Car seat recommendations pls

My LO is 19m and on 3rd centile, what car seat should I go for ? I’m looking for a Front facing one

Rear facing is 5x safer than forward facing. I'd recommend joining bump to booster on FB and asking for recommendations on there x

As above said. You can’t get a safe fit at that age forward facing. Unfortunately legal does not mean safe and our government is very behind the times on legislation when it comes to car seats. Even more important for a baby on such a small centile.

We have the BeSafe izi turn. It is £££ but it’s a a very safe seat from a very reputable manufacturer.
As above, rear facing is much safer and we rear faced our eldest in this seat until she was 4 yrs and 9 months.
However, it can also be turned to face forward.

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.

Just sharing

I have an almost 9 week old baby, and she never slept independently since day 1. I tried putting her on her crib for nap times during the day but not even 20 mins and she is going to wake up, same at night. She will just sleep if she is in her carrier, or we are in bed but I should be beside her. I feel like I’m doing something wrong.

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)
