Upset

I don't know the post but I'm not surprised. To be blunt, you can't just trust that someone posting anonymously on the internet is who they say they are, I've seen scam posts on here before. Have you looked into help available in your area? There are baby banks set up to help with this sort of situation. Best of luck to you, I hope things get easier soon.

I think as above, people might be skeptical of someone on the internet telling the truth about their circumstances. You can have a chat with your midwife who can point you in the right direction to local charities and resources. I know a local midwife in my area who collects baby stuff from those no longer using them and distributes to families in need. You can also look on Facebook free pages or reuse pages to see if anyone local to you is giving stuff away. Facebook market place also offers A LOT of baby stuff at a fraction of the cost. You could also ask friends and family to gift amazon vouchers or send your lists to them. Charity shops are also great. I use Facebook and charity shops a lot to be honest. I specified on my wishlist that second hand was better from friends than buying brand new. Our play mat, carrier, car seat system, cot, changing mat, books and toys, car mirrors, pram adapters and a bunch of clothes are all second hand. I used second hand with my first too.

I feel your predicament. But honestly I find it remarkable that people share their wishlists with strangers, outside of friends and family for birthdays/Christmas etc. Especially even more so on a mums forum where we are probably all feeling the pinch of raising our own children 🤷🏻‍♀️

It’s just very cheeky that’s probably why. There are lots of things the midwife can help with such as clothes bottles formula not to mention food banks clothing banks etc

I know it’s frustrating, but we’re all struggling
