Car seats

Can anyone recommend a car seat, looking at an isofix base and a seat that grows with baby as gets older.
Currently ordered the Jole 180 the downside is it doesnt remove from base and thinking a 2nd car seat with a handle?

Any help is appreciated!

You have to get the car seat that matches the base. Evenflo Revolve180 LiteMax NXT Rotating Preemie and Infant Car Seat is what we have. You're going to want an infant seat to start off with otherwise you will have to leave the seat in the car and take baby in and out of the car. You're not going to want to do that in bad weather or if baby is asleep. Its easier to cover the carseat and take baby inside. When baby gets to big for this seat then we will get one that grows with baby.

Some of the best ones for newborns are avionaut pixel pro or be safe go beyond.

To be honest it's unlikely the joie will give a safe fit for newborn even when advertised as such.

We’ve got a cosatto travel system which is great! Got the ADAC tested seats for slightly higher level of safety testing. The carseat with the handle goes onto the pram and second car seat (which is adaptable from newborn to 12 yrs) stays in the car. The bases are the same so seats are interchangeable.

There is a really helpful fb group called bump to booster - uk car seat support. The admins are helpful and also supply car seats and offer ongoing support when you buy from them

Crazy hair tips

My little boy (white/black Caribbean) has almost two hair textures, he has quite loose soft curls at the front but then an almost Afro texture in the back which goes wild. I use the only curls products for kids (shampoo, conditioner, detangle spray and styler) but after he sleeps it just goes crazy. It’s super knotty at the back so he doesn’t tolerate any brushing/combing - I only just manage with a fight when it’s wet.

Any tips on handling the back section? Heavy products don’t seem to work well given how soft it is in the front.

Refusing nap at age2 help!

My little one is 2y 2m old. She has just all of a sudden stopped napping. Nursery told me they spend half hour with her and she won't sleep and same at home. I'm really worried nursery will stop trying. But she just will not settle down at all all of a sudden. Help please. It's way too early for her to drop the nap!

14 w/o slept for 15 hrs?

She’s 14 weeks. Yesterday we decided to try putting her to bed at 8pm (she usually just comes with us at around 10/11). So we bathed, boobed and transferred to bed by 8. We kept the room dark and she slept there for an hour before waking up. I then took her back with me but she continued sleeping until 11. Woke up at 11, had her nappy changed. All happy as can be. Then slept until 3. Breastfed. Nappy changed at 5. Breastfed. Slept until 7, breastfed. Still asleep now at 11am?

Is this normal? She’s still having wet nappies, feeding, etc. should I wake her? She started trying to roll to her front yesterday, so idk if she’s just tired from the workout 😅

Trike 1 year old winter

It’s my daughter birthday next week and I was thinking about getting her a trike I really like the little Dutch one but then I’m thinking would I actually use it because it’s nearly winter so she’ll be in her pram a lot with foot muff and we don’t seem to go out a lot in pram whilst she’s awake.

Opinions if you’ve got one do you use it or waste of money?

CMPA? (Photo)

My baby is really congested overnight. She’s always congested - but particularly more snorty after a bottle of Kendamil. She’s primarily breast fed with one bottle of formula a day in the afternoon. Her poops are also explosive and look like this. Does this look like CMPA, so sorry for the photo! Two first poops from two different mornings. Will add the second to the comments.
