When is everyone washing baby clothes?

I am 32 weeks today with my first and wondering when I should be washing the baby clothes etc? Don’t want to do it too soon but also don’t want to be stressed.

Start now. If you feel ready it's never too early. I'm almost 35 weeks and have been doing bits since about 32 weeks. The further along you get the more uncomfortable you'll be doing all the folding and bending etc

I did mine so early 🙈and put them in a vacuum pack bag but I reckon 36/37 weeks is a better time

I got the hospital bag bits washed about 28 weeks when I started packing them. Started the rest of the clothes today at 32+4. Now the babies room is pretty much done I can wash and put away now.

I’m 33 weeks with my second and I’ve just done the first lot I’m taking to hospital with me and popped it straight in the suitcase so it’s ready to go. Don’t overwhelm yourself lovely xxx

I did mine around 32 weeks and now I’m nearly 36 I’m grateful I did it, the more along I get the less energy I have to do all these things x

I’m 32 weeks and i’ve done all the washing, i just wanna get as much as possible done while i have good energy - and the last weeks i just wanna relax…

Antibiotics and breast milk.

Has anyone taken antibiotics and noticed that it has affected their breast milk? I have been on antibiotics for a week (4 a day) and every time my baby has breast milk she is immediately sick afterwards and cranky. (This was never an issue before being on antibiotics), so I have been pumping and pouring away my milk (which is soul destroying) until I finish the tablets. She has been having formula instead and isn’t being sick with that at all and seems much more settled.

Would it bother you? Hubby never finishes.

So my husband doesn't finish. Not for birth control but he just doesn't finish, he says he can go a really long time before actually finishing. He can finish as we have a child together.

It's never bothered me enough to cause serious problems in our relationship. Sometimes I wonder if I'm good enough in bed? He says he just gets tired. I've only ever been with two guys, my ex and hubby and my ex never had an issue with it. Hubby says he likes it and we have a healthy sex life as in we have sex regularly.

Just wondered if it would bother you or am I overthinking it?

What age do babies start sleeping through the night??

I know it's different for everyone but what age did your baby start sleeping through?

Travel pram

Has anyone used any of these prams? I want to make sure the seat sits upright fully and isn’t really flimsy that my son could fall out but I know these are cheaper prams as I can’t afford a lot so keep looking on marketplace etc

AITA

So my due date is in 10 days but obvs we don’t know when the baby will actually come. Anyway, my SIL is also pregnant (after 10 years of infertility) and I am so happy for her when I found out because the doctors had said they may never conceive. So she has her gender reveal on the 26th of April (which would be almost 2 weeks after due date) in either case I wouldn’t feel comfortable attending while newly postpartum and with a newborn baby where there will be lots of people I don’t even know, I said to my husband he should go just with my daughter, which he agreed but mentioned she might feel a certain way. I mean she needs to sort of be understandable, I just don’t want to put my baby at risk, and after I gave birth last time I made myself very unwell thinking I’m okay to go out and about earlier than I should. On top of this, she shouldn’t feel a certain way because in our culture it is crucial for the mum and baby to not leave the house for 40 days, and she knows this. Anyway I don’t think I’m being an Asshole, I just don’t want to put my baby at risk and especially because people from my country don’t know boundaries when it comes to babies (kissing them, holding them, passing them around)
