it’s annoying 
Haha the Aldi ones do us fine in the day, we've had no leakages, only when we've not pointed his winky downSame. I’m very much a ‘own brand is the same, you’re just paying for the name’ person but I got samples of pampers and they beat Aldi hands down. Also when you go to size 2 they cover a bigger size range so you don’t get stuck with loads they’ve grown out of if you’re not careful. Tesco size 3 are a close 2nd but Aldi’s have been relegated to day time only when she’s unlikely to poo
The pampers are much better at night though, 100%. The size 3 aldi ones aren't as thick as the 2s we found. I just gave a neighbour who's expecting about 200 size 1 nappies as we bulk bought and never got through them!What formula worked?
did Gaviscon cause any constipation?Mine had colic and reflux. Same thing, had to keep her up for about 30 minutes after every feed and she just didn't want to put down! We tried all the over the counter medicine but in the end only gaviscon worked. I would definitely speak to the GP. I feel for you, it really is awful! It made me wish the newborn weeks away because HV said it would get better at 12 weeks.....it didn't
I used her pram but she got too big for it as well, I’m using a travel cot downstairs atm she’s 3 months
I use the Aldi “premium” ones, are they the ones you mean? Maybe I’ve just had bad luck the last few nights cause when I go to change him his nappy isn’t completely Saturated
just leaks out the edges oopsWhat’s the difference between a sling and wrap?i have a wrap, she sometimes likes being in there but laat couple of days hasn’t liked it and whines, not sure it it’s because its too tight?
i have invested in a proper sling now So we’ll see how she gets on with that!
Oh I’d say at this point mine is from weight gain but tbh I’m not wanting to lose any weight I’m happy enough weight wise but wondering if they will be stay the same size then
my mum said hers went back to normal size but she had a fast metabolism so would usually never hold on to weight anywayIm sorry you’re having a tough time with feeding support. It sounds like you are doing a great job persevering to get things sorted, which is incredible. Are you waiting for a tongue tie release?It was me said my post bleeding was like a light period (after about 3 days) - I’ve got stacks of un used inco pants (Aldi’s are good and tena will send you 2 on a free trial) and maternity pads so for me, I wouldn’t buy lots until you know. I’m a month pp and it’s still there but like the last day of a period for me. I don’t know if breast feeding has anything to do with it, you contract back more apparently. TMI but it came flooding out every time I fed the first few days, I could feel my uterus contracting and it all releasing.
re post-natal care - I’ve had a nightmare with feeding and managing to get the support. My advice is to keep pushing. Been told by both the midwife and health visitor feeding teams and the tongue tie specialist after referrals they have no appointments and they were referring me back. I said I’d wait, when was their first available slot and I’ll have it, video appointment? I’ll have that. Spoke to midwives and health visitor again, asked them to refer again. All magically came back with appointments
No we bubble with my parents, and my MIL can’t travel in to our country without a 10 day quarantine period so we won’t be able to see her until all the restrictions are lifted, unfortunately. My parents will do all the school runs for me (I’m having a section) and take my toddler a few days, which is a big help though.Exactly! His downfall is he thinks he knows everything and knows best. He’s ruined his relationship with me because I got sick of it and it hurt. I just needed support and understanding. I think like you say some of the older generation think they know everything, luckily my mum and mother in law just accepted all of the new things like weaning around 6m
If restrictions allow, are you able to bubble with your MIL? You could really do with her support again and I honestly don’t know how we’d have managed without my mum and my daughter was our first.
It’s scary isn’t it! Occupational health dr put me down as medium risk but NHS sent me a vaccine letter saying I could have severe complications if I get covid. I had to fight to be heard. OH told me to go back to work in the end
luckily my GP did listen to my concerns but she was very reluctant to put her on medication just yet as she is only 17 days, so she has told us to try anti reflux formula for a few days to see how we get on, however i am reluctant to change her formula and from advice of midwife and HV they have said not to change it.
Haha I have a total non sleeper and anytime he's done this in the past I've been like what's wronh with him?! He can't win either way
Yeah I'm quite scared to Google itI had a pessary induction in January. This was baby number 3 for me but it was very quick. Induction started at 10pm, contractions started around 1am, baby born just after 4am.
I was really really nervous about being induced as most stories when you google are horror stories, but I did find quite a lot of positive stories too
I'm really hoping she will come before then but it will be just my luck I need induced can only hope its a quick one like yours! Glad to hear another positive, makes me less nervous about that being a possibility!I had the pessary twice. It was fine, i have no complaints about it! It didn’t work with my first but did with my second.
Yeah we've always had it for my kids.I was always a bit sceptical about the white noise but it's gone off a few times and he's woken really quickly after. We put it in the pram and he will often just turn his head and go off to sleep
How old is your baby if you don’t mind me asking? Our little girl is 4 months and is gonna be too big for her car seat soon so we’re have to start looking for another not sure which one to get eitherAlready buying a new car seat, we’ve been using the one that came with the mamas and papas ocarro pram (cybex atom 5 I believe) and Jesus it’s a nightmare getting baba into it now
I’m going to get a swivel chair - currently looking at the maxi cosi 360 but happy for any recommendations.
Also; anyone just find themselves shoving EVERYTHING in the loft lol? We won’t start trying for another baby for a couple of years but Im like hmm this will surely save a lot of money not having to buy all this again
and I’m not sure which type of car seat they go into next first time mum
