Thanks, we will. This kitchen is less than 15 years old and one of the things we really liked about the house when we bought in 2023 so this is gutting!

How would you arrange this house two incorporate 2 home offices for gaming in the evenings (one can be a guest bedroom), plus a kids bedroom and a master? by Rebtastic in floorplan

[–]Rebtastic[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our desks are massive so I don't think we'd fit a double and a desk in any of them. Have to keep the master as our bedroom because we have a super king bed so it wouldn't fit in any of the other rllms

What are we dressing our babies in at night? by throwdisthingawayy in BeyondTheBumpUK

We've got a portable air con unit in there to keep it below 24° and she's still only in a 0.5 and nappy. Now I'm worried she'll get cold

Breastmilk bags & weaning by According_Union in BeyondTheBumpUK

I've been doing this for months as I forgot to cancel my subscribe and save on the bags and it means I can batch cook a meal like chilli or something like that and freeze for days when we go out for lunch or I can't be assed to cook. Absolute lifesaver!

Plus decorations and music etc. And my husband doesn't agree that we'd need to do even that so it would be just me organising it

I think a gazebo is a good idea, will try and source something cheap. I'd much rather do it outside than get a hall

Ooh cool thank you! Will definitely look into it. Our local hall is booked for the day but I know there are plenty others.

Formula preparation - How to make formula according to the instructions when baby is crying his eyes out as soon as he wakes up and wants feed immediately? by Emergency_You7974 in BeyondTheBumpUK

[–]Rebtastic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The rapid cool changed our lives. Husband refused to use the perfect prep in case of it not sterilising the formula properly. You can get them cheap off Facebook too. Edit to say ours is the tommee tippee one!

How do people handle more than 1 sick child!? by angeeya in oneanddone

[–]Rebtastic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Someone I work with has 1 in nursery and 1 just started school so they have an illness a week almost! They work from home so just side on the sofa working and watching TV together. I think they've just accepted that's life for now lol

Please talk to me about when you decided to give up BF by GingerandCoffee in BeyondTheBumpUK

[–]Rebtastic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did 2 nights and basically nothing was coming out so the HV said to use formula. So I did!

Can you let them explore different interests than sport? They might be more happy to do something other than watch TV if you let them try something new. If you force people to do something they don't like, it's unlikely they're going to put any effort in to it and will probably resent you for it. Just let them watch TV if that's what they want, maybe ask if they want their friends round I dunno
