Nappy bin

Are nappy bins actually worth it? Baby girl is due next month and I’m buying the last bits and bobs but I’ve heard mixed things about nappy bins! Would only be used in the bedroom to save me going up and down the stairs during the night but I’ve been told to save my money as I won’t actually use it that much?

We had one and it was great as they’re designed to keep in the smell. We didn’t get one that needed inserts or anything like the Tommee Tippee ones. We switched to a regular bin a month or so ago and change it more often if anything as it smells much quicker x

Unless you’re using reusable nappies I’d say they’re not worth it, you can just throw disposables in any old bin.

It depends how ocd you are lol I just chuck the nappies in a nappy bag and take it down in the morning 😂

We just use nappy sacks that you tie up and throw in the bin. Never had any issues with those

Not for us. I used it for a week and never again. We just throw nappies in our general bin in a nappy sack and take it out daily.

Use ours all the time, even now he only wears then at night. I think it depends on your bin collection situation. Our black bins are skinny and only picked up every 3 weeks so no space for nappies. We have a nappy collection every 2 weeks and have to put them out in a big sack so having the nappy bin is great for us. I think if we had the bigger bins and they were collected more frequently we probably wouldn't use it much.

Contact naps

At what age do contact naps become less regular? Don’t get me wrong, I love how serene he looks and love that he feels safest with me and 75% of the time it’s actually nice to just sit down with him and enjoy the moment. However, there are some days where I just feel a little drained from the constant-ness of it and I feel like I’m trying to get things done/look after my needs in his wake windows when he’s happy to go in his chair and watch me but then feel terrible for the lack of interaction with him where he’s my sole focus and tummy time, etc.

Nursing Chairs

Hey everyone! I wonder whether I can get some people’s opinions on nursing chairs.. Are they worth it? Do you actually use them? ☺️

Breastfed bottle refusal

I haven’t used a bottle of breastmilk in months for my baby because I haven’t needed too. I wanted to see if he would still take it as I am away with him and my friends next month and fancied a drink. He has just completely rejected the bottle, the Philips Avent and also Mam bottle. I am trying him with an open cup for water but I know that takes a long time. I don’t go back to work until a few weeks before he turns 1 so he is going to need to take pumped breast milk from my husband before he can have cows milk drink at 1. I am thinking if he can use a cup he could have his milk from that. Has anyone got any advice or recommendations please?

C-Section Scar Itch

My baby girl is turning one in a few days. So ofc, I’m almost a year PP. I’ve noticed for the past few months, my c section scar gets pretty itchy. Is anyone else going through this? How long will this last and how can I get relief?

5am wake ups!

My 10 month old keeps waking up at 5am and we can’t figure out why. He’s usually asleep by 7.30pm and then seems to wake up at 5am. He will then fuss for an hour and eventually falls back asleep. I know it’s not the fact he goes to sleep at 7.30am because we’ve tried later times and it’s not light in his room because we have blackout blinds. Can’t seem to figure out why it’s 5am that he wakes up??
