When to start using a duvet / pillow

Posted: 10/04/2012 at 09:32

We started using both at around 15 months, but we use a light duvet & a light gro-bag with legs in it so if he kicks off the duvet (which he still does!!) he doesnt get cold. We got this type of gro bag - http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B004MW45NA/ref=mp_s_a_2?qid=1334064716&sr=8-2 - though not that pattern

Where to put the car seat?

I don't get this - now have one behind the drivers seat & one behind the passenger - is the one I have behind the driver therefore less safe?! Starting to sound like something from "Sophie's Choice"....

baby will be here tomorrow!

Do you know why the hospital recommended not swaddling Tigerlily? Our hospital swaddled every baby x

Angel, my mum was an asthma/copd nurse for years (is now retired) & I remember her saying there was a study done showing a link between third-hand smoke & asthma. I've just googled it and found this - http://www.livescience.com/6087-dangers-hand-smoke-revealed.html - I guess anything that you can do to minimise exposure is best but it does seem like some remnants will always linger. Really hard situation, hope you find a way round it...x

Hi there

This is such an emotive issue isn't it. My best friends mum has always smoked heavily & my friend actually told her that if she still smoked she wouldn't be allowed to look after the baby due to the harm lingering gases etc can do. She has amazingly been quit smoking now for 6 months! Whilst that is quite extreme I can totally understand it. Thankfully none of our family or close friends smoke so it isn't an issue for us but I think it is something that you & your OH need to decide about and stick to your guns with otherwise if your child does develop something like asthma (soooooo common and not at all always linked to smoking), then you will always wonder & question your decision. I would maybe print out information to show your mil why you have an issue with it & just explain as gently (but firmly) as possible what you want. Things like this are too important to not say anything for fear of causing upset.

Good luck....

We are swaddling with a cellular blanket at the moment, then I tuck another blanket around him quite tightly. He seems to like is as he generally settles well x
