Thinking to get one for my #5. But don’t know which type or brand is better. Any mummy willing to share more or if any mummy giving away can let me know too. Thanks

Worried mum of 5 months old baby

Ifc issues

Hello, I know this is very sudden and literally just out of nowhere but I need some advice. I've been having difficulty communicating with my husband even before marriage and during pregnancy. Right now, my baby is 4 months going to be 5 and we're planning to get a divorce. I would like to know how would this affect the baby/kid in the future and if anyone of you grew up having parents who separated, please let me know your thoughts as well. Honestly, this ending is certainly not what I expected but it is needed as my husband is emotional abusive and does not communicate or even want to solve issues at all which is why I'd rather have the kid to myself as I do not want my baby to imitate his behaviours (hurling vulgarities/neglecting/manipulating/gaslighting) and attitude. Ofcourse there are always cons to having separated parents, but it'll be helpful to know some pros as well. Thank you in advanced :)

Hi Mamas! Would you be able to recommend best strollers to use for travelling? Cabin-sized or lightweight etc. And what essentials would you pack for babies (the amount etc) for let’s say a trip under a week (4D3N or so), and to pack for in the airplane (short and long plane trips) And how do you pack formula for air travels?

Any PD recommendation?

anyone know what is this? my LO is going 4 months and on formulal

Hi mummies, I’ll be going back to work soon and I need a portable breast pump that is low in noise as my office doesn’t have a place to pump and I’ll have to do it at my desk. I need some suggestions pls , not too expensive also as I’m 2m + pp, planing to bf till 6m or max 8m

I’ve been feeling frustrated with my mother-in-law lately. I’m on maternity leave until next year, and my baby is now 2 months old, almost 3 months. Ever since I gave birth, my MIL would often ask to come over to see the baby. Because I’m always at home and my husband is self-employed. However, every week, she would asks us to come over at least twice, which is starting to feel overwhelming because I really need my rest. When we visit her, she tends to take my baby away into another room for hours. For example, we were there for 6 hours, and during that time, she didn’t want to return the baby to me, even though she was crying. As a mom, it’s really hard to hear my baby cry and not be able to comfort her. When my baby cries, it means she needs me, even if family members are trying to soothe her. I feel like my MIL doesn’t always recognize that and tries to comfort the baby herself instead of giving her back to me. I understand she wants to help and “give me a break”, but the longer my baby is away from me, the more anxious I become. I’ve told my husband that I’d prefer to have the baby back when she’s upset, but he says I should give his mom a chance to play with her. Has anyone else experienced this? How do you deal with situations like this? #firsttimemom
