Satan-in-law!

Ohh where to begin! My sister in law has caused a lot of drama during my pregnancy resulting in high blood pressure, panic attacks, and high stress. I’m trying my best to focus on my pregnancy and me and my husband are working hard to ensure our marriage stays strong but she seems to love putting a wedge between us! Baby is due in 3 months, she hasn’t contacted me in 2 months. Is it cruel to not allow her to meet my baby when he is here? She has treated me like crap and turned her whole family against me and also tried to do the same to my own family. She is a liar, narcissistic, manipulative etc. and I don’t want this energy around my child. Any advice??

Post partum hair loss

Would you rather have A) a fussy baby all day and I mean whining and crying but then sleeps through the night or B) a chill baby during the day and one who wakes up once at night who struggles to remain asleep for whatever reason but tries?

You all have the baby you have lol. Hubby and I were having a conversation about this as we have baby B but he said he would rather A bit then again he isn't on mat leave at home all day with the baby. I am just interested what others would prefer.

Are these cot liners ok and safe? Anyone else use these?

My 5 month old keeps getting his arms and legs stuck on the side of the cot. He also has bumped his head too. Are these ok? They’re saying they are breathable too?

Unusual behaviour of my 11 week old

Hi my baby is 11 weeks old, she’s a really good sleeper at night (7-9hrs) and is pretty consistent with day time naps as well, she feeds well and is generally pretty content- however today she has been unusually sleepy, quite difficult to wake up and when she’s awake she just screaming and spitting up clear and chunky, she’s been toileting like normal and she’s had most of her feeds but they are taking ages as she just falls asleep whilst feeding (current feed she’s done 1/3 of it and started 45 mins ago and has been asleep for 20 mins) I have taken her temperature and it’s 35.9 so I called 111 and they said she’s awake and looks fine so don’t worry and it could be the start of a viral infection but might be nothing - I’m not happy with this as this is unusual for her but has anyone else had a day like this with their little ones, or do I need to escalate again

Presents for baby shower

A colleague of mine is having a baby shower for baby number 2.
It’s been a while since I had my own, but I really want to get something practical for her and for her baby.
I’m thinking things like nappies, baby grows for baby. What else can I get?
Also she’s not a close friend, but I’d like to get her something nice too, I was thinking a nice water bottle she can take into labour or after to keep her hydrated.
What other practical things are a life saver in those first few weeks?

Would you let somebody taste your breastmilk?

Like a grown adult who you don’t know wants to try your breastmilk to taste

Would you allow it?
