So my boy is nearly 5 months old and has recently started rolling over onto his stomach so he can watch the world as we are pushing him around a shop
He has great head control and is nearly sitting up by himself
When is the right time to swap from the laying down attachment to the sat up 5 point harness?

My boy is 4.5 months and we have trialled the buggy twice because he can sit up well and ours has a bit of an incline anyway but he absolutely hates it, screams and cries as soon as we put him in. I think it’s the idea of being restricted with the straps, we’ve made sure they’re not too tight but he just screams so we’ve continued to use the bassinet because he loves it he’s just getting way too big for it. Luckily he doesn’t have any room to roll in the bassinet but would much rather be on his tummy in it too😂 I would say try it and see if he likes it, mine definitely doesn’t yet🤣

I switched at four months as he had good head control and health visitor said as long as we can see him and the push chair parent faces and also reclines which is does!
He started to reeeallly hate the carrycot as he was nosey and just wanted to see everything. Its made a bit difference and where needed we can just recline and lay him flat! 😊 x

We had to switch at 3 months as we hit 9kg.
Lots of seats are suitable from birth in the reclined position.
If baby is happy in the bassinet and not sitting unaided and is under 9kg no rush though x

I have the same issue. Mine is nearly 9kilo but only 4.5 months. His head control isn't enough yet.
My buggy isn't suitable yet as it doesn't recline flat.
So we're going to outgrow the bassinet before we can use the pushchair because he has to be 6 months for that

It reclines but the seat is bucketed. I.e. doesn't lie flat. So its not great for their hips really.
My August baby decided she wanted to be a September baby! Liliana made her appearance on Friday at 1:20am via an assisted delivery - my induction and labour was horrific but it was all worth it to have this gorgeous girly in my arms!

Does anyone know if I can give gift bags to nhs staff? My baby was in hospital for a little while (not nicu) when she was born so thought it could be a nice yearly tradition to give some gifts to the staff of the ward to teach my baby about kindness and generosity

One of my biggest cravings has been a roll and bacon with tomato sauce. I go to college and 99% of the time I get a roll for breakfast. Is it petty if I speak to the woman who serves it, she always gives me bits of bacon with no fat and I feel like it ruins the roll. Tbf I’m likely going to throw it up anyway but I really want the fat, it’s the best part.

Just finished folding and putting it away a month of laundry (I’m 4 weeks post partum as of today) while hubby fed some of what I’d pumped to baby - and still need to shower and eat dinner. It’s 12:15 AM 😭

I feel so stressed.
Has anyone else had issues with numbness in their leg since their c section?
