2 month routine
Is anyone in any form of routine?? I am struggling with the nighttime part. We get to 8pm and he just cries constantly but can’t seem to settle him to sleep. Usually he goes to bed around 10.30pm.

Mine is like this! Doesn't matter what I do 🫠
I've tried routine and no routine and it doesn't make a difference 🤦🏻♀️
It will be like this for a while
I have a 10 weeker and he has no day time routine as such he feeds every 2-3 hours and sleeps more than he’s awake however at night time he has a bath every night at 8.30 -9 it knocks him out has his bottle then is down for 10pm latest.
He will then wake around 2am 4.30 and 7am after his 7am bottle he goes back to sleep until 9-9.30 then he has another bottle followed by a wash down and dressed.
We call it the witching hour, every night at the same time she seems to just be so unsettled from about 7.30 till about 10pm, then she’s good through the night, wakes for her feed every 3-4 hours and goes back down pretty easy
My baby girl is 7weeks old, a bath on a night when she is becoming unsettled usually works a treat for her, she also loves a Muslim on her face it sends her to sleep straight away!

Pregnant with #2! Sudden panic about how I’m going to feed a newborn with a toddler 😬
I’m due soon and my first will be 17/18 months when their sibling arrives.
I’ve just had this HARD realisation about feeding. With my first we could spend hours sat on the sofa breastfeeding (especially in those cluster feeding early months). How on earth do I deal with my toddler when I’m trying to feed a newborn??
My partner started a new job so only has 2 weeks paternity and we don’t have any family close by. I’m sure my mum/mother in law can spend some time with us but I am panicking.
How did you mamas do it please!! 🩷

Boy mom to be/ Grieving the future I had pictured
I’m having a boy. 💙 And honestly, I’m really sad and hurt about it.
I know some people might think this sounds immature or that I should just be grateful, and I am grateful. I love my baby already. But I think I’m grieving the little girl I had pictured in my head.
With everything I’ve been going through and all the pain and hurt I’ve experienced, I think a baby girl gave me something to look forward to. I imagined having her as my motivation to be strong, to do this on my own, and to start a new chapter of my life. I pictured the bond we would have, and I think I was holding onto that image more than I realized.
Finding out I’m having a boy brought up a lot of emotions I wasn’t expecting. And I feel guilty even saying that because I don’t want my baby to ever feel unwanted or unloved. He is wanted. He is loved. I’m just having a hard time adjusting to the future I had imagined being different.
I know one day I’m going to look at my little boy and wonder how I ever imagined my life without him. I know I’ll love him in a way I can’t even understand yet. But right now, I’m allowed to be sad too.
I’m not sad that I’m having my baby. I’m sad that I had to let go of the little girl I had already imagined in my heart. And I think it’s okay to admit that. 💙

Do I have a right to be upset? /is my husband wrong or am I ?
So this past week our 5 month old daughter has bin getting up only ONE TIME in the middle of the night for a bottle and rocking back to sleep. (She is a easy baby it takes nothing longer than 10 maybe 25 minutes to get her down) well he’ll get up go get her from her grave and then I’ll go sleep on our couch and co sleep with her. We have a two year-old who also brought into our bed when he was younger because it was easier for him to do nights when he was in our bed.. I never wanted to co sleep I don’t like co sleeping its dangerous but im most afraid he is going to build up my daughter to be dependent on going to sleep contact you get me. I’ve told him over and over I don’t like you co sleeping with her bc he doesn’t even follow the safety 7 it’s dangerous and I think he’s being lazy. All he says is im going to do what gets me the most sleep. On another note tho he doesn’t bother me and lets me sleep he handles nights 85% of the time so I feel like I can’t complain either cause he doesn’t complain and is just trying to find something that works for him but idk guys I don’t feel like it’s safe the way he sleeps with her and I think she will eventually grow harder to put down bc of the contact sleeping at night.. he says well she stays asleep tho like yea no shit that’s why parents co sleep to get that rest but I just personally don’t believe in it I think it’s lazy parenting please don’t come at me for it but idk guys is my husband wrong or am I ? 😭😭😭😭😭😭😖

Baby wipes recommendation
My baby is due in December, and I’m finding it difficult to know which wipes to start buying as there are so many brands to choose from. I’m not sure which brand would be best to start with.

Traveling abroad with 7 month old
Hi all, we are traveling to Majorca from UK with our 7 month old and was just wondering what everyone does about a car seat? We have a private transfer booked from the airport to hotel but won’t have a car seat for our son. We may also take a few taxi rides when we are there. What do people do??

Highchairs
2 under 2. Currently have the joie highchair but will need to get another soon when i start weaning baby & this one is bulky!!
I have been told to get 2 ikea highchairs as they are stackable. My toddler has chunky legs - can anyone provide pics of the ikea highchair with a toddler in lol? Or can anyone recommend a highchair that has straps and not the bit in the middle of the legs for my toddler?
The website only has pictures of a smaller kid in it.
Thanks !
