Silly question
My baby doesn’t fit in her newborn car seat anymore, so we got her a new one but it’s currently fitted in hubby’s car and he’s not around.
I need to quickly step out would a taxi/Bolt driver let me have baby on my lap, or is that a definite no? I’m pretty sure I know the answer, but just wondering

I think its legal to ride with no car seat in a taxi. But legal doesnt mean safe. I think you need to decide whether its important enough. My hubby doesnt drive and we were discussing this just last week, if im not about and theres an emergency etc
It's legal in a taxi but it's not safe
Most, if not all, taxi companies won't allow you to ride with a baby without a suitable car seat as they would be open to being sued if you were involved in an accident while using their service. Sounds harsh but you have to ask yourself, is your quick errand more important than your baby's life if something happened. Best left until another time when your car seat is available.
How bad would it be to still use the newborn carseat? Like is it way too little? If so aren't taxi companies sometimes provide normal infant car seat?
i always use a taxi with baby on my lap. its fine and completely legal
You may request a taxi with baby/infant car seat.
Yes it's legal, but it's not safe, unless what you need pop out for is life or death I'd stay home.

Sleep train
Hey mums
When did everyone sleep train their babies and what method did they use?? I’ve got a 5 month old and I feel like it’s to early and he’s to little but Google says now is best

2 year review
I just had my 2yo review today. And honestly that could have been a phone call. She didn't look at the questionnaire at all, barely interacted with my son and didn't weigh or measure him.
Is this normal or should I call back and ask for more? I'm not concerned about his development etc at all. It just felt like a waste of time tbh.
Edit: I also felt a slight judgement when I told her he's not in nursery yet as I work from home. We go to plenty of playgroups etc but she was like: oh ok...

2 month old grunting constantly
My 2 month old is grunting and squirming almost constantly. If hes awake and not feeding then it seems like is squirming and grunting about 95% of the time. I thought it was infant dyschezia, but is it normal for it to be all day long? He poops about once or twice every other day.

Pram
I was wondering when are people planning on changing their little ones into the seated pram rather than the bassinet? My little on is 3 1/2 months and got good neck control!
