I maybe wouldn't include body wash/shampoo ect as people tend to stick to what they know and know what they like so it probably won't end up getting used
From my experience, of having kids...I usually go for bath stuff ( towel, washcloth, baby body wash and shampoo and bath books/toys) or a bamboo/silicone eating set ( bowl, cup, plate, cutlery, a bib) for new babies. Maybe some board books the baby doesn’t have yet? Hema do a great range of affordable wooden toys for babies/toddlers, or the Little Dutch range is perfect too!
Agree with this, we got gifted lots of baby bath stuff but my husband has bad eczema so we only use Child’s farm as it’s kind on his skin when he gives her a bath and obviously it’s really gentle on buba too.From my experience, of having kids...

Spoilered for anyone with a delicate constitution@fairylights2000 hope you recover soon, take it easy though!I’m having a c section and have asked for dissolvable stitches where possible as I have zero pain threshold - I’m ignorant to what removal of staples / stitches entails - what do they do to remove them?
You’re actually not far off. They slide the tool underneath the staple and then yeah, wiggle it out. It’s the same as pulling staples out a board display for any teachers out there. Sorry you’re sore. Take it easySpoilered for anyone with a delicate constitution
Also I realised today that I was in hospital for 10 days in total which probably explains why I feel so wobbly, in my head it was only a few days! Still a lot to process I thinkI couldn't see the processbut it felt like they snip the staples in half and then cajole the halves out. It hurt a bit during and after so I've been snoozing and having painkillers today.
That's a fair point about having to rest while being in here! I know for the few days I wasI had an emergency one last time and ended up staying in hospital for 5 days because baby needed to. At the time I was livid, but looking back now it was the best thing to happen because it forced me to rest. Those 5 days I spent laying in that bed or sitting on the chair doing nothing would never have happened if I had gone home. So try to use this time in hospital to rest. My wound also go infected a couple of weeks later, not so badly that I ended up in hospital, but it knocked me right back and I was in so much more pain from that, than I was from the surgery. Just rest as much as you can whilst you're in there and take things easy. I promise it gets better, so much so I've asked for another one!
100% wish id rested more! I got an infection too then my wound opened and honestly the mess can wait. It's frustrating to feel normal but be physically restricted and watching my husband do a shit job of the housework drove me madThat's a fair point about having to rest while being in here! I know for the few days I was
home in between being discharged and readmitted, that I wasn't really sitting and resting enough. I kept popping up to do things that were bothering me sitting looking at them, like dusting the bleedin' bookcase
So essentially maybe I just need to learn from this experience and actually just sit on my arse when I get home and accept that recovering and feeding a newborn will have to suffice in terms of productivity right now. I'm glad to hear your experience with sections hasn't put you off, that's really positive to hear
In my experience, no.Might be a silly question but, in your experiences, when you’re weaning / feeding and they drop the utensil after x amount of time, is that typically a sign they’re finished?
Thanks! She’ll Not put anymore in her mouth then throw the utensil on the ground. Until that point, she shovels food into her mouthIn my experience, no.
They drop/mess about with it constantly. Throw it ect. But will still eat.
They're done when they won't put any more in their mouth imo
In my experience, they’re not finished until they’ve thrown every last morsel to the dog so there’s nothing left to eatMight be a silly question but, in your experiences, when you’re weaning / feeding and they drop the utensil after x amount of time, is that typically a sign they’re finished?
When baby is done, he starts sticking his tongue out and won’t let me put anything more in. He also does the spoons on the floor after the first mouthful, because sometimes he can be a bit of a knobMight be a silly question but, in your experiences, when you’re weaning / feeding and they drop the utensil after x amount of time, is that typically a sign they’re finished?
Can't help I'm afraid but we stopped at around 5m too, she just refused it more and more, then we started weaning and it sort of came to an end. It's really sad and hormones don't help but don't be too hard on yourself. 5m of breastfeeding is amazingDoes anyone have anyadviceexperience they can share with boob refusal. We only bfeed for the midde of the night feed and have done consistently for a months now, expressed milk during the day. Last two nights he cries if I try to breastfeed until he gets a bottle. 5 months old, coinciding with moving from a love to dream to a proper sleeping bag…
I don’t know why I care, I was so proud of us for getting this far I thought we would make it to 6 months. I don’t know what to do other than try one last night tomorrow and then that’s that
I always make sure any products I get are hypoallergenic and I do my research before hand. For someone very particular, I would leave them out!Agree with this, we got gifted lots of baby bath stuff but my husband has bad eczema so we only use Child’s farm as it’s kind on his skin when he gives her a bath and obviously it’s really gentle on buba too.
I do love getting bath toys though

I mean, you could always ask them what products they use. In my experience as a parent I'd appreciate that level of thought and it's a useful gift that way. I have a basket full of stuff we'll never use (will donate it obviously). How's your niece doing?I always make sure any products I get are hypoallergenic and I do my research before hand.

I would offer again and see how you get on. You SHOULD be proud of yourself, you’ve done an amazing job feeding for 5months. There is so much pressure on mums to feed for set periods of time like 6 months, but the reality is that any time is amazing, and your worth as a mummy does not depend on the number of days you’ve breastfedDoes anyone have anyadviceexperience they can share with boob refusal.

My niece is gorgeous and seems to be doing well, as far as I can see from videos, pictures and info I have been given. She is hopefully meeting her 100 year-old great grandma this week, train strikes permitting! I am almost over my cough-cold hybrid thing, so hopefully I will get to meet her in person sooooon!I mean, you could always ask them what products they use.
