Changing bag…

What type of nappy changing bags are people going for?

I keep seeing the same style on Amazon and it’s really putting me off them 😩

I don’t want to pay a fortune for one but also don’t want a ugly looking one 🙈

I’m going to get a new one and going to go for a backpack style. The “handbag style” can get very heavy.

Cath Kidson do some lovely handbag style ones.
John Lewis has quite a decent selection. X

I’ve got a black leather one from Mamas & Papas, it looks more like a normal bag than a changing bag. It wasn’t cheap but we used a gift voucher someone gave us when my first was born.

hahaha I have the same one too😆 it’s so handy though space for EVERYTHING! Spends 99% of the time under the pram anyway so I wasn’t too worried about how it looked it was definitely practical 😄

Storksak ones are very nice in comparison to the amazon ones but definitely have the price tag to match they do go in to sale now and again though 🙂

definitely has space for everything! My mums face would drop when she saw it as she knew I’d have it packed to the brim 😂
We only take a little bag with snacks out now as my first it toilet trained… but the big one will be back out and will definitely be big enough for both kids stuff ❤️

same it’s more his overnight/toy bag when we go somewhere for the day now 😆 it’s going to be odd having a big bag again in June !

same bag over here too 🙋🏻‍♀️

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?

Postpartum

I’m only 3 days postpartum (FTM) and already have extremely bad anxiety. I’m crying every night, as I think of another night of no sleep. My baby will not settle in his cot, he cries every moment we put him down unless in his chair rocker. So me and my partner are having to alternate after 3/4 hours of being awake with him downstairs. I’m trying everything to get him to settle. It’s a load of overwhelming stress. I’m 23, I was desperate for a baby and now I have one and feel completely useless. I miss it just being me and my partner.

When does it get better?

I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....

Night time routine

Heya, my 3 week old daughter is currently exclusively breastfed and I’m not pumping. Can anyone recommend the best way to share the load with my partner? At the moment I’m doing all the feeds/burbs/settling and my partner is sleeping through which obviously isn’t sustainable, I’m trying to work out the best way to get him involved. Any advice very much appreciated!

Rant/WWYD

My sister (youngest, 24) has two kids, 4 & 1, and i (oldest, 30) just have my one who’s 6mo old right now, so i ask her for advice or call her to vent about things sometimes. Well im tired of her turning around and telling my other family members that I’m “losing my sh*t.” Literally have not lost my sh*t nor have i ever freaked out to her about my baby, i just call her to talk and tell her what stage my baby is in or talk through how im feeling, but she chooses to tell people that im like a complete nutcase or something which worries me that my family is going to start being judgmental about me as a mother or looking at me funny like I’m some fragile ticking time bomb.

What would you do in this situation? I’m already pretty much decided that I’ll stop telling her anything about my struggles, but I’m almost at the point where i feel like it should be confronted because she, of all people, should understand what I’m going through.

Rapid cool/ hot shot method

Sorry if this sound stupid but how are we doing the hot shot method?
Are we boiling the kettle and letting it cool a little before adding to hot flask? Then with the cool water do you boil the kettle and leave it to cool right down before putting into another flask?
My baby brain is fried trying to work out the easiest way!
