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

[Belle Amie]

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

Mine hasn’t been encouraged and yet here he is doing it anyway

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

See, this is how it begins.....

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

I got Joie tilt for £90 in argos before xmas. It seems good so far. I did read it’s not good for higher percentile kids tho x

Was just in Asda, and stood at the checkout giggling to myself because the Asda magazine this month bears the title “Souper stars” and is full of soup recipes. Then the checkout woman asks what’s funny and I couldn’t work out how to explain my favourite online pumpkin @jackolantern is who I’d describe as a souper star… so i settled with saying I’d been playing with the baby instead

I love how I infiltrate all your lives, if it isn't you all yeeting things left right and centre it's bleeping soup, she's a legend, she's a star

Assuming this is a typo, but as a Belgian, this made me giggle

Edit @LittleBluebird sorry

It isn't we call your privates your nethers/netheregions around here, I have no idea why lmao. I just like to go one further

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

Or asking what veg he wants with a roast and he asks for a Brussels sprout/bacon/creme fraiche & Parmesan Gratan

I asked Mr T what we should have for tea once and he said Beef Wellington, it was 4pm on a weekday I just don’t ask any more, he’s also suggested dauphinois potatoes as a side once, you’re getting some bleeping oven chips and you’ll be happy with it pal

I have a crawler

 

[DaisyDaisy87]

Getting little imp a ballpit on specialbuys and I thought I'd have a general browse... there's a SOUP MAKER, do I do I?!

Get a pretty ball pit I rejected the nice instagrammable foam ones in favour of a colourful pop up one with tunnels etc thinking it would be more fun for him but it’s a monstrosity, the colours are gross and it’s honestly starting to irrationally enrage me looking at it every night. If only it would fit in a Kallax.

doesn’t help that I have to do a full on work out putting 817638283 balls back in it once he’s gone to bed and then angrily sit in front of it.

 

[shadowofdoubt]

This made me laugh, I was pregnant again by the time my 1st was 12 weeks 🫣

I’m so jealous! These hormones need to calm down or I’m fucked

Ladies has anyone ever used one of those rockit rockets on their prams to help prolong naps? Do they actually work?

They’ve got some cheek! The most he offers me is a bacon sandwich that’s been burnt to a crisp, oh and cold as he likes us to eat together 🫠

Just catching up as I've taken some time off, congratulations @ThePidge how lovely

Hope you're all ok girls. I'm in such a funk at the moment. I'm back at work on the 30th and literally sobbing most days about it. How is my baby nearly 9 months already and mat leave has basically ended?! He has his settling in sessions next Thurs and I just want to cry. I'm lucky to be going back part time but I'm just in denial its over so quickly

Baby has started saying “me, me” when she want something which is super sweet. It also means I’ve heard “me, me” at increasing decibels 3026169401 times today

I haven’t personally but have a friend who loved hers. She swore by it for naps

Not me, but my sister. And nope, didn’t work at all!

I'm sure @Easilyannoyed did I could be misremembering though!

Yeah I got one and it's worked for us about 3 times. I mainly tried to use it to keep him asleep in the pram when we got home from the dog walk but he always managed to wake up just as we were coming through the door Would try and get one second hand if you can!
