Nappy bin - worth it? Angel care vs tommee tippee ?

Hello
I was wondering if getting a nappy bin is worth it or not ? Or do you just use a scented bin bag ?
We also have a dog and where we live there is no bin outside so we have to put the poop bags in our house , so I was thinking maybe it’s worth getting one for the scent as it could double for the baby and our dog ?
If so, do you recommend the angel care bin or the Tommy tippee ? I’ve heard that some people say even the Amazon recharge are expensive and they just use a scented bin bag (with we do, from Costco).
I’m a bit lost of the topic
Thank you ☺️

I just got a small bin with a lid from ikea and scented bin bags. I only put pee nappys in it though. Any poo ones go in a nappy bag and straight into the outside bin. No nappy bin, no matter the technology, can defeat the smell of baby poo!

But I would defo have a seperate bag away from your usual bin and living space for the poo

I wouldn’t bother personally. They don’t actually hold very many nappies or any smell very well (we had the tommee tippee one) and were just a faf! We just bag and put in the normal bin. If you’re breastfeeding their poo doesn’t actually smell that bad x

I have a nappy bin, but don’t use the liners, just a regular bin bag. I find it’s a little more air tight than a regular bin

We got the tommee tippee one as a free gift with the Amazon wishlist.
It's good, but once we ran out of the bags it came with we just use it like a normal bin with scented nappy bags. It is pretty good at keeping smells in, but I'm not sure any better than a normal bin with a good lid.

We have the tommee tippee twist nappy bin. We absolutely love it and so glad we invested in it. Contrary, to what the previous mama said, it really helps with the scent as we dont get any once nappy is in the bin. It was worth it to us.

The refills are expensive but we found an absolute steal on shein so we buy in bulk from there and it does the job.

I got an adult diaper bin from Amazon. It holds a lot more, the liners are cheaper and it controls the smell

I use the tommie tipee one but only put wee nappies in there & use the Amazon refill bags !

I've had some super painful realizations since having another baby almost 4 months ago. Anyone else with more than 1 child experience that?

A lot of big feelings about my parents and myself as a mother. I had a big one today about myself as a mother.

Pram

Hi, when did you change the pram from the carry cot to the seat? My little boy is nearly 4 months and just wants to look around everywhere

6 week old won’t sleep in crib!!

Is this normal? I’m not expecting a full night of uninterrupted sleep but she won’t even settle for 20 minutes without crying and I’ve seen previous posts from you all where some are sleeping through or are at least getting 2-3 hour stretches with your LOs. Am I doing something wrong? She’s still yet to spend a night in her crib before I give up after the 10th transfer (using all the special methods) and hold her for the rest of the night which is becoming v unmanageable!
She’s gone through phases of settling up to an hour but these days as soon as her bum hits the warmed scented mattress she’s awake! Someone help and tell me this is normal and it will change (soon I hope!!)

Belly dropped

So I am 34 weeks +1 with my first and I think my belly dropped today. It literally feels like he is between my legs and I have to pee constantly even when I just went. So I panic bought everything I need for the hospital bag and postpartum care. How long after belly dropping did you go into labor?

Has anyone else had completely conflicting advice about overnight feeds?

My little girl is 10 weeks old. She struggled with her weight initially, but she’s now 5.84 kg and gaining well.

A week ago we were told it was absolutely fine to let her sleep and not wake her every 3 hours overnight anymore. We’ve finally started getting the odd 5–6 hour stretch, which has been amazing for both of us.

Then today, a different health visitor told us that advice was wrong and that we should still be waking her every 3 hours because breasts are always producing milk, babies don’t know it’s night time, and there are hormones in overnight milk that she’d be missing out on.

Now I’m completely confused! 😅

Has anyone else been given conflicting advice? If your baby was gaining weight well around 10 weeks, were you still waking them every 3 hours overnight, or did you let them wake naturally?

14 weeks advice for a FTM

I have a very active little boy and even when sleeping he’s flailing and kicking, he’s touching his face when he’s sleeping and even puts his hands in his mouth. Do I get him up to feed him or leave him as he’s still asleep?

I have been getting him up when he’s been moving about in the past few days but tonight I thought I’d leave him but I don’t want him to be hungry :/ he is formula fed and does eat a good amount in the day.

Is this a case of enjoy the sleep or yes he’s stirring get him up to feed?

Sorry if this is a stupid question!
