Joie car seat - seatbelt

Hey everyone. We have the Joie car seat and it’s driving me mad because his arms keep coming out no matter how tight we have it on his shoulders, so his arms will then be fully out and it ofc makes me anxious and I can’t do anything when driving or in the front. Sometimes I stop to try and out the straps back on but they will be off and down his arms a few minutes later.

Does anyone else have this issue and how have you managed to sort it?

Had to tried looking at the height of the straps? Like where they are in the back of the seat. They're meant to come out of the seat below baby's shoulders. My toddler keeps trying to escape from her car seat (not a joie) so ive been looking at our options

You can buy a Clip that goes between the straps to keep them up 👍🏼

Get a fit check, who’s your retailer? If you get no luck with them you can ask in the Car Seat Advice UK group on here. The only crash tested clip that can be added is the besafe belt collector, but it’s likely a fit issue causing him to be able & incentivised to get his arms out. It may also be because the straps are too tight. In the meantime put his seat in the front passenger with the airbag turned off so you can keep an eye

I have the Joie car seat too, the 360 one and mine does the same, I'll look in the back mirror and she'll have her arms out! It's tight on her legs though so I can't pull it any tighter, not sure what to do

Big penis

Women who have had sex with a man with a big penis(like 8+ inches) what was your experience? Ive only been with my husband and hes pretty average (6.5). Is bigger really better?

Please tell me I’m not the only one 😩

Today has completely thrown us. My 11-week-old was awake for around 6 hours with hardly any proper nap, despite us trying everything to get her to sleep. She’d yawn, we’d try to settle her, but she just wouldn’t go off. To make it even harder, I think she needed a poo and was bunged up, so her sleep and hunger cues became really confusing.

Our health visitor wasn’t concerned, but I’m finding it so hard to know what to do when she seems exhausted but just won’t sleep.

Has anyone else’s baby had days like this? What worked for you? Did they eventually grow out of it?

I feel like we’ve got it all wrong today. It’s not the first time it’s happened either, so I’d really love to know we’re not alone ❤️

Struggling…

I’m really struggling at the moment. The cluster feeding is exhausting. The loud crying is heartbreaking and frustrating in equal measure. I lose my patience so quickly, especially doing the night feeds. My back is killing me. I feel so isolated and lonely even though I have a partner and family surrounding me. I could just cry constantly. We’re 5 weeks in and it just feels like it’s never going to get better. I love her so much I just wish it would be a little bit easier some days..

What time does your baby go to bed?

My babies 7 weeks and we just put him to bed when we go to bed which can be like 10-11. Unsure if I should be making an effort to do so earlier? He does basically contact nap on us the whole evening

Advice please- poorly toddler

My son randomly got unwell around 4:30pm tonight. We was out visiting family so I bought him home and he was sleepy. Tested his temperature when we got home and it was 39.1 and he was very sleepy.
He had 5ml calpol at 5:45 and the temperature was 39.1. At 6:30 it was 38.2 so I tried to give him some milk and he only drank 4oz, usually he’d finish the whole 8oz and fell back to sleep. I’ve put him in his cot with a fan oscillating just checked it again and his temp is 37.8 but he’s still very sleepy.
It’s usually his bedtime anyway but do I try waking him and see if he properly wakes up or do I leave him to sleep and see how he goes in the night?

He was shivering earlier which he’s never done with a high temperature before so I’m extra worried he’s going to be extra sleepy even though his temperatures came down I’m not quite sure what to do. Any advice will be appreciated please x

Please help

My husbands dad, every time we are with him he has my 2.9 year old daughter sitting his lap and he starts running his fingers across her legs and arms and opens her belly and rubs his fingers against her belly then says does that feel good? And I don’t know if this is normal but I feel like I could burst into tears watching it. It just doesn’t seem normal but maybe it is? Please let me know if I’m over reacting?
