Crib/bassinet transfers
Everytime my first attempt at crib transfer fails, the second attempt always fails too. I then finish it as a contact nap. Only if I get it right in first attempt does the baby continue with the nap in the crib. After how many minutes do you re-attempt if it fails once? Any tips / suggestions on what I could do differently?

If they woke up on transfer id continue as a contact nap I wouldn’t bother trying again personally. My son didn’t even crib nap until about 8 months they were all contact naps haha.
It's completely natural to have contact naps. Its society that tried to separate mum from baby by saying we need to put them in cots and walk away. Just slow down and appreciate this beautiful time in yours and their life. Everything else can wait ❤️

Ftm 31 weeks pregnant advice please 🫶🏻
I’m so excited and trying to get organised but not sure if I’m rushing. All advice welcome❤️
1. I’m having an elective c section what after care bits were actually helpful? Are the silicone patches worth it when did you start using and what brand is best? Was a peri bottle still necessary for cleaning the downstairs area or not?
2. Maternity bras. What ones would you recommend and also when did you get them I was thinking of getting them pretty soon but also not sure if they’ll fit by the time I need them or did you just size up or waited till closer to the time?
3. When did you start washing baby clothes and packing hospital bag? I pretty much have everything we need already so I could pack now I just don’t know if I should wait. Same with washing babies clothes etc I plan on washing all newborn and 0-3 months initially then bigger sizes closer to when she’ll actually need them but I still have 8 weeks how early did you start washing clothes and organising drawers etc?

Help!
My daughter was a late walker at nearly 20 months but this one is determined to climb, cruise, move at not even 9 months. Any tips on helping him move around safely when I’ve got him and his sister (3) to watch?

Comfy bras?
Is anyone else still wearing nursing bras even after they’ve stopped nursing because it’s just comfortable?? Because hi 🙋♀️. I would like nothing more than to retire them as war heroes but what are we all wearing as alternatives? Does anyone have recommendation for comfy supportive cute bras? ‘Cause the girls do be needing more support after 9 months of nursing. I was looking at the Knix no underwire ones.

What do we think about this, am I being dramatic for being annoyed ?
Last time my in laws saw baby, she was super unhappy because she was hungry (The mum kept saying to just give her a dummy) I left the room about 5 times to breastfeed so they hardly saw her.
Last night we visited them & I made sure I even topped up with formula to avoid that situation happening again so they can have some nice cuddles. She had been awake for ages then fell asleep on the 5 min car journey there.
When we got there and put her in their arms…all they both did was complain that she’s sleeping and kept saying “do something” and kept shaking her arms and legs and poking her face and saying “wake up”.
I explained to them to please do NOT wake her as I’ve literally only just got her to sleep 5 mins ago so she will be super unhappy, she will just cry and want boob. Did they listen? No.
She’s a newborn for Christ sake. When she’s awake she doesn’t do much anyways. What do they expect?
The mum then phoned her neighbour and asked if she wanted to come see the baby (didn’t ask me if that was ok, this person is a stranger to me). She came in with her husband and child, all started touching her….they all visibly had a rotten cold !!!
After some time, they admitted they were really ill. I just looked at my partner, hoping he’d say something in that moment.
But I mean, the damage was already done. They’ve all already touched her and got up in her face.
Every time I visit my in laws they do stuff I’m not happy with. Just puts me off seeing them every time.
I can’t mention it to my partner because any time I do, he gets defensive and angry at me🤣
