Tonies

Thinking of buying a Tonies box for my toddler’s birthday, but according to some reviews I’ve read on Amazon they don’t last very long and are prone to technical issues, etc.
Those of you who own one, what do you think? Are they worth the money?

If you're looking for alternatives, have you heard of the yoto? We have the mini and it's perfect for a toddler to carry around, easy to use(mine worked it out when she got it around 18 months), ideal for long car journeys, is a better price point and in my opinion will age better- the figures will seem childish at some stage in a way that cards will not. The cards are really sturdy and the yoto has survived a few drops without a scratch (we did get a little case). My daughter loves hers, I think it's her most used thing. She loves carrying it about like a little boombox playing her tunes 🥲

I bought one for my severely autistic brother and I’m saying that for context because it got thrown and smashed up frequently and still worked fine, he was 7 years old at the time and I’d worked for a full year before being water damaged from a full submerge but it was totally worth it my mum bought him a new one as he loved it that much.

Youtube premium is less expensive. Just turn on audio and turn off the screen.

We’ve had ours for about 3 years now and still works fine.

That’s why I LOVE the Yoto Mini! My son is obsessed with it. He’s had it for years and still listens to it at 7. They have a good selection for all ages so they can grow up with it

We have had for 2 years, never had a problem and used every day and has come on holidays.

We use the Tonies box every night at bedtime after reading books, he falls asleep quickly but if not then the story keeps him calm til he sleeps. We also play audiobooks on Spotify, all the Julia Donaldson books are on there, and we play them all. It’s a great alternative to keeping him calm and still during meal times or some cuddle time xx

To the mums of 2 kids

When and how did you know to have your second? My son doesn’t sleep well but this is the only difficulty we have with him, he’s an absolute angel otherwise. Me and my husband do want another, but when do you know when to try? My son is 9 months, and I think I want one sooner rather than later, so I don’t have to get used to sleep and no nappies to go through it all again. But then I question if I could cope with 2, or do you just get on with it?

Baby bouncers

Are baby bouncers good for kids to use from 6 months keep hearing it isn’t? Anyone else brought a bouncer for their child ? And hasn’t had a problem

I just want a day off.

I am EBF, so it’s not an option really. I doubt he would take a bottle at nearly 5 months and my plan was to feed until at least 6 months, but most probably beyond that. BF is easy in a way too!

The sleep regression has been wild. It’s getting me down. I just want one longer stretch of sleep. Not feeding every 30 mins-2 hours overnight. I resent my partner because of it, the freedom he has. He doesn’t even need to ask, he can just go somewhere alone. I have to ask for a break.

I really enjoyed motherhood up until now, where the lack of sleep is getting to me.
