Little angels nappies

Does anyone find these nappies ALWAYS leak??? I’ve used Fred and flo & pampers and had no problems but the little angel ones always leak for us but I know a lot of people love them?? I find they’re softer than Fred and flo but I just can’t get on with them I’m having to change my boys outfits so often

Car seat!

My 4 year old uses the high back booster with just the seat belt across him, however all he does he constantly pull it, tuck it under his arm, lean out to his younger brother.. Is there any gadgets which will effectively lock it in place? I don't think he'd fit in the 5 point harness type anymore..

Getting baby off dummy

My little girl is 6 months & I would love to get her off the dummy, she only uses it to go to sleep & to resettle herself if she wakes up. I would like to get her off the dummy as I’ve heard it’s harder the older they get! Is 6 months too soon? Also any tips to stop using the dummy would be appreciated! TIA x

Introducing bottle feeding (expressing breast milk)

My baby is 3 weeks, and I’d like to start pumping some milk just so I can get some sort of break from breast feeding constantly. The problem is I feel so guilty for wanting to do this… any one else feel the same? I love BF but it’s so demanding and hard sometimes… I’m stuck!
