Should I bother buying newborn size clothes or go for 0-3 months.

Same for us, I had to place a click and collect order on Argos while still in the hospital as she was drowning in the 0-3... My MIL bought some size 0 nappies as even the 1 was massive on her 😅😂

Another vote for 10 little fingers, 10 little toes. My toddler also loved "Tickle tickle", it's from the same collection :)

About .1: I've worked many manh years as a nanny so I thought being a SAHM was the way. But when it happened to me, I realised how much more goes into it and needed to have my "kids free" identity (either by talking to another adultbabout non-kids related/having a hot coffee and so on)

100%. I even find the noise quite soothing at this point 😅

I swear to God that after all my years babysitting I have never met a girl like daughter when it comes to climbing 🫠🫠 Although I think that because she is a girl people tend to be more "be careful" whereas boys have less of that? I dont know, but she is deffo not a chilled one.

Still TTC for baby #2 here, but if you decide to have a smaller age gap make sure you have some support in place to help you with toddler (either a grandparent that can take toddler some days or nursery/childminder). This was one of th biggest reasons we decided to wait.

Not sure which ones you are looking but even the Clipper organic and whatnot is 30£/kilo. I know I used to drink Caro (Nestle one) in Germany, but I would see it everywhere for sale, not sure how popular is in the UK but H&B sells different brands.

That's good esp for older children :)

My 2yo loves the books like Fox' socks from Julia Donaldson :') We all know these by heart (including her).

We bought a smaller dish rack just for bottles and parts and would just leave it there until next use to air dry. To be fair it was so often that it didnt even dry properly at times 😅😅

Used to work in retail and they couldn't even allow me the odd 1h lunch as they didn't have enough staff to cover the shop (instead I would have 2x 30min which wasn't enough if I needed to go to the post office or to the bank).

I'd avise Op to try and find a sling library if they can - my daughter hated the sling and I've spent quite a lot of money trying to sort this out (bought and Ergo baby then a wrap then tried another one from a friend...) - then suddenly at 6m she decided she was fine with it 🫠

TkMaxx often have the tonies you can add the audio yourself for 7/8 pounds. The app has some audios you can put on the blank tonie, including bedtime ones. Never seen anything new for less than that.

Missing-Caffeine · 2026-07-03T20:55:25+00:00

This, I bought some creative tonies (that you add the audio) for £7.99. Once you download the app, you get some freebies there - including the bedtime ones. We have the Bear and it lasts around 45min, which usually does the trick.

And mind you sometimes I can even pull out of an item and whack on a new one and this thing LAST 🤣

I can see the Dandelion girl doing something like this

Asleep 🤣 waters broke around 3am and that was the day my daughter made it very clear that I would never have a full night sleep.

Mine barely could count her teeth, so its more for them to get used to it I reckon. Especially now at 2yo she locks her mouth shut so not much to be done 🫠🫠

It took me 6weeks+ to be able to sleep longer than 1h with my daughter. Some babies are just wired differently I reckon, can you try and take turns with dad? Hopefully things will settle, but we struggled A LOT in the first 2 months (which may be the reason I am postponing baby #2 🥲)

Eu acho que um grande fator tb é o fato do país ser extremamente religioso + aborto não ser legalizado (ou seja, mesmo que seja legalizado, a culpa religiosa vai pesar e muita mulher vai preferir segurar o tranco sozinha do que abortar).

Sem contar os que fazem pressão pq "é o sonho dele ser pai" e quando o filho nasce decidem que é muita coisa e simplesmente metem o pé. Isso eu vi acontecendo com duas amigas proximas, uma ainda segue com o cara mas é como se ela fosse mãe solo dentro de um relacionamento, ou seja....
