New baby and post birth advice #41 Trigger warning: Soup

[Rxt156]

Thank you I know that in a month I’ll probably be enjoying it, it’s just that the sleep deprivation is hitting hard at the moment currently getting no pay at all though so money will soften the blow! I know, I remember being due around the same time back on the pregnancy thread, how has it almost been a year

How are our babies approaching 1!! Madness!! We are also suffering with sleep at the minute hope it improves soon for us both !

Our ball pit was shoved into babys room to make room for the Christmas tree. It’s still in the room, but the balls are bleeping everywhere. Selling it on marketplace soon

*the ball pit. Not the baby. Although…

I'm not quite back to work yet like some of you ladies (good luck to everyone back this week!) but I am starting KIT days this week, starting off with just half a day per week and then I'll increase it until I go back properly at the beginning of March. I've never been apart from baby for more than 2 hours so it's going to be a bit of a shock to the system!

Still, can't be weirder than going back to work in the middle of the first lockdown with my eldest before childcare bubbles had been allowed and when I hadn't been apart from her for more than the time it took to take a shower for months!

Do not blame me if you get pregnant again! In the words of @jackolantern keep your knickers on!


We’re going to West Midlands safari park it’s like a joint birthday for us all cause we’re big ages/first birthday and it’s so expensive
This rompers so cute!

I’ve given up, you’re all slags destined to have your own football teams and never sleep again babe x

I feel you! I don't know where abouts in Essex you are but if I can figure out how to message you there's one local to me which is highly recommended and where I will be taking boysie when he grows a bit more hair!

ETA: Err, did I imagine the fact you could message people on here? I must be losing my mind!!

You used to be able to! I’m in north London but very close to m25

Googled the corn teether y’all talk about but found this instead.

Encouraging them to chomp on boobs can only be a terrible decision right?!

Put a pool noodle in a dark colour under your sofa to act like a barrier (This assumes your sofas are low ish to the ground though)

Guys wtf is a crimpit?! Off to google

It’s too high… new sofa arrives in march though, number 1 requirement was no gap underneath. Between the baby and the dog, there’s a whole ecosystem living under there


Also! Baby o was crawling around my ankles earlier going ‘mumumumumumu’ I don’t think she actually knows she’s on about me but still!

That’s the £30 one it does look pretty awesome in there though. But obvs having to pay double I can’t justify that

Does anybody have any good recs for a car seat for grandparents car? It would have very little use so really don't want to spend much but it will be used about 10 mins 4 days a week max.

We were going to use 5yos old joie 360 but got it out the loft to fit it in MILs car and its covered in mould

Stupid decisions were made last night, I went out for brunch at midday and didn’t get home until 3am this morning. I’m too old for this, the hangover has been absolutely brutal but in a wild turn of events Mr G has actually been amazing and done everything today with Baby G so that I can chill out and die in peace

@stardust1 just wanted to say my baby is the same age as yours and she’s only just starting to take independent steps. We’ve been doing lots of holding her hands and walking her around to try and encourage her. I’ve been stressing about it recently because we have close friends with babies the same age who have been walking for ages! It’s really difficult to not to compare, but it’s true when they say they’ll do things when they’re ready x

Noooo!!! You're joking? Is it really? Oh wow! We won't be going there then!x

[calmyourritas]

Is there anything more annoying than a KW giving you “advice” on how to do something you do several times a day that he does about once every week????? Please duck off

He's giggling with every move If my Netherlands weren't permanently fused shut from horror it'd almost make me join the no knickers clan and have another
