Husband bought a snot sucker. But a manual one where I am literally sucking snot out of her nose. All time parenting low 😂🤢


I saw my 12 year old cousin the other week and the amount of crap he came out with 😂😵💫if you eat a poo will it come out a poo?! Honestly what’s wrong with you
I bloody love the snot sucker I find it so satisfying 😂

Husband is having a night out. Why on earth am I nervous about looking after the baby alone?! It’s not even my first baby or the first time! Anxiety is stupid 🙄

Thank you! I’m being silly, there’s some of you hero ladies with twins alone ffs!

Keep telling myself it can’t be worse than baby doing his first proper tit at 2am when I was alone at the hospital and I had to waddle back and forth with the mesh knickers/giant pad combo plus stitches trying to wet cotton wool to clean the black tar poo off can it?! 😂😂

Their first poo is why I refuse cotton wool 🤣
I took cotton wool with my first and I asked for help. Even the midwife there asked if I'd got wipes over cotton wool

So I invited the MIL to the zoo and… she’s busy for the next two weeks apparently! Why does she want a set day when she’s always busy. So I booked a ticket and I’m taking baby by myself and I actually can’t wait.

Orange is so clingy she literally watches me leave rooms then cries and her dad is like come back soon as I pick her up for a hug she smirks at him! Happy 4 months orange is 6 months next week I cannot believe it xx
Why are all the babies growing up so quick?!

Baby yoda is 7 months this month (still looks like a 4 month old though)

Orange had her first poo at about 1pm she was born at 02:50 and no joke we opened the nappy thinking she was done and it kept coming out was revolting mr annoyed didn’t heave now he full on goes to be sick in the loo.
I wore the tenna pants honestly I think they are the bollox if I ever have another baby I’ll be wearing them asap the pads in hospital felt like I had a whole loo roll up there 🤣🤣

Has anyone else had this… baby o has been going 3hrs between feeds, which has slowly been creeping up to 3.5-4hrs so she basically has 4 bottles a day now. But this week I’ve noticed she can go 4-5 hours or even 5.5 between her 1st and 2nd bottles but then only goes 2-2.5 between the 3rd and 4th.
i can’t work out whether that’s the cause of the evening crying (as in she’s hungry and we’re still waiting to feed her) or if whatever is causing the grumpiness is sending her feeding out of whack. Or if she’s trying to go longer stretches but it’s throwing her off 🤷🏻‍♀️


Talking of baby’s first poo - since I had a c section, the midwives took baby o off to change her. Then one day I was left on my own with her and she needed changing and Christ I didnt expect that 😂

I didn’t see baby’s first poo either I can only imagine what it was like from the stories but even tinier as she had a tiny little bird butt.
