Our baby girl was born yesterday 11:57am via CS, 6lbs7. She’s a beauty. Wife got released this afternoon so only 1 night stop over.
Congrats, we are 7 weeks in and just starting to get into any sort of routine with anything so take it easy...It changed quite quickly...!

So. Sleeps all day. Grumbles all night. Please send help..... 
As someone mentioned to me a fe weeks ago, they all do that sir But in all seriousness, we had to just go with the flow with the patterns, you’ll be very much baby-led for a while and nothing you do will change baby’s routine so may as well go with the flow!
Netflix is a godsend for 4am telly.
Hello dads!
Can you recommend me a car seat please? Baby GPM is growing fast at twelve and a half months old now, and she's looking a bit big for her rear facing seat. We're after a forwards facing one, probably with ISOfix but it doesn't have to be, to get her through until she's tall enough to not need a seat any more. Either that or something she can have until we can get away with just a booster cushion.
Thoughts, ideas and opinions welcome
Cheers!

We have a maxi cosi axiss that spins round. It works with the seatbelt not isofix. Big bugger but saves your back!Can you recommend me a car seat please?

mrs malks has the cybex sirona spiny round one. it’s been great, we’re just about to swap from the baby carrier/ clip in-out thingy and buy the actual seat. but it’s ££££ think £250 for the seat and £100-150 for the iso fix base!!!Can you recommend me a car seat please?

Cheers!however i have just bought the joei spin 360 for my car. it’s £200 but seems to cover from birth to 4yrs. it’s a big old seat, but seems to be pretty comfy (codie falls asleep in 5/10mins every time!) ive been very impressed with it so far.

Never had an issue with them, and never had any leakage...
They're so bad I'm almost assuming they're missing parts, despite being new. In the end we've gone straight to a cup.
The missus admitted she'd taken the colic preventer bit out of the bottle. Without which the teet doesn't have anything to seal against.
Mystery solved.

Cheers!Cybex Sirona here (upgraded from Cloud). Spinning function is very helpful.
I know in Scandinavia they try and keep kids rear facing as long as possible as it's considered a lot safer.

Have a look a the wonder weeks app, as well as letting you know when the little one is about to turn into a terror, you can also add notes yourself. ChocolateFrog said:

Not even sure what that bit is, which probably means I've not been sterilising them properly The missus admitted she'd taken the colic preventer bit out of the bottle. Without which the teet doesn't have anything to seal against.

We used the Baby Tracker App from the Apple App Store exhaustively (probably a bit much to be honest!) until our little one went to nursery and still use it for her weight and height (it's got the percentile graphs built in) and temperatures/calpol if she's not well. It's a good app and can sync across both your phones which makes it very handy for 'tag team' parenting which we did a lot of at the start of lockdown!malks222 said:

We've also got a Joie Spin 360 in our SQ5 and I'm pretty taken with it. Does take up a lot of space but it's really easy to get the little one in and she seems comfy!Cheers for the congrats.
He's doing really well, and we were told he is possibly the biggest baby this year in the UK (record seems to be 15lb odd in 2013).
They did say did you want us to contact the papers but im just not sure about that tbh (unless I'd get some recompense so I could stick It in a trust fund).
We're learning first and the worst bits are definitely the night time needs, simple things help with turnaround pitstops.
At the end of the day it's a slow, rewarding process.
The biggest challenge has also been our lovely pug/frenchbull dog, who has really been our child for the last 9 years, he is doing much better today but there was a lot of puppy behaviour, licking ears seems to be the biggest thing he does.
