I mean, we’re all Feb 2023 so I don’t see how a few weeks would make a difference. They’re middle of the school year so I see no reason to defer tbh, it hasn’t even crossed my mind as an option to consider. But all kids are different and I think our daughter is going to enjoy school and get on well there. Some might benefit from more time, only you as parents can make that call!

For us my boy is so ready for school now , so I didn’t consider it . I think the only reason I would is if I had a July / August baby and they seemed behind their piers , but all kids are different so just have to judge it on your own child . I think legally our kids have to be in school the term after they turn 5 so from Easter so I don’t see how a full year deferred would be allowed x

When did you cut your baby’s hair for the first time?

My little boy is 14 months old, and has gorgeous curly hair, but it’s starting to get quite long in the back. He has a natural baby mullet going on 😂
I don’t want him to lose his baby curls, but I also don’t want him to have a scruffy rat tail 🙈

4 week old tomorrow

Second bubba my first was completely different. Tips to get newborn to sleep at night in next to me, I’ve tried everything she just wants to latch on all night(breastfeeding) I’ve tried white noise, rockit zed, sleep sack, swaddle ect. I don’t like co sleeping it makes me feel uncomfortable and also due to loss of 4 year old.

Washing clothes

When do we stop washing new clothes before baby wears them?

Bath

How are we bathing our babies now that they are ALOT larger and more wriggly than when they were first born? I currently use the bath in the picture, but my girl now sits independently and keeps wriggling and sitting up and nearly falling out of this now. What's everybody using now? Unsure what the best upgrade is and what is available? Shes still wobbly when sitting so would hate for her to not have anything in case she flops over and bangs her head in the bath. TIA

Routine?

Have people got their 4+ week olds in a sleep/eat/awake routine yet or just winging each day?

Marriage problems

I have a 7 month old baby and me and my husband are first time parents. We’re both always stressed and I’m dealing with ppd and ppa. We’re are constantly bickering which turns into fights at least 3 times a week and I’m so tired of it. I’m hoping this is just a rough patch and things will get better but sometimes I think about leaving him and now I can’t get that idea out of my head. Has anyone else gone thru major relationship problems after having a baby?
