Apparently it’s only the SleepTight nest which is safe for overnight and it’s usually £120 ish (similar to a sleepyhead) so double check if that’s the right one!Ah thank you for this!! Just had a look on Boots and one of them is reduced from £65 to £45

Yeah I’m so excited too but it’s a big change and there’s so much to know. Hard not to feel overwhelmed now and then isn’t it.
I’m booked onto virtual antenatal classes from my county services but haven’t got a date for those yet and yes I was going to do that baby academy course in June or July. Heard it’s really good so look forward to hearing your thoughts next weekend.
Yess I feel you! I was doing some research on reusable nappies as I really want to give them a go and some of the websites said to make sure you buy 30 nappies so you can do up to 12 changes per day. Every two hours
(obviously I know babies need changing very often but this put it in perspective a bit!)Gosh the worry about what to do with a baby is so real. When the midwives put me on the ward I was terrified for them to leave as I had literally no idea what to put him in. Or what to do. Theh laughed (in a nice way!) gave me a hug and I was like how have they left me to look after this tiny baby 
I didn’t even realise the nappies had blue indicators to show they’ve wet them until the midwives asked me how many wet nappies he had an I was like how would I know?!
But I promise in time it comes. It feels so alien and weird to start with but you learn your own baby very quickly and it’s like riding a bike or driving - you don’t even think about it! You lovely ladies have got this x

The amount of nappies we (I used to work with one of the nappy libraries) used to quote was minimum 24 - 12 on the bum, 12 in the wash. That includes if you want to do overnight too. I don’t (haven’t found anything that stands up to my champion pissers!) so I would use about 7/8 nappies a day. I currently have 20 nappies for a younger baby, and I wash every day and a half. But they very quickly draw it out to only needing 5 or so changes a day (again not including nights) so then I could have fewer nappies, but I just wash less frequently. You can always buy some and see how you get on, and add more in if you find you need them.Yess I feel you!

That’s so reassuring thanks. I’ve also been worrying about this! I feel like antenatal classes are all well and good but at the end of the day the baby has to come out and there are doctors and midwives to take over if need be but nearly everyone I know has the same panic about not really knowing what to do with a baby but these online classes are the first I’ve heard of of the sort! Definitely going to sign up so thank you. My friend sent a congratulations card and in it wrote “when things get hard I try to remember that some really f*d up people have managed to raise some amazing kids so if they can do it then you definitely can” which, unpoetic as it may be, is what I try and think of. I just worry I’ll forget obviously practical things - I didn’t know that a baby needed a vest under everything even pyjamas! Also had no idea nappies had that kind of “technology”. My Nan asked me today if I needed a top and tail bowl and I had to google what it was!Gosh the worry about what to do with a baby is so real.

I remember before my 3rd came along I had a proper panic about how to know when they would need changed and fed. And I’d done it twice before! I think everyone has that panic at times, and certainly as a FTM it is more overwhelming. But you have it 100% when you say it will come as second nature soon enough, so try not to let yourself fret too much.
I havent been able to keep a single thing down today, just when I thought it was easing 
Sending you a hug. I sympathise I thought I was getting better but I seem to be getting worse againI havent been able to keep a single thing down today, just when I thought it was easing
.Have you got anything from your Dr? I am considering ringing mu gp in the morning, I have my scan on Wed but I'm not even keeping water down today and I'm a bit worriedSending you a hug. I sympathise I thought I was getting better but I seem to be getting worse again
I didn’t either! There is so much on the market for babies it is so overwhelming too because you assume most of it you’d need when it’s not the case at all, it’s down to preference and what people want to use or not!
The feeling is so overwhelming, but you also have a fantastic instinct about what your baby needs and when and it does kick in. I promise every parent sits and stares at that newborn for the first time and how they’ll manage but we slowly get there
I’m back on medication 3 times a day after feeling better for 6 weeks. So frustratingSending you a hug. I sympathise I thought I was getting better but I seem to be getting worse again
I've been the exact same today, celebrating hitting 24 weeks. What a nightmare. I hope it eases up for you, it's so horrible feeling so poorly xI havent been able to keep a single thing down today, just when I thought it was easing
This is reassuring - thanks!! I joined the cloth nappy Facebook site to try and absorb some information and some posters on there own 50-60 nappies...
Have you got anything from your Dr for it? I keep panicking as the NHS website says you should go to the hospital if you're not able to keep down water
Oh god I can’t remember
I think if it was wet I would feed and change after he was milk drunk as changing a screaming baby is never a fun task (especially boys when the cold gets to them and they can pee in your face) but if it was a poop I’d change because my son would get nappy rash quite quicklyNo luckily I can keep water down. I get my sickness in the evening so can normally manage some cereal in the morning and a small lunch before the nausea starts. My dating scan is on Friday and I think part of my nausea this week is anxiety leading up to it!
It’s easy to get carried away! Back when my eldest was born Bumgenius were really popular and released loads of limited edition prints. People would be paying £60+ To get one shipped over from America, and I definitely paid way too much for some of them. I would say in total I own probably around 50, but some are size ones so quickly outgrown. And last year I gave away probably about 20 I hadn’t used in years! Definitely try and stay sensible with it!This is reassuring - thanks!! I joined the cloth nappy Facebook site to try and absorb some information and some posters on there own 50-60 nappies...
