I’m a psycho I was gutted when my baby smiled at other people at first 🤣🤣

I’m dealing with this currently! My 9week old boy (2 weeks corrected) has just started cooing and smiling, but only does it with my husband. I’ve tried for days and he just doesn’t respond to me the same way. I get so jealous, I feel like he doesn’t like me very much! It’s actually driving me crazy 😅

I tell myself it’s because my baby (10 weeks) still thinks he’s part of me so when he looks at me he just sees himself or like an out of body experience 🥲 makes me feel better about him chatting and smiling more to dad 🥲

Not really as my baby cries a lot more with other people - even her dad, it’s really hard because it means I have to have her most of the time and can’t have partner help take her while I do things

Do I really need an infant car seat?

I'm struggling with the wastefulness and consumerism that comes with creating a baby registry. So much of this stuff will be used for 2-3 months and then donated or trashed. I noticed that most of the convertible car seats are good from 4lbs to 50lbs. Can I just use that or do I need an infant car seat too?

Breast pump advice

Hey! I have been breast pumping since my baby was born mid-July. I’m just past the 4 week mark and my supply has dropped. I did see that this is common “week 4 reset” thing. I pump every two hours and am trying to eat and drink more (didn’t know how hard this would be as a first time mom lol)

My main concern is that the last week or so, just my right nipple has started to crack/so sore and is pretty freaking painful now while pumping. I have gone up and down a flange size and use nipples cream to assist with rubbing but nothing is working.

If it doesn’t get better I may have to quit and I don’t want that 😭

Any recommendations? / advice?

How do I prepare my velcro baby for nursery?

He’s 11.5months, spends 24/7 with me, exclusively breastfed, only transfers to cot when in deep sleep and cosleeps at night. I am so scared of traumatising him when he goes to nursery full time 😭

Apps recommendations for sleep/feed etc

Hey, does anyone recommend any good apps they’ve used to track sleep/wake cycles and feed timings? My 10 week LO fights sleeping the day and I want to start tracking wake windows etc to ensure I’m doing what I can to help him
Get some sleep during the day

Boy problems

barefoot shoes not ugly in uk?

can anyone recommend some NOT ugly barefoot shoes for toddlers in the uk? i’d prefer my daughter to be in barefoot shoes until she’s old enough to ask me for other shoes she wants, however her feet have always been long and she’s quickly outgrowing her other barefoot shoes. i love the look of the duckies shoes but the biggest size they do is a size 6 if i’m not wrong? which is the size my daughter is currently in so no point buying those but the barefoot trainers in my opinion look awful with all the different colours on them🤣🤣
