Baby carriers or slings

What carries or sling aids anyone using. My 6 week old spends more time awake during the day but wants to be held so can't get on with the things that need doing so thinking a light carrier it sling might help.

Ergo embrace 💖

I got a moby wrap and a carrier you just clipped together. I found the carrier hurt my back and shoulders no matter what I did. Where my moby wrap has been amazing. I just watched theit YouTube video a few times. Practiced a few times. Put baby in while indoors and walked around gageing if I had it the right tightness. Ho estly can still carrier her in it for hours.

The wrap all the way. My daughter is 2 and I still use it. Nothing compares in terms of weight distribution and being comfortable for baby and whoever is carrying.

i found babybjörn carriers are light easy to use!

Ergobaby embrace and koala baby wrap

Babybjorn carrier or Hana sling wrap

I got a koala baby wrap from vinted as it's suitable from 2.2kg and my baby is too light for normal carriers. I do have a momcozy one for when she's a bit heavier. Not sure how good it will be, I got it because it was in leopard print 🤣

Can’t believe I woke up to this

I woke up maybe a couple minutes after my seven month old woke up. He wasn’t crying so I let him be maybe five minutes later he starts crying so I go to get him out of his crib. As soon as I pick him up, I realized that he is covered almost head to toe in baby poo. Part of it he did himself. The other part of it because it was a blowout. It was all over his face, back, stomach, feet. I never thought I’d have to deal with them playing in their own poo until they were toddlers. 😭

Leftover pregnancy/postpartum products

I have a load of leftover products either unopened or only used once, it seems a shame to throw them away any ideas what I can do with them? I don’t have any friends expecting or likely to get pregnant soon and I guess most places wouldn’t take them as donations? Based in London.

Bed transition

Hey all, looking for some help or advice with sleep transitioning I bought my little boy a double floor bed and we can’t seem to get him in the bed on his own - one of us have to lie with him until he falls asleep and then crawl out but if he wakes up in the night he cries and ones of us has to get back in the bed with him and then around 5am he wakes up and turns his light on and just sits on his bed then I’m finding myself having to get into bed with him to get him to go back to sleep as he is tired. But running on a lack of sleep and time with my partner is starting to take its toll so hoping for some help advice and tips that people have done or is the solution to just co sleep with him👀

Baby grunting syndrome?! Anyone else experiencing this with their baby? My baby seems to be doing this, appears to make him uncomfortable, cries for a bit then opens his bowels, seems to be fine till next feed.. unless his got wind 🤷🏻‍♀️

Newborn grunting and straining is most often caused by infant dyschezia (or "grunting baby syndrome"), a normal developmental phase where the baby hasn't yet learned how to relax their pelvic floor and anal sphincter while pushing out stool or gas.

Weird noise

Does anyone else's baby start doing this weird noise? He does it when he laughs, Excited or sometimes even randomly. Is it a stage, this noise is soooo annoying 😂 its like a fork on a black blackboard for me

10 months old by the way and just eaten so ignore the state of him 😂

Baby registry

Does anyone have any advice on what to put on my registry? Especially considering the rising costs of things recently I don’t want to buy anything that isn’t necessary or that I’m gonna use for a month and then get rid of. So if anyone knows anything I definitely should have on my list or anything that I should definitely avoid it would be incredibly helpful!!
