We got this one from Amazon. It's amazing! X

It's illegal to have a video screen in the UK so I have a mirror

Mirror only.

Screens that show a live feed are illegal to use in the car in the UK. The only thing allowed is information about the vehicle like reverse cams, sat nav and dashboard data. The fact they even sell them is criminal. If you are pulled over, it’s points and a fine.

Got my mirror on amazon

none and everything went all good too

We started out with a camera until we found out they're actually illegal in the UK so then changed to a mirror and actually prefer it as she can also see us

We got a random car mirror from Amazon. For our second we’re planning on getting the nuby x safeintheseat mirror from target. It’s been designed with safety in mind in case of a crash. I think it’s US only though, so it depends where you’re located.

Car mirror from Amazon that I got for my baby shower. It is perfect! She loves when I turn around before driving or when we are stopped, and we have some smiles in the mirror. And then I can also see her via my rear view mirror

I’ve got none. Tried it with my daughter but I was too distracted looking at her so it’s safer with nothing for me x

Elective C Section and Breastfeeding

Hi girls

My c section is booked next week and I'm excited and terrified in equal measures!!

Please can you give me your top tips for helping your milk supply along. Ive tried pumping colostrum at 37 and 38 weeks and just getting little trickles, nothing worth collecting. I've heard breastfeeding feeding is harder after an elective section.

Any advice would be amazing! Xx

9 week old sleeping through the night

For the past 2 nights my baby has slept through the night 😱
Yesterday she lasted 7h since the last feed until she woke up asking for food and today it's been 8h.
She got her jabs on Wednesday and she's been eating a little bit less (normally 730-820ml per day and for the past 4 days only about 700ml). Should I be concerned? She's otherwise very good, plenty of wet nappies and super alert when awake. I still feed her the same amount of times, just offering it more frequently

Breastfeeding with piercings?

I am 34 weeks along and my midwife told me if I want to breastfeed I should take my piercings out now, but when I had a home visit with a nurse she said I shouldnt have to take them out except when feeding or pumping. So I am just curious if there are any moms who have their nipples pierced who have been either breastfeeding or pumping and what's been your experience so far?
Editing to add: I don't mean I want to leave the piercings in while I'm breastfeeding or pumping. I mean taking them out while doing so but putting them back in after.

Does your partner stay awake ridiculous hours on the weekend knowing he’s already tired?

My partner continues to complain about being tired but constantly goes to bed after 11 weekdays and usually after 1 am on weekends, which means he never wakes up for our kids on the weekend I’m always up with them even if that is after I’ve had a night out. Is this normal or

Where do you put baby to sleep during day?

Where do you put baby to sleep during the day? In your living room or in another room? Do you darken the room during the day while they sleep? Do they already have a sleeping routine during the day ? (8 weeks old)

Night Time Nappy Leaks - Size 4, 4+ or 5 for a 6.5 Month-Old Side Sleeper

My 6.5 month old girl wears Aldi size 4+ nappies, and they seem perfectly fine during the day.

However, for the last two nights she has peed through her clothes and onto the bedding. She mainly sleeps on her side or tummy. Should I switch back to size 4 nappies for night time, or move up to size 5 instead?
