We’ve kept clothes that aren’t our style/look cheap that have been gifted in a separate bag. We’ll just do 1 day of popping them on, taking a pic then binning themWhat do you do about family members who mean well buying your baby the most awful things? My stepdad is so excited but he has the worst taste on earth and is addicted to buying absolute tat off of Amazon and Temu. My mum said he’s bought a lot but she doesn’t know what he’s bought and I am just dreading next going round, I don’t think I can even pretend to put on a smile and be happy about whatever he’s bought
we’ve binned a couple of bits already they didn’t even make the bag they were that awful - slogan vests etc from temu that are supposed to be funny but just aren’t. For anything else that doesn’t look good quality or we don’t like I’ve kept in the packaging in a box and will conveniently forget to get them out til he’s too big for them. 
VINTED - what’s not your style will almost certainly be someone’s xWe’ve kept clothes that aren’t our style/look cheap that have been gifted in a separate bag. We’ll just do 1 day of popping them on, taking a pic then binning them
Would it help to tell your step dad you’ve got loads of stuff ready now and maybe do an Amazon baby list he could buy bits from instead of just buying you stuff you don’t need/already have? Then he can still help out without filling your house with tat at the same time
Or even drop into a charity shop or women’s shelter etc if you can’t be bothered listing. No point wasting them

Fortunately for me I don't have to face family ordinarily when they send gifts for my little ones. If there's anything I don't like I just send it to either a charity shop or the local shelter.What do you do about family members who mean well buying your baby the most awful things?

just rolls and rolls of nausea without actually being sick. Can only eat about three bites of things before feeling like I’m about to hurl or just generally feeling horrible before even cooking so I don’t even bother 
Every time!Why is it that a baby will kick and kick all afternoon, feels like they’re tap dancing and the second you get your partner to place his hand on your stomach the baby decides it’s nap time
apparently they can tell it’s a different hand to mums so they stop Preggie pop drops were good for the nausea for me! Also starting a daily omeprazole, even though I didn’t have heartburn. I’d just helped with the nausea.I wouldn’t mind feeling sick if there was actually any sick to go with it
feel like he's gonna hate me but I just have no energy at all today
! Apparently my midwife has been off ill and now they wanna get me in asap coz I should of had the booking appointment a week or two ago Magnesium spray has been great for mine. I just put it on before bed (or make Mr R do it) and haven’t had leg cramps since. I was getting them really badly.
Second magnesium but I take it as a tablet before bed. Obviously check for yourself but everything I've read says it's safe for baby and can actually be beneficial to their development.
I got the baby box for both mine (2.5 years ago and 2 week old) and have used quite a lot of the stuff both times. Obviously some of the stuff I didn’t need this time but was handy getting fresh changing Mat, clothes, towel etc and the maternity pads and breast pads. The stuff was all different will be different from when you got one 6 years ago. Same idea but different designs etc. would defo get one if I was you
I’ve never heard of the baby box (being English) but what a fabulous initiative! https://www.parentclub.scot/baby-box
I’ve got the mama tea one (something like that, pink and navy box from Holland and barratt) and it tastes ok…a bit minty/herby?
I make up a full jug and let it go cold then mix it with ice and either pineapple juice or cranberry & raspberry juice in my Stanley cup and just sip it through the day. It’s quite nice then because it stays so cold. That looks so good!
I got it 3 years ago, there was a lot of things like the maternity pads and breast pads I didn’t use because I had already bought loads myself. I’ll definitely get it this time and just not buy as much stuff. How were the clothes in it? Last time they weren’t great but a few plain white bodysuits I did use.
So is mine lol. Gonna start buying the big stuff once we've seen for sure she's OK and not to sound clinical/cold but viable.
