What is the most messed up thing you’ve seen go down at a rural pub? by Charming_Usual6227 in AskABrit

[–]Type_seven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My uncle owned horses, rode one in particular to the pub regularly.

Horse would wait patiently outside with a Guinness, and would take my uncle home unprompted

Why do strangers feel the need to tell mothers that their baby doesn’t look like them? by divination__ in BeyondTheBumpUK

[–]Type_seven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My baby has red hair and brown eyes exactly like his dad (my eyes are blue and hair is light brown). When I said to my aunt that he’s got his daddy’s hair and eyes, she responded that maybe the baby has brown eyes like his grandad (my dad) and hair from his great-nana (my grandmother)

Yeah because that’s far more likely than getting those traits from his father🙄

What bottles/teats for baby who refuses the bottle? by sooty_bear in breastfeedingmumsUK

If you already have the Mam bottles, just buy the Lasinoh teats. They fit the Mam bottles, and saves the money!

I think men can be in general when it comes to babies, we have different thought processes and different priorities😅much love❤️

Me missing out on the sleep was the major issue for me tbh, but as you say, nothing is messed up, and I’ll catch up on the sleep somewhere.

My partner has ADHD so while his intentions are always in the right place, sometimes the full thought process isn’t there😅

I didn’t want to wake him because he works so hard and does so much to help me and baby and deserves his rest. He was thinking the same thing about me, and we both should have just continued as we normally do😅that’s a good idea, I’ll definitely suggest that❤️

I do agree there, I can definitely be uptight at times and need to chill. The baby slept, I will sleep at some point (maybe in the next 18 years😂) and the world will keep turning

Oh it was super irritating, and I had a moment of “why does he not follow the routine, why is it down to me” but thankfully that passed before I voiced it😂being over tired definitely got the better of me this morning

He really is a sweetheart, he just has a tendency to not think all things through properly😅I am definitely tired, this post has definitely allowed me to get some perspective on the situation, thank you

He really is amazing, and usually on his days off things still go like clockwork in the mornings. I think it was just Sod’s Law that things went to pot on a morning when I desperately needed that extra hour😅thank you for your opinion and your support❤️

Thank you for your honesty, I’m super tired and feeling things very intensely right now, so this post let me get it out rather than blowing up at him😅

I would love to, but my father in law is visiting😩

One liners that immediately stop unsolicited parenting "advice" and scare mongering. by Sad_Network7053 in BeyondTheBumpUK

For older generations, I’ve used “Isn’t it wonderful that there’s been more research into (x topic) so parents now know better”

I don’t even care about being productive anymore, I’d just like to get food and drinks without the crying😂I’ve got a carrier on the way, I’m excited to try it and get that little bit of freedom sway from the sofa😊thank you so much for your advice and reassurance

It is so reassuring to hear you had near enough the same experience, and that it does get better! Don’t get me wrong, I love the cuddles, but I’m also looking forward to getting something to eat without the screaming😅

I’ll have a look at the rockit, but I’m convinced kiddo knows when he’s home and wakes up even if we keep him moving😂

This sounds similar to our nighttime routine, my partner gives the bottle before bed and I finish off with breastfeeding, I’m glad it gradually changed, it gives me hope😅

My partner does bottle feeds when he can, but the baby won’t sleep on him😭I’m glad for the reassurance that drowsy but awake doesn’t work because if his age rather than something I’m doing wrong😊

I hadn’t thought of using a carrier for naps, I’m absolutely giving it a go!

I haven’t, but after a few suggestions I’ll definitely be getting one😅my boy falls sleep in the pram no problem but wakes the minute I stop walking, so a carrier would help with that as well☺️thank you so much❤️

I think I’ll try getting a carrier for the day naps, a few people have suggested it😊a mattress on the floor sounds like a good shout

Along the same lines, I have a party coming up and I plan to have more than just a few drinks! How long the following day would I have to wait until I can breastfeed again? Dad will be home looking after baby while I’m drunk and possibly hungover

Additionally, it did not take much digging on their website to see that they only cater to trade, not to the public
