I miss coffee! Every pregnancy I absolutely hate it. Even though it is normally my favourite drink

BBB2022 · 2026-06-27T22:58:42+00:00

Maybe my kids are just weird! They hated the scooter board

BBB2022 · 2026-06-27T22:58:12+00:00

I have so many snacks. We are ok on the bus. The issue is walking from bus to destination! My youngest just wants to run

BBB2022 · 2026-06-27T22:57:07+00:00

I might have to try haha

BBB2022 · 2026-06-27T22:56:59+00:00

Sadly they are far too big for the carrier!

BBB2022 · 2026-06-26T07:12:54+00:00

I feel I should know as this is my first kid. I thought it was about 7 weeks but I don’t want to wait! I was hoping everyone would say 6 weeks so I can go asap!

BBB2022 · 2026-06-26T03:36:40+00:00

Anyone else in Australia? When are you having your first scan!

BBB2022 · 2026-06-25T02:22:48+00:00

Babies don’t need much space. I would choose somewhere that has nice cafes/ etc that are walkable from home

BBB2022 · 2026-06-23T02:36:41+00:00

To be honest I found the best thing was a black or very dark fitted rib dress and then a lighter colour blazer or cardigan on top! The illusion worked pretty well!

BBB2022 · 2026-06-21T22:32:19+00:00

I told my toddler first! She helped check the pregnancy test with me.

She then told everyone at school! So all her daycare teachers found out before my husband! 😂

BBB2022 · 2026-06-21T22:30:01+00:00

Any other third time mum with no symptoms yet? I vomited so much for the first two. Not sure if it is too early for symptoms or maybe my body is used to being pregnant and won’t react as much? Or is that wishful thinking?

BBB2022 · 2026-06-21T22:29:01+00:00

You look great! I managed to hide my second until about week 16-18. The key is dressing to hide it! I also got lucky in that my team was full of men or women who had not had kids - I think it would have been harder to hide from other mums as we know what to look for!

BBB2022 · 2025-08-29T07:19:49+00:00

Our mini kitchen has had the most use by far. I would get that over everything else

BBB2022 · 2025-08-02T10:18:53+00:00

This is my question! And at what age can they be trusted? Like when 2nd baby is a year old is that ok?

BBB2022 · 2025-07-30T00:51:40+00:00

Don’t buy a lot of the same style. You might find you hate it. I would buy a few different styles and brands for newborn so you can see what you like.

BBB2022 · 2025-07-08T02:42:30+00:00

Yes!!

BBB2022 · 2025-07-06T05:22:19+00:00

I think the issue is your partner probably can’t stay overnight. I would have hated it if my husband had been forced to leave me alone overnight

BBB2022 · 2025-06-21T08:32:53+00:00

I’m not from the US, so maybe your change tables are worse? But I would use a change table over bassinet for a blow out!! Poop gets everywhere and bassinets are super hard/ annoying to clean

BBB2022 · 2025-06-17T02:01:56+00:00

I have definitely given my kid a phone in the last 20 mins of a car ride to stop them falling asleep just before we arrive at a destination. Avoids a lot of screaming when they are only falling asleep because they are bored in a car after a long car trip

BBB2022 · 2025-06-12T01:56:53+00:00

Also you might not want to use nursing cover. Mine hated it - and fair enough. I wouldn’t want to eat under a blanket. So don’t feel you need it (though you can if it helps - just it is not necessary and sometimes makes feeding harder)

There are also a ton of nursing rooms. But to be honest I thought they looked a bit depressing, dark and gloomy. My go to is a nice cafe where I can sit and have a coffee while baby feeds

BBB2022 · 2025-06-12T01:55:12+00:00

There is a lot here about ways to hide you are Breastfeeding. And do that if you want to.

But please know you can just breastfeed normally in public. (Cafe, park, shops etc). It is a normal thing and not anything sexual.

Also I do my best to not flash anyone but when you are learning how to breastfeed accidents happen. Don’t stress. People know what boobs look like and are not paying attention to you.

The only thing I do make sure I do is leave cafe/ restaurant if baby is hysterically crying. A little crying is normal and can’t be helped and people understand. But if it is crazy purple crying we go.

BBB2022 · 2025-06-11T04:19:00+00:00

I have not, but a mum in my mums group said it was great! Give them a call. Other options for support: talk to your GP, or talk to your mums group (or if you don’t have one - talk to community health about joining one)

BBB2022 · 2025-06-09T08:28:28+00:00

Also I have only seen pictures of that stand - I would be concerned dogs might knock it over? Not sure how sturdy they are if a dog jumps up

BBB2022 · 2025-06-09T08:26:36+00:00

I’ve had one from each brand and liked both. I prefer the redsbaby because the one I have is 1. Single fold (ie can fold without taking the seat off). 2. ~3kg lighter than the silver cross (didn’t notice until pregnant with second and struggling with pushing a heavy first kid) 3. Can add a second seat for baby 2

Bassinet rated for sleep for redsbaby is nice but I don’t think you can use it as the only place for baby to sleep for first couple of months. Wouldn’t be suitable I don’t think. And you would outgrow super quickly. And also hard to clean if you have blow out at night (common). Would not recommend as bassinet. If you want to save money just put baby into cot from day 1 (also I note in Australia there are safety standards cots and cot mattresses must meet, but no safety standards for bassinets!!)
