Car seat upgrade

My little boy is 8 months old and we’re starting to think about upgrading the car seat to an all stages one. Husband’s family live about five hours away (without stops) so I would love people’s recommendations for comfy all stages car seats for longer distance travelling.

We've had terrible experiences with Joie and Graco all stages 360 car seats, they both caused head flopping even with the wedge insert in correct place so I would avoid. Also seemed to be so upright and uncomfortable even when on most laid back setting. The one we now have is a cybex sirona gi i-size 360 - my little boy loves this and is so comfortable, he will actually now nap on a car journey compared to the other 2 I have mentioned. It does up to age 4.

We’ve got two we really love.
The Avionaut Stardust and the Besafe Stretch. They both seem super comfy and have adjustable reclines.
Stardust spins and becomes a HBB, but the Stretch lasts a lot longer rear facing. X

6week check up for mum

Hey, what does the 6week check up contain for the mum with the gp? My app isn't until 7weeks, just wondering if we can resume bedroom activities beforehand? Or does the gp go through certain checks to discharge before saying its okay to resume?

Is it me or is it still the hormones?

I feel like me and my husband are drifting more and more apart. Our son just turned one and it seems like we are butting heads more often. For one he still sleeps on the couch. In the beginning he did it so I could sleep inbetween pumps and because the bassinet was in the living room. Then he stayed once we moved him to his own crib as the room is next to the living room and as he says “ this way when he cries only one of us wakes up.” I still hear him from our room when he cries, it’s a one story house. I have asked he come back to our room heck it was the only thing I wanted for my birthday but he hasn’t. Then tonight he made his bottle with 4 ounces of milk and 2 water for only one scoop of formula. I started getting upset bc we just talked about it last night. I’m not comfortable moving up from 2 ounces milk and 4 of water with two formula scoops as he’s not really eating table food. He only has a few bites here and there so I feel he won’t get the nutrients he needs if we move up. My husband says his daycare teachers say we need to get him off bottles. Chill out people he just turned one!! We still have a few months til he has to be off them completely. It just feels like he doesn’t care what I say and just wants to be the “yes man” and do what the teachers say. I just feel so defeated as the mom when he does this.

Sleeping

How’s everyone’s baby’s sleeping? Feel like my little boy is inconsistent. He’s 10 weeks and I try to put him to bed around 6-7pm each night x

Day naps and sleep sacks

Do you put your baby back in their sleep sack for daytime naps? At home anyway

Side sleeper

My 6 month old refuses to sleep on his back anymore no matter how many times I roll him on his back he keep rolling onto his side :,)
I know it’s okay if they got there on their own but he literally learnt to roll a few days ago he’s not a professional athlete yet :,)
