Baby car seat

Alright mummas, when are we getting those seats in the car? We're buying ours tomorrow and a part of me feels like its too early, but also running out of house space haha. Baby is being evicted on the 11th (june) and while im not overly superstitious, some things just dont feel worth playing around with

I'll be putting it in the day i go into hospital 🙂 still got to get the isofix base yet x

We're not putting ours in until baby is here. If you're in a crash for whatever reason you'll have to replace the car seat. We've put ours in the future nursery for now

No point putting it in until you actually need it . As above if you happen to be in a crash that’s a brand new car seat wasted .

I won’t even be taking mine to the hospital this time , my husbands going to go home and get them after we’re discharged being that I’m having section so will be in for 24hr+

Already in our car. C-section in 2 weeks.

My husband is really tall so he wanted to test both car seats behind his. We ended up having to buy our almost 4 year old a new one because he couldn’t fit in the driver’s seat with the other or baby’s behind him.

Awkward coffee meet vent

I'm looking for some advice, validation.
I'm feeling a bit poo.

So yesterday I met an old work colleague for a coffee.
We haven't spoken in 6 years.
We were very good friends until she one day turned on me and for the life of me don't know what I did.
I know she was grieving the death of a friend and I did attempt at the time to ask if I had done something because she wasn't talking to me in the same way and treating me very differently.
I was so hurt that I left my job.

6 years later she messages me because she noticed a photo of me online with my baby.
I suggested going for a coffee and she could meet my LO which she agreed.
We met and she was overjoyed with my baby, asked to have a cuddle and was so sweet with her.
The conversation between us was forced and she didn't really want to know anything about me or my life prior to baby.
I was trying to ask questions about her life, Famliy etc and it was like getting blood from a stone?!
I'm just a bit confused by the encounter?
It felt like she wanted to meet just to hold and gush over my baby- which is fine a guess...
Just feeling a bit flat by it and still believing I have still done something wrong...

Abusive

I don’t know how to make my spouse see that he is hurting me, physically and mentally :(

Silly question but will still ask!

Hi moms, my baby is 2 months old and I’m wondering what everyone uses for walks , the pram carrycot/bassinet or the car seat attachment? Which do your babies seem more comfortable in ?

How old was your baby when they showed a close bond with their dad?

My baby is currently 3 months old, and still showing a strong preference for mum. I'm exclusively breastfeeding, so completely expect to do all the feeds, but our baby also seems to need me to soothe and settle for naps.
My husband has always been keen to be a hands-on dad, but he's finding it quite demoralising that our baby often cried when left with him, and hasnt settled to sleep on dad since the early newborn days.

I left the baby with dad for a hour yesterday evening, while I had a doctor's appt, and apparently he scream-cri3d the whole time. My husband is feeling very discouraged that the baby doesn't seem to love/trust him, and I would really appreciate being able to have a break sometimes and leave the baby with his dad.

Is there an age where your baby stopped being so attached to mum, and was happy with other people? Did a dad-bond develop naturally over time, or do I need to make more of a conscious effort to leave them alone together?

Thank you 😊

Best affordable breast pump

please would anyone be able to recommend the best breast pump to use but budget friendly and easy to use , i’m thinking of buying from vinted as we are not financially buoyant for now and im seeing more of medala and nuiella. I notice medala has too many bottles and wires which honestly i’m not able to handle all of that. i just need something simple and easy that does the job.

High chair?

Hi all! My lo is 4 months and not fully sitting with his head up, however I want to get him a high chair to sit in whilst we eat our dinner. Any recommendations? One that will support his neck but then transition when he starts weaning? TIA
