

Anyone else’s LO still napping 30/40 minutes at a time?
He’s 6 months next week!
I feel like he’s been doing this forever and thought he’d give me a good hour or so by now 😩

He can link sleep cycles at night as he does a good 5 hour stretch but through the day he is up after half an hour everytime! (Even contact naps)
