Nappy changes

Just wondering if anybody else also was disgusted by the thought of changing a nappy! I hate the smell and gag at the sight of it when my sister changes my nephew 😭 Any tips for how I can get over this with my own?

I used to hate it with my godsons and friends babies but when it’s your own you do overcome it as you know it has to be done. Or put a peg on your nose 😅

I think its different with your own!

I take it you haven’t had your baby yet? It’s honestly no big deal, you’ll get over it pretty quickly. I guarantee you spend more time inspecting it to make sure it’s wet enough, and the poop is the right color/consistency than thinking about how gross it is 😅

It's gross at first, especially when you don't know what you're doing and feel like you'll get poop everywhere, but you learn and you get used to it.

Cleaning up after kids goes way beyond just nappies. Kids are messy, and they get sick; you just get desensitized to it over time.

You’ll surprise yourself. I thought my newborns smelt like icing sugar 😅 It’s different when it’s your baby xx

It's totally different with your own, I've changed my nephews bum and a couple of times and hate it when he's done a poop, I gag, but with my own, I've never gagged haha

I was really grossed out with my sisters kids, but as a lot of people have said, it is different when it's your own. Top 3 worst things about having a kid, it's not even on the list for me 🤣

Unsafe use of carriers, do you tell them?

I see so many people with small babies using carriers completely wrong but I never know if I should say anything. And if I do, I don’t want to come across like I’m chastising them, I just want their baby to be safe. Would you say something?

13 Month Review

So my daughter goes to nursery and recently they have reported back about her communication saying it not where they’d expect. Has anyone else had this?

I’d say she isn’t too bad with her communication, she says a few meaningful words, she understands what you say and follows it. She understands gestures like opening and shutting when you say open etc. she points to things she wants.

I constantly talk to her saying the names of objects etc, show her book and name things in them. I sign a lot of gestures that I hope she’ll start to use.

No doubt the nursery are doing what we pay them for by doing observations, and I definitely want my child to progress. But I just feel it’s a bit harsh as I’m doing everything already that they recommend to build communication.

I just don’t know what else to do.

Can anyone help?

Can you lift the a newborn out of the Moses basket?

This might sound stupid, but everyone says you can't do any lifting so I'm really confused about how I'm supposed to get the baby out of the Moses basket at night.
Do you keep the baby on your side or your partner side and have them help?

Finding joy postpartum - really struggling

I’m less than 2 weeks PP and I’m really struggling to find the joy in motherhood.

I wanted this baby so much, he’s IVF and such a conscious decision but I’m so unhappy.

I’m in touch with my midwives, the MH team, tried Samaritans and PANDAS but I’m only feeling worse.

I think it’s particularly hard because he has a tongue tie that means he cluster feeds basically all day and I can’t do a thing. He’ll scream anywhere but my breast.

I was wondering if anyone struggled post partum, and what they actively did to find joy and connection with their baby? I’m truly starting to wonder if I hate it and if I genuinely love him. I’m so clouded with sadness.
