This is why I'm beyond happy we put none up this yearI need to find the energy and enthusiasm to take down my Xmas tree but i really can’t be arsed
So so so much hair. Nearly 6 months pp and actually wondering when it stops!Is anyone still losing tons of hair a year pp? Everytime I wash or brush mine I have enough falling out to make a wig! And KW keeps getting pissed I’m clogging the shower drain with it all!
was thinking maybe I should be taking supplements?
Not meI wonder how many of you hussies will be back in the pregnancy thread in 2023?

I actually work for the HV service and although we have to advise against using the prep machine I’ll be totally honest - I have one and couldn’t have survived without itI’m a first time mum due in March - has anyone got any negatives about the prep machine or the nuby rapid cool? From friends I have been told they couldn’t live without the prep machine but I’m so torn because of the advice not to use by the nhs but haven’t actually heard any of these negative stories from any mums. Also the rapid cool I thought would be a good alternative but the way I’ve seen it used on TikTok (to stop the need for constant cleaning) is where only an ounce is boiling for the formula and the rest is put in the rapid cool so part of me thinks is this just the same as a prep machine I haven’t seen any nhs guidance on the rapid cool so I’m just a bit unsure and thought it would be good to get recommendations.
Ours was taken down 2 days after ChristmasI need to find the energy and enthusiasm to take down my Xmas tree but i really can’t be arsed
If I didn’t have a wedding to diet and workout for, I fear this would be me.I wonder how many of you hussies will be back in the pregnancy thread in 2023?

Why do you have to advise against it xI actually work for the HV service and although we have to advise against using the prep machine I’ll be totally honest - I have one and couldn’t have survived without itas long as you change the filter regularly, put it through a cleaning cycle regularly and just keep an eye out to make sure baby doesn’t have any apparent stomach issues when you’re using it then it’ll be fine I don’t know much about the rapid cool so couldn’t comment on that xx
They’re not recommended because the hot shot isn’t guaranteed to kill all of any potential bacteria in the formula (this can be why some little ones have stomach issues when using the prep machine) and also because if they’re not cleaned and maintained properly it can cause issues too - basically we are told to advise against it because not everyone is sensible enough to use it properlyWhy do you have to advise against it x
They can have it from 6 months. Baby definitely doesn’t need water if younger than 6 monthsThey say there is no proof it is safe but the hot shot of water is hot enough to kill the vast majority of bacteria. They can't be seen to be promoting anything that makes formula easier and therefore might turn people off breastfeeding. I have the prep machine and have had no issues with it. Baby has never had tummy issues, almost 6 months of use.
Can anyone advise me when to give baby water on its own? Family members driving me mad and are giving baby water behind my back!! (edit to add i know water isn't that bad but it's leading to loose nappies and I just want to get some views on it)
Sips of water with meals when you start weaning (boiled and cooled if before 6m, tap water is fine after 6m), no need for water as a drink other than with meals until they are 1. Formula/breastmilk should be the only drink they are having outside of mealtimes until they are 1 and only water with meals until then, not cows milk etc.They say there is no proof it is safe but the hot shot of water is hot enough to kill the vast majority of bacteria.

We need to just try getting out of bedI need to find the energy and enthusiasm to take down my Xmas tree but i really can’t be arsed
No some kids are just feral. Mine have always had free access to their stuff (we use the kallax as open shelves) and never tipped it everywhere like maniacs. And like you, free access to art materials with no issues. I wonder if when they go to other people’s houses some kids just get over excited? And also herd mentality?! Either way, you’ll know for next time!I think it just didn’t occur to me because my own children can’t open the kallax? Now I’ve thought about it, I have no idea why she can’t, she’s almost 4, I think it’s just become habit to ask for her to ask for what she wants. But therefore I’ve never need to ‘hide’ toys that are put away, because my own kids can’t access themplus I don’t know if it’s because I have two girls, or they’re just very gentle, but they’re just not very destructive. I happily keep pens / paints within their reach and haven’t had any disasters. Before the baby was mobile I’d also keep children’s scissors that my 3yo could use if she wanted to. Watching these other children made me realise clearly I’m lucky and that’s not the norm
As above, from 6months. If baby is bottle fed you can give small sips in very hot weather (ie…not nowThey say there is no proof it is safe but the hot shot of water is hot enough to kill the vast majority of bacteria.

We had 3 3yo here last night, and couldn’t see the floor through all the toys. 3yo does get some of his toys out and doesn’t put them away, but last night was another level. Saw toys I haven’t seen in a yearNo some kids are just feral. Mine have always had free access to their stuff (we use the kallax as open shelves) and never tipped it everywhere like maniacs.

I do think herd mentality is a scary one. My kids will join the chaos if it’s started by someone else.We had 3 3yo here last night, and couldn’t see the floor through all the toys. 3yo does get some of his toys out and doesn’t put them away, but last night was another level.

You really enjoy punishing yourself don't you?We have no food in the house and the words "I could make us a lentil, ham soup" actually just came out of my mouth. Suffice to say, OH nearly divorced me before we've even wed.
