NAPPY/DIAPER PREFERENCE

So I’ve been trying out different nappies to find the best for baby girl. With my eldest daughter I used pampers and they were rubbish so I didn’t bother with them and switched to Aldi nappies and only used Aldi nappies with my son. Huggies are a no go for me.

So far number 3 (rascals) have been working the best for baby girl with number 4 in close second.

Which nappies if any of these have you found the best for your LOs?

1. Tesco (Fred and Flo)
2. Asda (Little Angels)
3. Most supermarkets (Rascals)
4. Aldi (Mamia)

If you have any other suggestions for other brands please feel free to drop a comment 🩷

Help settle this not serious debate between my husband and me

This is for kids old enough to play in the bath.
Do you wash your kids first then fill up the bath so they can play?
OR
Do you fill up the bath, let them play then drain and wash?

I just wanted to come on here real quick to show something I wrote. Since my son was born I had been struggling with maintaining a friendship with someone I considered my bestfriend. I wasn’t the one struggling though, she was. When my son was born I stopped hearing from her, even after during my pregnancy she swore she would be here for me and would be my sons “fav auntie”… Well he is almost 9 months old and the only time I have been asked to hangout is when she needed a pregnancy test and she knew I had extra. Me having a child suddenly made my bestfriend lose interest in the friendship. I’ve expressed to her so many times how I felt and i guess it just doesnt matter because to her I’m no longer friend material because i am a mom. So i wrote this as my final cry for help from her and she said absolutely nothing to it. That ultimately made me cut her off completely.

Feeling like utter crap

When will this end? I feel terrible. Overweight, biggest I've ever been in my life, unsexy, barely get a chance to shower most days, make up is non existent, hair is suffering. Clothes awful. Mood low majority of the time what I do is just a distraction for how awful I feel inside. I am deeply grateful for my children, but I just can't seem to get it together energy wise. My youngest is 5 months.

Breastfeeding troubles

My baby boy is a week old today! For the first two days, I exclusively breast fed but during night 3 we gave him formula because he was clearly distressed and something wasn’t working.
The health visitor then mentioned the next day that he’d lost too much weight and to top up with formula and he’s been so much more settled since and has gained more weight so it’s definitely helping.

I just can’t help but feeling a little bit hopeless. I’m happy he’s happy and he’s still going onto my breast but I feel like time on the boob is getting shorter and shorter each feed because I feel so guilty trying to force him to draw out what he can when he’s hungry and much isn’t coming out and I’m not getting much when I pump either BUT I can tell that I am getting more and more each day, but they’re still tiny amounts (not even an oz from both breasts combined). I don’t know if the issue is that I have small B cup breasts and quite large nipples.

I just wanted to see if anyone else is struggling with BF, has maybe come out the other end and BF has begun to work? I’m mostly coming to terms with he may just have to be a formula fed baby but it still saddens me regardless.

Help, am I in the wrong?

So tomorrow is due to be 26 degrees and my partner wants us to take our son to a park in Central London (over an hour away) probably around 2pm. I know 26 degrees isn't heatwave temperature but surely it doesn't make sense to head out in the afternoon to the park with a 1 year old rather than going earlier when it's not as hot?

Please tell me if I'm overreacting because I can be abit OTT with things like this, and protecting my son from feeling unwell and things like that, but I don't see how this makes sense lol

Also, bear in mind that my son is now on 1 nap for between 2 and 3 hours a day, usually around midday or just before
