What do you do about car space when having a 3rd child. My car won’t fit 3 car seats in the back. I’m mainly stressing as it will only be weekends that the 5 of us will all go in it. Buying a bigger car isn’t an option atm as only just brought a new car 2 weeks ago. Just found out I’m pregnant

Look into slim carseats! If you google "slim carseats to fit 3 across" you'll see a few different options for different price ranges ❤️

I would visit a specialised car seat retailer to try some options. You can also look in some FB car seat groups and search for your car plus 3 across and see if anyone has managed it. I like the bump to booster group.
But if it's only on the weekend, I would have the newborn rearfacing in the front with the airbag off, and the other two in the back, and the other adult in the middle seat in the back

Do you have a second car? You may need to go in two cars on some occasions. Or look into the slim carseats. It will be hard. Expect lots of broken nails

If you’re US based you can check out safeintheseat. They have a quiz you can take to be matched to a car seat that works for your car and budget. One section is for slim car seats to fit three across. It might be worth trying to have baby #3 in a convertible seat from birth if that’s an option for you.

Put a rear facing child in the front with airbag off, if you can’t do this then I would suggest getting a car with 3 full sized seats in which the car seats can fit on, otherwise it is not safe 😁

I defo don’t think you’ll fit 3 in the back even with a slimline seat as it’s not a full sized seat and could be dangerous trying to squeeze one in where it doesn’t fit properly. I think your best bet is the infant carrier in the front with the airbag off but then your issue is if you’re traveling with 2 adults. I take it changing the car isn’t an option at the moment? x
We’ve recently moved our toddler to a single bed with a duvet for the first time. She’s manages to stay under the duvet for the first 4 hours then doesn’t have the duvet on. Currently she’s at the other end, on top of the duvet.
Will she eventually stay under?

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!

My baby just will not stay settled at night. Just gone 6 weeks old. I can transfer her from me to cot fine after a feed, then within 15mins she is fussing and unsettled, reflux, being sick, wakes herself up then is crying or wide awake. This goes on for 2hrs until she then starts fussing for a feed 2hrs after the last feed.
I literally cannot get any sleep
Seems thats everyone else's baby sleeps better. I have a 4 yr old and had horrendous sleep with him to for 2 yrs. Why is it happening to me again, I actually said I'd never have another child due to the such bad sleep if my 1st child, then convinced myself it'd be better 2nd time
..and its not proving that way. I cant catch a break 😥
Ive tried everything to make her settle and she wont

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.

If you can relate, I would really appreciate if you could share your experience.
My LO is nearly 7 months, been breastfed since birth, is okay with solids, we co-sleep and wakes very frequently at night (sometimes for milk & others out of habit).
He will start full time nursery at 12 months (10 hrs a day, 5 days a week) and I am freaking out because he is nowhere near sleeping through the night and still feeds frequently from the breast.
What can I do to prepare for this huge transition?
I would like to avoid formula if possible but open to hearing all the suggestions.
What will this look like for us realistically?
What do 1 year olds eat?
Thank you!

Been awake for over an hour - baby was changed and fed but now won’t go back down in the next to me as he’s so congested and he won’t settle laying flat.
I’m exhausted and so sleep deprived yet husband is lying next to me SNORING his head off and it’s making my blood boil.
