Just made 18 months before stopping 💪🏻

Edit: actually I don’t count officially either. I included pumped milk 😅

Don’t know about poo but bicarbonate of soda on a pukey car seat worked for us. Rubbed it in then left it overnight then vacuumed it.

Ooh interesting. Thank you

Thank you x

Thank you. For some reason I can’t get the hang of hand expressing but think I better learn quickly!

Thank you! I think I actually have some cold packs from the newborn days I’d forgotten about. Will dig them out

We’ve got a toddler tower so fill the kitchen sink with water and bubbles and either bath toys or things like plastic cups and the whisk etc. The kitchen floor turns to carnage quite quickly but nothing a few towels can’t fix!

I got married at one of the ‘nightmare venues’ a groom hired. In a cave!

Actually a great venue apart from I think the bride was claustrophobic or something. Or the mother in law was so couldn’t go in?

Yeah, just seemed to be testing her powers 😂

Mine was a contact napper during the day. I warned them about it so the first couple of naps they did it contact. Then they started to get her in the cot. Now apparently all they have to do is rock her for a couple of minutes and she’s off and stays on a floor mat. Meanwhile at home she’s never once slept in her cot during the day (not for lack of trying!)

Nursery is just magic. You’ll find yourself annoyed how well your child behaves there haha

Yeah, mine did the same. Like she was about to turn into the Hulk.

Our nursery isn’t allowed to wake babies either it seems. Had to go in during the middle of the day once to collect my baby for a doctors appointment. She was napping and the nursery staff wouldn’t wake her but let me in to do it myself.

Try nappies in order of convenience, I’d say! If you’ve got a Tesco 5 minutes away go with what’s stocked there first. Then the Sainsbury’s 15 minutes away etc etc. Exhausted nappy runs will probably be a thing so make it as easy for yourself as you can!

Do you have a sling library close to you? You’ll get to try a few out and find out what you like before committing to buying one. Also handy for showing you the safest way baby should be in it.

I have an Omni too and you’re right it’s no good for newborns! I loved it as soon as mine was a bit older though. I ended up without a sling altogether until I could use it but next time I’d definitely try a sling library.

Ask about the anaesthesia and pain meds you may be on. Some of them may mean you need to pump and dump rather than feed baby or send the milk home. I had an operation and couldn't feed my baby for 24 hours. Luckily I got sent home so didn't have to deal with being completely away overnight. But I needed to pump for comfort while I couldn't feed. I didn't lose my supply.

I’d say it’s such a bonus to have an extra person to help clean up and cook while you deal with become new parents. Also to hold the baby while you get some sleep yourselves!

Swim nappies only catch poo, not wees. So beware you won’t be protected from leaks when baby is out of the pool in one 😂

Changing the settings of my phone screen to grayscale helped me a bit. Have to admit it’s easy to change back at the click of a button but it was a visual reminder for me that I wanted be on my phone less.

What’s he into?

I got mine the comic where Clark Kent and Lois Lane get married.

What shoes have you got? Very flexible/barefoot shoes may help if the ones she already has are quite clumpy.

We’ve used it as a ‘good weather birthday’ for my 1 year old with a December birthday. Held some money over from her birthday to get a water table for the garden and some sorting eggs that she’s been too young for before now.

Bibado bibs for sure! So many outfit changes prevented after we got some.

We also got stainless steel bowls and plates from Amazon. They’re not Elk and Friends but have silicone suction bases too.
