Anyone got advise on what they do when out and there baby needs to be fed. My baby feeds every 1 to 3 hours and me and dad has no car. I need to run errands but I am allways panicking over where is the best places to feed when out.
I have a cover and the other day I found a dark corner in costa covered us and half way a man came over and started shooting that I should be ashamed to expose my self in public. I was mortified and now terified to try again.

I’d say when these guys grow boobs that can feed a baby then they can have an opinion about breastfeeding in public. You should be able to feed your baby wherever and whenever and however you want. Men like that should be ashamed of harassing strangers and sexualizing women

I bf nearly 2 years and probably at worst had some dodgy looks a couple times. Never covered either. I think if you look confident doing it theyre more scared to say something, and the longer you do it the easier it becomes

Also bf is protected in public spaces, so you can literally call the police for harassment

You can feed your baby any place, any where, any time. You do not need to find a dark corner or cover up (unless you want to).
That man is a wanker. Please don't let him impact this for you.

Don’t let anyone make you feel uncomfortable. Breastfeed wherever you feel you can. I walk everywhere and I used a cover and I breastfed in the park on a bench, a restaurant, cafe, retail shop in the fitting rooms. Maybe try planning outings to places where you know there’s somewhere comfortable to feed, and aim to be around that area when a feed is due.
And the truth is, he should be ashamed. How dare he even glance at you, let alone come up to you and speak. Entitled, disrespectful people like that really p*ss me off. You’re doing amazing, don’t let anyone try to make you feel any less xx
My little boy is a horrific sleeper, he’s almost 9 months old, EBF, and has been waking every hour since 3 months. He’s fine with his naps, but his night time sleep is so bad. We started cosleeping for survival around 3.5- 4 months, but he doesn’t even sleep much better that way than he does in his room anymore. We have tried absolutely everything and I’m currently trying to anchor his morning wake up time and really space out his naps etc but I just want someone to tell me if this has ever actually gotten better! I have so many people give suggestions, but I’m not really after advice, I just want someone who had a baby with similar sleeping habits to tell me that it eventually gets better!

When did your little ones move from the bassinet pram attachment into the next stage? We have a Joie Signature, the next stage is the ‘stroller’ seat but it can be reclined so the baby is still lying down.

I've got the redkite i-savana set with car seat, my little 3mo has been doing a lot of head flops as she falls asleep during a drive and I'm worried as she's not got proper neck strength yet that when we do a longer drive in November it will be an issue. Am I worrying too much or is it time to look to get a different car seat?
The straps were pulled as tight as we could and newborn insert is removed as she's over 60cm. Seat can't be adjusted to tilt back.

Has anyone skipped giving their little one a bath because its gotten too late? Even if they got bit dirty after tea? My little one has a bath tonight usually but cos shes had tea late an her bedtime is soon it just seems right to leave it. I feel bad

Has anyone else received an appointment for a health visitor to come to their home? With my first pregnancy nobody from the health visiting team came to my home until after my son had been born, but this time I’ve received an appointment for over a month before my due date.

Would it be totally bad if I let my baby sleep on their side? Instantly wakes up when he’s on his back 😭
