baby bottles get lost all the time they're easy to replace. Glass gets busted or lost, despite the eco friendliness.

Plastic I’m clumsy and drop them at least once a week .. I’d go broke constantly buying new glass

Plastic my kids are Rough with bottles

My daughter lol so i use plastic

Honestly with the chemical that comes off plastic when heated we decided to go glass. They are easy to clean and durable. They don't break if you drop it once unless you're using all your force

Glass, both because of the ecosystem and I want to reduce the amount of microplastics my kids consume. We used glass with all of my kids and will continue to do so. Once they get water bottles we move to metal. All of our Tupperware is glass as well. Plastic is the devil. Recent research shows microplatics in the plaque and blood of more than 80% of heart attack patients.

glass. get silicone sleeves if you’re concerned about breakage

We used glass Mason bottle they come w these baby blue super cute silicone sleeves - never broke one ever. They are so cute when I feed my baby in the food court at the mall I have random mums come up and ask me where I got them 😅 I think I told about 5 mums that they’re online only and they’re Mason bottle.
I’ve also done a whole rehaul of my kitchen. So my whole dinnerware and utensil set is matching, pots and pans are all stainless or carbon, and all my spices are in labelled jars. I love opening my dishwasher every morning there’s no plastic in there and it doesn’t look disarray

I gotta be honest I only had one glass bottle and the rest were plastic. But I found that after a while of using the plastic ones there would be a film on them. It was really hard to get off. Like I would boil my bottles and everything. My one glass bottle was a lot easier to clean. And it came with rubber pieces on the bottom and top so it wasn't so delicate. I was still careful with it but it did fall a few times.

We wouldn’t heat our food in plastic so why are we heating up a baby’s food in plastic?!

Glass. They drop and don’t break. We also bought rubber covers for them.
“BPA free” is just another way they fool us. There are so many by Products that come from plastic- not just bpa.

Glass bottles. Cloth diapers. Cloth wipes. I’ve made the switch to all that. When I talk to mums irl they’re shocked because their next comment is “you don’t look the type” I’m curious to know what that “type” looks like then 😅 (I think they assume I’m not crunchy/homestead-looking to use all that lol)

I had both and only got 1 glass bottle left. Hubby and I took turns breaking them all. 😅We traveled a lot and always ended up breaking them on trips.
I let my son (4) watch videos while he’s going to sleep.
He gets put to bed at 7 and is never awake past 8.

My baby just turned four months on the 20th. She hasn’t quite sat up by herself yet but every time she is in somebody’s lap or somebody’s holding her, she’s showing interest in wanting to stand up. When is a good time to get her one of those bouncing toys, I wasn’t sure if we should introduce it yet because she’s not sitting independently or not

Has anyone got any advice. My newborn is 11 days old and I've been really struggling with anxiety about making sure he is OK, feeding schedules, waking through the night and a few other things. I'm seeking help but wondered if anyone can share their experiences?

My baby has just turned three months and I want to start tracking her sleep during the day, does anyone use any apps that are free and they would recommend? I am not trying to sleep train her till next month but I know it will take a couple months to do so I am not worried, I just want to know she is getting the right amount of sleep now and when she is sleeping in case she has too much or too little, she slept last night from around eight ish till about eleven ISH if I remember and the half three ISH for a bottle then woke up at seven for another bottle, had a wiggle in the cot while I chilled out next to her, I have a cold and it's zap me or else I would interact with her, she got fussy around half seven I think and came for a cuddle and slept till ten ISH and then I had to go out on a important errand, which she napped in the car for about half an hour after crying all the way there which was overwhelming but I had to do it, then around two ISH we both slept till five ISH, as I said I am not well so she was in her cot and me in bed and then she asleep around half eight, I want to know this all correct for her age.
Also how does everyone elses three month old sleep position at the moment, I have a very wiggly baby so I won't use a blanket as she kicks it off and has started to grab, so she's in a sleep bag with arms because she can roll over, with great head control and now for the last few months has slept on her side even when I place her on her back then will slowly move around the cot, I always check her but seems alright, video so you see what she does

I always thought you had to wait 2 weeks but chat gpt is saying you can do it whenever & even says you can bath WITH the cord still, which I thought you had to wait for? She’s currently a week old, her cord fell off on her 3rd day. Not sure when we should do it🥹
