Christmas presents!

Hey everyone! What are we getting our babies for Christmas? My boy will be 7 months and I have absolutely what to get him. This is my first baby so developmental wise I’m pretty clueless on what they can and can’t play with at his age. If anyone has any recommendations please send them my way, thank you!

My baby boy will be 8 months and i have no clue what to think of getting him but i dont have a job or money as well

Ive got my little girl a ball pit, a stacking ball drop and shape sorter. Ive asked for the tissue box toy that is sensory play, suction cup spinners, and lots of different books. We are mainly getting her a tonie box though. She will be 7 months x

What does a 7 month old do with a tonie box?

My 3.5 yr old got a tonie box last Christmas and barely uses it which is a shame. I will however be getting some of the tonies aimed at babies for the baby to listen to.

Although they’re still tiny, think of the things they’ll need for the year ahead, ie. Clothes, books, toys for the stage above them at the moment. I’ve been looking out for a pickler triangle for my baby and preschooler to share.

My baby will be having her brothers old wooden toys wrapped up 😅 activity cube, stacker, car ramp etc
I won’t spend money this year as she won’t have a clue!

Honestly they won’t remember and other people will likely get them presents. I will be doing a stocking for my 7 month old as her older brother still believes in Santa and I don’t want him to think Santa forgot her. Then will take her to see some nice Xmas lights which she will like x

I will be getting my boy some wooden blocks that doubles up into a walker.

But side note this app is to support a community of mums. A few of the comments were quite judgmental about a Tonie box, no one said anyone had to buy it.
Just remember kindness goes a long way x

Probably just a couple of bits in his stocking and a wrapped present then we'll put money into his savings account to match what we spend on our 3 year old x

Anyone else feel like as soon as their baby turned 8m old they are acting like a completely different baby? She's become noticeably more difficult as far as behavior.

Please tell me what your experience is with your 8m old.

Help!!!!

Someone please help me with some advice because I’m losing my absolute mind 😭
Baby is 5 months old, she has changed a lot in personality over the last month, more needy, sleep changes etc but have put it down to the 4 month regression and teething.
However, the problem that makes me want to literally cry is the car seat! She is totally inconsolable now every time she’s in the car. Why? And what can I do to help it?!

Sex after having a baby

How long did you leave it till you had sex again after having your baby?

PP things I hate

Everything is stress induced anymore
My daughter has this ongoing diarrhea for 2 weeks now and I’ve gotten no sleep from it, I now have a canker sore from it, my acid reflux has more flare ups than ever. I don’t like having sex anymore (I love my partner and I still find him very attractive). Im way too overly touched (by the baby, by the dog and by him). Im 10m pp and I haven’t been able to wear a dang tampon! I don’t do pads because they are just not for me so I wear a diaper.
Please tell me if you relate to any of this at all? Or if I’m just crazy

Postpartum hair loss

Let’s see it ladies.
You’ve got to laugh or you’ll cry, let’s be honest 🤣

Edit: this is what I caught in the shower and does not include anything that went down the plug, anything that stayed on my comb, anything still attached to my body when I got out or anything that was still in the bath when I was done ✌️.

Returning to work

Hi,

My little one is 6 months old. I will be returning to work when she is 1. She will be going to nursery. Is anyone else filled with anxiety and dread about leaving their little one. Any mums that have done it and had positive experiences. It is all I can think about and I still have another 6 months to go.

We had a traumatic birth so I am wondering if this is affecting how I am feeling too.

Any tips/support/advice greatly appreciated 👏
