Free stuff?

I’m 21 weeks today and so far haven’t explored any of the freebies. I tried to sign up for one of them but it ended up wanting all my details and I ended up getting nothing. Which are easy and actually worth while?

Emma’s Diary app is great you get 2 free bags of things! I got a bottle, nappies, vitamins, wipes and there’s vouchers as well which come in handy! You have to download the app and then go to boots/argos to collect them.

The boots parenting club gets you a few freebies including baby bubble bath, shampoo, a bump sheet mask, folic acid & vitamin d and a tommee tippee bottle and soother. If your partner has a boots card too and also joins the parenting club you can double up on everything 💪🏼

At what stage of pregnancy would you suggest you sign up for these? I got some freebies and vouchers however they are expiring soon and I'm still in the first trimester.

Mums who have been through all the baby stages

Which stage did you find yourself wishing away the most? Not necessarily which was the hardest bc for example a certain stage might be hard but also really rewarding which counteracts the hard bits. Which stage was overall your least favourite? Please let me know all the details in the comments 🙏 What was hard, what was good?

Washing baby clothes - is it a necessity

Baby no. 2 and very unprepared lol and wondered, is it really nesseceary to be washing every new baby clothing item?! I did with my 1st, but is it going overboard?!
Also means taking tags off when it may not get used!

When does it get easier!!!

Parents of older children, what age did you find life got easier? My toddler is 2 and 1/2, everything seems like a fight, getting dressed, brushing teeth, eating dinner, leaving anywhere like the park, tantrums are constant!! It’s honestly exhausting and getting me down. What age did people find everything just gets a bit easier???? I know there is an end in sight but just curious when 🙈

Inconsolable crying

We had our baby on 1st July at 39 weeks via csection because she was breech.

At 6.8lbs she’s healthy and has been doing well.

I’m trying to breast feed which is generally going alright, though she doesn’t have a great latch. I have a lactation consultant coming Monday.
Yesterday she would give feeding queues and then not latch, so feeds were harder.

At night she was inconsolably crying from about 12:30 am until about 4:30 am. I’d changed her nappy, her clothes for comfort, I tried feeding, we rocked and bobbed, walked around, skin to skin, shushed and sang, checked her temperature and just had no luck.

It’s horrible to see her get so upset and worked up, when I know she’s too young to get colic too. Just wondering if anyone else has had any similar experiences? I’d hate to miss a sign something is wrong.
