Holiday car seats

How is everyone dealing with car seats on holidays? The taxis abroad do not have car seats and obviously we will book a transfer with a car seat but what about for getting around in taxis whilst there?

Where are you travelling to? Can you check if you can hire a car seat locally from where you’ll be staying? And maybe check if you can order “family Uber” where you’re heading? I’ve had this recently in NY, France & Dubai so it might be possible.

Also not the perfect solution but do you still have a first stage car seat? I took that with me when I travelled a few weeks ago. Although she’s a little big for it now, it was better than her not being in a car seat at all! You can usually take a car seat for free on a flight but obviously check with your airline first!

Co sleeping? Is it dangerous?

I had been co sleeping with my 6 month little girl for the past month, I met up with my friend who’s a nurse and she told about an 8 month old baby passed away due to co sleep (rolled on her tummy and couldn’t move).
It really scared me so the past week we have transferred her to her cot (still next to our bed) but she is wakes 7-10 times a night and I’m exhausted and struggling so bad.
Do you guys co sleep or has anyone successfully got their co sleeping baby into their cot?
Any advice would be amazing❤️

7 month regression?!

My baby has usually slept through the night, until now... She wakes at least once or twice through the night. She won't settle unless I feed/or rock her back to sleep.

I've heard of different methods to help them self soothe back to sleep.. how do you manage this? She just doesn't want to settle, sometimes she is awake for a few hours before finally sleeping again. And sometimes she wakes as soon as I lay her down which then sometimes takes me another hour to settle.

Baby found voice

My 10 month old has found her voice, it doesn’t bother me during the day of the pterodactyl screeching or weird sounds but for the last week now she will not go to sleep when it’s bed time, she’s up hours on end making sounds. Did this happen to anyone else’s baby? Did anyone find a way to make them go to sleep ?

Bras after breastfeeding

Can anyone recommend some good bras now that I’ve finished breastfeeding and I’ve got 2 half empty sacks? 🤣
I’ve tried the brands Lounge, Boux Avenue (no underwire) and NEXT (underwire.)

They either slip underneath during the day or towards the middle 🥴💕

Can’t get baby back to sleep

My baby is currently awake and won’t go back to sleep if I put him down.

I asked my husband 3 times to help but he won’t because he worked until 8.30pm and is working all day tomorrow which I think is BS excuse. He thinks because he works long hours 6 days a week he doesn’t have to help

Group B Strep

I've just been reading an article about the risks of having Group B Strep and passing it onto your baby. Has anyone been tested on the NHS or paid for private testing? Just wondering if this is something I should do....
