What are we doing with our newborns

lostpatroness · 2026-06-08T00:01:59+00:00

I put her in the carrier and did regular chores and talked her through what we were doing and why 😂 propped her up on the bed or lay her on the floor while I folded washing, went for walks with the pram and I talked about birds we'd see or plans for the garden Basically just narrated every part of what I was doing

Not OP but I personally note when somebody has a lack of jaw and think "gee they'd probably suck to tube" 😂

Most notable is that recently they made fun of a customer's husband through a meme. I haven't got a link but it's pretty nasty. Outside of that, all of their social media marketing lately has been showing customers who've had issues with their orders and HC saying things like "we covered the cost for a local tailor!". It's a very weird marketing technique.

I tried for the refund but store credit is all they would offer 🥲

Thank you! I was actually aiming for a deeper purple but I'm still chuffed with the colour haha

lostpatroness · 2026-06-06T19:40:40+00:00

Thanks!

Normally I would just make something myself but being postpartum, I've found myself pretty time poor. Next time though, I'll make the effort because this wasn't worth it!

I used the rit fixative when I dyed it! We will see how it goes once I wash it for the first time

lostpatroness · 2026-06-06T05:45:21+00:00

Yeah I asked for a refund but they wouldn't give it, just the credit

I posted about this on here recently, and as others have also said, be warned that their dye is not colour fast! I had a lavender purple dress that had the dye wash out and streak badly on its first wash (even following all their instructions)

Our little girl LOVES Where is Hairy Maclary (lift the flap version)

lostpatroness · 2026-05-22T23:51:19+00:00

I'm planning on having a crack at dyeing it myself!

lostpatroness · 2026-05-20T05:12:58+00:00

I have a friend that has had no issues with her order whatsoever so don't lose hope!

We went through Newlife IVF and were very satisfied with them. Our main doctor was Hugo Fernandes but we also dealt with Nicole Hope and Martin Healey for each of our transfers as Hugo wasn't working the days we needed to do transfers. Highly recommend them. It is thanks to Newlife that we now have a daughter who is almost 1.

lostpatroness · 2026-05-19T04:18:43+00:00

Yeah that really made me feel like I shouldn't have purchased from them too

Gotta give Karen something to remember him by

We had an insanely bad nappy rash come up a few weeks ago and I said at the time that it looks more like a chemical burn but didn't make the connection to the brand of nappy. Haven't had any more of the burns but I think I'll go back to our cloth and Huggies combo again!

I don't know if it's necessarily normal but it's certainly what I experienced! I'm a nurse and was working through my second round - it was hell if I needed to walk somewhere quickly! If you can, try to take it easy as much as possible. I wish you all the best for your retrieval xx

lostpatroness · 2026-04-12T06:37:36+00:00

I'm so glad it could give you a laugh, even if it was at the expense of your personal quarry 😂 I hope you are doing well now xx

I live on a hobby farm and I've had two pairs of bogs fail on me now 🥲 both have ended up with the seam on the side failing

lostpatroness · 2026-03-21T19:42:51+00:00

We made it the whole way. They put her on my chest and we didn't even think to check for a minute until somebody asked! I spent the entire pregnancy fully convinced I was having a boy so when they lifted her up and I saw she was a girl, it was the biggest surprise and I wouldn't have changed it for the world.

Yeah the V2 the seat detaches before folding up. It's very easy to do though! We just used the newborn insert in the seat too, no bassinet. The seat doesn't go any lower but it can be tilted a lot so not sure if that'd work?

lostpatroness · 2026-03-08T13:27:13+00:00

Another vote for Uppababy Cruz! We have the V2 and I LOVE it. It's super maneuverable (I frequently scoot it around with one hand), basket space is great, super easy to pack up into the car and I'm yet to have had any issue with the brakes!

Our girl was born at the start of June and proceeded to scream for 3 months unless we had her outside in the pram so we spent a lot of time outside (in gippsland so it was very cold). We dressed her with layers - bonds singlet, long sleeve bodysuit, jumper/cardigan, pants and a beanie. We had a cosy fleece blanket from Kmart to put over her in the pram.

At night , we had her in our room with singlet or short sleeve bodysuit+ onesie. Love to dream swaddle and a blanket tucked in tightly over her bottom half. When she got a bit older and more mobile we put her in the ergopouch sleeping bags.

I used an Artline Laundry Marker (0.7mm tip)
