I’m due to have a baby this month and have left it a bit late so looking for ideas ASAP for a big brother box for my May 2023 boy. Just a few little bits from the baby/us to make him feel special.
I’m just struggling for ideas of what to put in it! Probably a couple of bits to keep him busy whilst I’m breastfeeding baby.
I was also thinking of a small teddy he could give the baby, and the baby could give him a bigger version of the same teddy.

That sounds like a lovely idea. I'm planning to do the same when my December baby comes. I was planning to breastfeed so was thinking to make a box with some of his favourite things to do e.g play dough, space colouring books, some self adhesive craft kids from hobby craft, maybe a few hot wheels cars to play in the toy garage he has. It's not much but its all the things he likes. Hope that helps x
Finding it super difficult to make mum friends at the moment! My little boy is nearly 10 months and I haven’t succeeded in anything more than a few messages or if I talk to people in person at a baby class, it’s just a quick small-talk convo and it never goes anywhere! Feeling a bit deflated because I’d love to have a small group of like minded mums to chat to as none of my friends are in the same stage of life as me ❤️
Sorry to sound mopey, just feeling a bit lonely!

So not someone he knew before he met you, just a new person that he met through work, hobbies, mutual friends or whatever, and became friends with.
Assuming the new friendship is the same as his existing friendships, and the ONLY difference is that the new friend is a female

After the baby we had sex a few times in the first few months but now it's probably been about 3 months since we last had sex. I'm 11.5 months postpartum. My sex drive used to be low. It ain't super high now but I want sex but my husband is always tired. Granted he worked shifts and it's been hard trying to find time to fit it in around baby's schedule and his work schedule but now he's off work for a couple of weeks and he just doesn't initiate. Neither do I anymore because I can't be asked with the rejection. So I've resorted to masturbating and a vibrator but I want some real flesh man I'm bursting. I posted on another chat before and ladies said he sounded depressed etc as he doesn't look after himself well with eating and always being tired but how do we get out of this rut? Other aspects of our marriage is good but sex is important and at this point I feel like I'm begging.

I know it’s a little early, but what is everyone buying their little ones for Christmas?
