4th Baby ?

I had my 3rd baby last autumn and he has been my chillest by far, I love the dynamic of 3 but i can't shift the feeling of i don't want him to be my last. No one around me has gone to 3 let alone 4. I know its a whole new level once they are on the move, those who have had larger families did the dynamics change majorly with a 4th ?

My husband is one of 3 and was shafted as the middle- might be something to take into consideration. He said he would only have 2 or 4 ever in his future bc of that. Just one instance.

I grew up one of 4 kids and I absolutly LOVE having so many siblings. Are times together are so loud and fun. I love that kids will have so many aunts and uncles. Maybe I am biased but as a kid with 3 siblings it was the greatest gift my parents gave us. I am the middle child btw!

I'm one of 4 and I love having siblings. Our childhood was great and so much fun, and we are all still really really close.

My partner is also one of 5, my kids have so many cousins family get-togethers are great.

I only have 2 kids, though, and I dont think that we will have any more

I just had my first but i would loce to have 4, if i would be so blessed. I think you should follow your heart and not think of what others might think

Our 4th is an absolute fire cracker 🤣 our third was a super baby- slept, ate, hit her milestones etc and here we are with no 4 being a climber, early walker and very independent. Her siblings love her, but she is hard work 🙈 this said our worry was that one of the 3 would always be left out of games and both me and hubby being one of 4 sealed the decision

I don’t have any advice just that I know the feeling I can’t shake I don’t want my third to be my last also. I am a sibling of four and I love coming from a big family, I’m the second and I would say I’m closest with my youngest sibling who is 5 years younger than me.

Unused nappies

What’s everyone doing with nappies that no longer fit their baby? I have a bag full of size 1 and 2 and no idea what to do with it. I don’t just want to throw them away. Btw I’m in the UK.

Stroller recommendations

Something sturdy but lightweight and not overly pricey ☺️

Exclusively breastfeeding help!

My health visitor has suggested to try and breastfeed more often, but how do you exclusively breastfeeding mums do it?!
It feels impossible to me as I feel like my boy is constantly latched to me.

Also, we have had tickets to the theatre since last yesterday, so how do you leave your baby with someone if you’re only breastfeeding?

Baby is spitting his formula milk immediately whenever that is offered to him? Any advice on that? He’s currently on Kendamil.
