I was there for 9 days so took a while pack, if you run out the hospital will provide you with some x

I think I took like 10-15, but was only in 12 hours with both babies. First baby I had a bag of spares in the car so wasn’t carting a massive bag around but had more available if need be

Literally zero. (No to be fair I brought some but never used them) Hospital provided all we needed plus the extra to take home.

I took around 10 but had a spare pack in my husbands car if we needed them he could just go get them x

The hospital provided all the baby products needed plus more to take home with us. 🥹Wishing you a healthy and happy delivery, Mama! 🫶🏾

I have packed my bag today and packed 20 nappies. You normally go through 10 per day in the early days so I packed for 2 days just in case. I’m in the UK and pretty sure my hospital didn’t provide nappies. X

Funny thing is ,you could literally just show up at the hospital with nothing and they will have everything 🤣🤣 but I must pack a bag.

As you're UK based and in the UK hospitals don't provide nappies: I'd take enough for 2 days (so at least 20 nappies)

Will this heal?

My sons fell over and bit his tongue this morning but took a chunk out 😭

Controversial maybe but a 2.5/3 year old should NOT have a dummy (pacifier) in public.

When I drop my son off at playgroup, there’s often toddlers with dummies in their mouths.

I get that they’re a comfort for them etc but they are old enough to not ‘need’ to have one in their mouths during the day!

Useless husband

Right, our 9.5 month old had a terrible night. Some of the wakes were 30 minutes apart. My Husband didn't help once. Didn't even wake up to our son crying.

The baby woke at 5:30 and I managed to get him back to sleep and he woke at 6:30 for the day. I'm nudging and tapping my husband to wake up and get him as I just need an extra hour of sleep. He didn't budge and I'm not leaving my son to cry so I go get him. I wake my husband and say it's time to wake up as I've been up all night so not fair for you to sleep in when you've had uninterrupted sleep. He said why didn't I wake him!? Why would I spend 2 minutes waking you when I can go and settle him in 30 seconds.

Anyway, my son's getting bored in the bedroom so my husband says to take him into the living room. I'm standing waiting for him to get up and follow as he's still laying down on his phone. He told me just take him and give me 5 minutes to wake up. Which I followed with I didn't get 5 minutes to wake up to which he replied angrily I DON'T CARE. ok rude. I'm now sat in the living room crying. It's been 30 minutes and he's still in bed.

Not really looking for advice just a tired fed up wife.

Moving baby to their own room

Hi all, did anyone move their baby into their own room early? My little boy is 5 months but is getting too long for his next2me and keeps knocking himself against the sides and waking himself up in the night. I am thinking of moving him into his cot in his room but unsure?

6 hour stretch at 6 weeks

I know I should probably just be happy about such a large stretch of sleep overnight but is this normal; my first didn’t sleep that much until he was probably closer to 2 years old!! May baby is breastfed and I cannot remember what the norm is

16 month old

Anyone just saying No all day and dealing with screaming constantly
