What’s the best thing to do with very worn, stained baby/ toddler clothes? They are in too bad condition to sell or give to a charity shop. Should I throw them away (which makes me feel bad but I don’t think I have any choice)?
If there’s a heritage steam railway near you, they need rags for lighting the locomotives. Info courtesy of my trainiac brother in law.

Alternatively, if you’re crafty at all, cut out the best bits and create a patchwork quilt or rag rug.

Treat yourself to a Crimpett, it’s a game changer
 
i wrap them in tinfoil so it doesn't matter if they split

Sodium percarbonate.

It helps if you warm the wrap for a few seconds in the microwave before wrapping. I need to practice it as well as I love wraps.

I've seen people take parts of clothes an turn them into little memory bears, they are quite cute an a lovely way to keep a hold of something

I’ll be honest, I think it’s a bit weird, and some people are very sensitive about religious matters. I wouldn’t buy this.

I would steer clear of anything with religious content. Just buy the baby a cute tableware set with his name on.

Thank you - it’s always hit and miss when you try and get something a bit unusual. We’ll stick with something cute and simple. Thanks again x

Does anyone struggle with feeling exhausted in the morning and if so have you found anything to help with it?

All my life I've always struggled with mornings, doesn't matter if I've had a perfect night's sleep with no disturbance or if it's been broken sleep, it's always a struggle to get out bed and leaves me feeling quite honestly pissed off, I don't use an alarm because I naturally wake between 7am an 8am and so long as I am up at 8 then it's fine so it's not like I am being woken from an alarm either, once I am up an had breakfast then am fine, but it's just the whole trying to get out of bed an that drowsy feeling I can't get rid off

I take some B-vitamin in the morning or something like berroca
 
I take magnesium and 5HTP and multivitamin pills

Would taken these eventually help if they are in the system?

I actually feel fine when am up an dressed, don't feel the tiredness or the strong want to stay in bed, it only seems to happen when I first wake up despite the fact am naturally waking in the first place

Tbh i think that's pretty normal? I'd actually be interested to hear from anyone who wakes up and is immediately ready to go and full of energy

Just because you are naturally waking doesn't mean you've had adequate rest .

This may be controversial but I find keeping the curtains open actually make it easier for me to get up in the morning. Waking to darkness makes me want to stay comfy and cosy. Waking to a bright light room is a little more invigorating or something?

right? i thought this was just part of being a human takes me a good 5-10 minutes to actually wake myself up enough to get out of bed. the only exception is if my toddler is shouting me

I never thought of that, I had thought because I was naturally waking then my body deemed I had enough rest, maybe my sleeping isn't as great as I am thinking it is

I do have blackout curtains, they do still let light in around the edges so it's never still proper dark in the mornings but maybe I'll look into some lighter curtains to brighten the room better in the mornings

Honestly am not expecting to just wake up an have boundless energy, I just would prefer my body didn't feel such a dead weight in the morning that it's actually affecting my mood having to physically get out of bed
 
Yeah fair just cause you said you feel fine when you get up and i think for most people it can be hard to get up. But i do agree with the other person saying just because you wake up naturally it doesn't mean you're rested. I often wake up earlier when my body is very "on the go" and it signals to me i need to take some time off or prioritise rest.

I've found my sleep has improved since I got a silk eye mask and Loop ear plugs.
