Nappy bag? (UK)

Does anyone have any recommendations for a nappy bag? My baby has outgrown hers.
I'd need it to be waterproof ideally, fit under a buggy rather than on the handles, backpack style, and room for the general stuff with pockets. I have slight hand disabilities so easy access would be great!

The choice is overwhelming online so thought I would see if anyone has one they love before I buy a random one.

I was going to buy a kids back pack to fit all things in as I feel it would be more useful than a nappy bag specially because when there old enough to go to nursery can be used then too get your moneys worth x

I got one from amazon which I think is brilliant. It fits so much stuff and goes under my pram. It comes with a change mat and coin purse too!

Ive got a walking mama backpack and it’s served us superbly so far!

I got this one from amazon because I needed something big for a trip and it's been great. I formula feed so I need something on the bigger side to fit all the bottles, flask, nuby etc

Honestly, use any bag you are comfy with! I just used my own backpacks and handbags both times 😊

How to help baby sleep independently

My little girl is 2 months tomo and I currently have to rock pat and shush her to sleep. If I dont put her to sleep she will stay up and be extremely overtired. I cant even sit and rock she will fuss and cry until I stand up. I see others put their baby in the crib and they fall asleep themselves and mine is not capable of doing that. Its so exhausting and even if shes too young now I would love some advice on other peoples experience on how they moved away from rocking their baby and started encouraging them to fall asleep on their own/using other cues to help them fall asleep. She doesn’t like being swaddled and refuses the dummy she will make faces and gag so they dont help.

Spilled milk

What do I do? I was giving my 9 month old her bedtime bottle and it leaked through her bib onto her sleepsack and bit on her vest got wet too. Am I ok leaving it on her? She's asleep an dont want to wake her to take it off. Just worried about leaving it thats all. Anyone been in same position?

Car seat - HELP

So my daughter is turning 1 in November and she’s so tall for her car seat but I know she’s still too young to be in a forward facing one. Her feet have to be in an awkward position and I’m just unsure on what to do.

Does anyone have any car seat recommendations or something else I could be doing to make her more comfortable?

Thank you 💕

Breastfeeding

Hi everyone! ❤️

I have inverted nipples, and unfortunately, I wasn’t able to breastfeed my first son for very long due to health issues and difficulties with latching.

I know there are pumps and other options available, but I’d love to get some support and advice before my second baby arrives.

Does anyone know of any local breastfeeding support groups or services? I’d also love to hear from anyone who has experience breastfeeding with inverted nipples. Any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated! 🫶

Newborn Sleep

I hope this comes across in the best way possible but looking for some advise. I am a ftm to a 12 day old.

She exceeded her birth weight at 9 days old and our midwife said to not stress too much in the night as she will wake to feed before 4 hours. We questioned if she didn’t and she said she will so don’t stress - anyway last night she went nearly 4.5 hours and then I woke her up? I am kind of confused as to what the rules are on this so many places say different things!!!

Very grateful for a good sleeper and conscious it could change in a day or two but want to make sure she’s getting enough!

Thanks

Baths

How often are you bathing your toddlers? Every night, twice a week, etc etc?
