Your thoughts on Newborn Bath Robes?

What are your guys' thoughts on towel bathrobes that can only fit newborns/infants?
I keep trying to use mine, but I never ended up using it.
My next one is coming, and I want to use it bcuz I think they're so cute but once again I think I'll never use it because it's impractical.

After bath I prefer to wrap baby in big baby towel rather than arms hands into robe and then redressing all over again.

I also prefer to have baby just change in and out of clothes rather than put baby in robe and then take it off to put baby in the bathtub.

By the time baby can sit up have more downtime, this bathrobe doesn't even fit baby anymore.

Personally I use ours at the doctors office.

Cute, but not functional. Take some adorable pictures in it a few times, but don't trouble yourself with it every day.

I wore my comfy fuzzy robe everyday for the first 3 months postpartum & getting my son one just made sense to me lol

We bought one in 0-3 months and another is 3-6 months! Was just thinking of finding toddler / little kid sized ones again recently lol

I only use them starting at toddlerhood personally, I like using our big cushy towels and cuddling in the newborn stage

We loved it more than towels! Especially for the drs office! Very functional for us we never had any issues. It also kept all our babies super warm after baths (we keep our house cold year round)

I’ve always seen them as a waste of money. I don’t think they are practical. It’s easier to wrap baby in a towel and dress them quick after a bath

What to do 😩

My daughter is a side sleeper. I put her down on her back every single time and she rolls onto her side and will fall asleep. She's never rolled over onto her tummy yet but I'm paranoid waiting for the day she can and I won't sleep again until she can fully hold her head up 😩😩😭😭 she's 2 weeks and 5 days old.

I've tried constantly moving her back onto her back, every single time she moves onto her side or fusses until I let her. Once she's on her side she'll drift off into a peaceful sleep. I'm forever constantly checking her to see if she'a breathing or rolled onto her tummy and gotten stuck.

The picture is of the position she will get herself into every time. With her hand under her head. I'm lost for ideas please help 😭😩

No interest in sex

I have NO interest in sex anymore. I'm so touched out and tired by the end of the day i don't want my husband to go anywhere near me. He has gently brought up that i might be struggling a little postpartum. He feels the distance between us and has said he is worried about me. I'm about to be 1 year postpartum with my second baby. Is this normal or should i be seeking professional help?

4 YO refusing nap

My 4YO is taking a hard stance on no napping. I know he’s age appropriate to stop naps but the trouble is him falling asleep at 6PM and sleeping the rest of the night.

Not sure what to do as I navigate this territory.

Had sex with husband and hes easier to be around

I mean....we were not intimate for years because I wasnt feeling it but we started being intimate these past two months and boy I tell you. Like a changed man. Is this really how easy it is??

Ever had these thoughts?

Honestly it breaks my heart thinking about it when the thoughts come up.. but have any of you ever thought to yourself about "maybe my child would be better off with someone else"? I have but mainly because there's so many problems here. He's loved and supported and well fed and healthy. But we have very little money, I can't drive due to medical issues, he has medical issues himself, I'm recently divorced but live with my ex(no where to go)... I'm the main one taking care of him even with others around.

Feeding

How much are all your little ones drinking in a full day? My little girl is 9 weeks tomorrow and drinks between 120-150ml fir each bottle she goes every 3 hours ish but will then tend to go for a long stretch through the night as we give her a bath to settle her for the night. Shes had 750ml for this entire day.
