I wondered what opinions are on this. It always strikes me as odd when I see grandparents out with young grandkids. Like where are the parents?

Does anyone know what the actual rules are surrounding when we take baby home after he’s born? I thought we HAD to carry him out in a car seat?

I was only down one step but we both landed on our backs on the carpeted step. She sobbed for a minute like she did when she had her jabs done (which made me cry my eyes out) and then she ...

Im a first time mum and me and my partner both have cars. We’ve already ordered the car seat for baby which will go in my car as I’ll be driving him around the most, but me and my partner was discussing, is it worth getting a second (cheaper, potentially second hand) car seat for the other car when we use that one? ...
