Car seat in taxi!

I am wondering about taking a car seat in a taxi. I am having an elective c section and my partner doesn't drive so we will need to get a taxi to and from the hospital. Does anyone have any idea about fitting our car seat in a taxi? I know we can take one in a taxi, I'm just a bit confused about how to fit it, or does the seatbelt just go across it or what??!!

When you drive alone with the baby/toddler what do you do when to stop and need to fill up gas

I’m a new drives and this a question that goes through my minds as I don’t feel like leaving my toddler alone in the car even if it’s locked but there’s different situations like she could be sleeping, so I wanted to ask what the mommy’s do?

Phones and Newborns

Is anyone else struggling with the guilt of needing to be on their phone when with their baby? It’s almost impossible these days to not have your phone on around your baby, even my home lights are connected to an app on my phone! I told myself I wouldn’t be a phone mum and although I try my best I still find myself feeling guilty.

Anyone else feeling the same?

I brought a phone case that is advertised to catch babies attention, it’s a black and white print and my baby does seem to like it, it’s made it great for taking picture but just wondered if anyone else has found some good tricks?

What blankets do you use for your toddler in the summer ?

So my toddler is out of a sleep sack now. She’s 3. What do you typically let your toddler sleep with in the summer so they don’t overheat at night, but have ample coverage for comfort to go to sleep? We don’t have air conditioning at our house and it gets to be fairly warm here in July and August.
