Hey Mama🤍

I’m doing a little survey and would really love to hear from other parents. Your honest opinions would mean so much!

🤍What baby or children's product do you wish existed but can't find?

🤍What's something you've bought that turned out to be a waste of money?

🤍 What's one product you couldn't live without?

🤍 What do you find yourself buying over and over?

🤍 Is there anything that's overpriced that you'd love a more affordable version of?

🤍 If you could improve one baby product, what would you change?

🤍 What's something that makes life with a baby or toddler harder than it should be?

Please don't feel like you have to answer every question, just one or two would be amazing if that's easier for you. I know we're all busy, so any thoughts or experiences you can share would be hugely appreciated. 💕 Thank you so much x

Changing tables in my opinion can be a waste of money, I use puppy training pads! Can put them down wherever and cheap to replace.

I'd love a more affordable version of that product that helps when a child is choking! Brilliant product but quite expensive.

One product we can’t live without is our brown noise machine- our area is so loud especially during celebrations and firework nights and we sleep through it all because you can’t hear a thing. Very useful on holidays too.

I personally found the 0-6 months buggy bassinet attachment a waste of money as I used the sling a lot in the newborn stage and carrier after, and she grew out of the bassinet by 4m. Would’ve been better off with a pushchair with a converting seat than separate parts. Our crib was also a waste of money since she wouldn’t sleep if not on me.

Nap location during the day

Where do people put their baby to sleep during the day?

She’s outgrowing her Moses basket at 16 weeks, and think she hates sleeping in anything she can touch the sides of.

Any ideas other than her pram? She wakes in that too because of the sides.

Has anyone ever faked a pass ouy or death?

I usually do different emergency things that could happen with my kids and yesterday I only had my 2yo son and 3yo daughter i pretend to have fainted (im 36 weeks pregnant) My daughter was on her device so she really didn't pay me any mind but my 2yo kept calling me and opening my eye lid thats when my 3yo came over looked at me and said "mom can you put this code in?" Lmao 🤣 do I need something more realistic or something for her?

Sleep

Why won’t my baby sleep past 5:00am!!😩 he’s 4 months old and I think we are right in the sleep regression but he hasn’t really gone past 5:00/5:30 ever! His bedtime is normally 7:30, but this doesn’t matter as if we are out and come home a bit later he still wakes up at the crack of dawn!! Anyone the same?

Cuttting formula to make it stretch?

Is there anyway to make 14oz stretch? Longer than 2 bottles? Ive heard people adding purée or baby cereal

Nursery settling in days/ Naps

What are we doing about settling days that clash with baby’s nap ? I have 3 settling in days in August, first one is 1h , and the other two are 2h, they all start at a time where baby would go down for a nap which is between 9-10am but they can still change by the time they come so not sure what to do? Any advice please? TIA!

Dramatic?

Hate even talking about this but I am a FTM really struggling. I cry most days and was recently diagnosed with PPD. My partner knows this as I am open and honest with him. He has been so supportive and helps with everything regarding me and baby. However, yesterday I saw that on his Instagram he was looking at videos of half naked girls. I’m honestly so upset and I know it’s not really “wrong” but feeling the lowest I have ever felt and postpartum and knowing that’s what he was looking at really hurt me. Am I being dramatic?
