I work in a charity shop occasionally and a girl I have on fb comes in and buys quite often, a lot of baby stuff specifically. Our baby clothes are all 20p per item in a big basket but I know she only has one baby and buys things definitely smaller than her baby is and also a lot of boys stuff all sizes when she has a girl.

Curiosity got the better of me tonight as I’d seen she’s shared her vinted on there before so I went and had a look. Ofc she’s selling stuff for way more than what she’s got it for, ranging about £3-£15.

I know it’s a side hustle and there’s nothing actually wrong with it but I can’t help feel it’s a bit scummy in a way, spending 20p and getting potentially so much profit. Am I being too judgy?? I always thought with the stuff being so cheap it was mostly helping parents who really need it as we do get some nice stuff in but knowing someone’s gaining so much…

I can imaging similar posts have been made but I’ve not seen any so just looking for opinions I guess, will probably forget until I see her next anyway

Instant edit after thinking about it from posting: my opinion may have changed already lol, she obviously is a parent and I doubt she’d be doing this if she was comfortable enough with money (unless he’s just keeping herself busy or something I guess) so she likely is a mother who it is helping but she’s found a way to gain more off it to get stuff for her baby still, I think I just answered my own question

8 month old slathered in sunscreen, out for around 1hr 20 mins from 3ish today and she’s burnt, I feel so awful. I’m hoping it’s very mild and it is the tops of her arms only but it doesn’t stop me feeling as though I should have just not taken her out.

Been moisturising her every hour to try and soothe it and she took a really long time to get to sleep when she’s usually pretty quick.

We cosleep and took her temp half hour ago and was 36.6°c which was the same as mine. After being out of the bed half an hour I was just worrying and did another reading which was 36.2°, then a few mins later 36.1° so I’ve got back into bed with her but she’s sweating buckets, though she’s extremely sweaty at nights anyway.

Looking for reassurance maybe? Or advice? I’m not sure just can’t find anything online about sunburn and hot weather with a lower temperature as she’s usually the same temp as me whether I’m holding her or not.

My guts telling me to head to a&e but I’m not sure because she’s my first baby, I’m overthinking not being able to sleep. Her temp is in normal range(?), not being fussy or distressed or any vomiting

Update: her temperature is now 35.6°, fans off and in bed with some blanket now

Generally looking for suggestions and advice, baby girl is 7 months and just always seems bored so quickly. Really long post but I’d appreciate any help.

She is already sitting independently, crawling and constantly pulling to stand so being still for longer than 2 minutes when not asleep is not really an option. She’s also teething again with 4 top teeth cutting through which is why I think I feel at my whits end.

Wondering on best ways to keep baby entertained.

We don’t do tv besides YouTube with music watching people perform (orchestras, playing harp etc) and she isn’t the most interested which I’d expect. We go on walks everyday, sit on the field.

She loves food but I seriously can’t keep just handing her more food for like 2 hours straight and she doesn’t ever want the same thing more than 2-3 times (understandable).

The days feel so long and my partner works long shifts. She loves dad, is happy to just sit with him even if he goes on his phone, happy to have him sing or even just listening to him speak and then when with me it’s as though nothing I do keeps her engaged or entertained for longer than 5 mins.

I just need time to do everything that needs doing really. My partner does loads but between sleep and work there’s not very much time with him so he can’t even have her much longer than 2 hours for me to get everything done for the house (and myself).

Things we’ve (I’ve) tried:

Mess free painting- no interest besides pulling the tape off that’s holding down ziplock bag and trying to eat it. The same with anything in a bag, pease in water, buttons, gems.

Sticking toys to the floor/highchair table- thought this might work from how she was with the painting but at table she again just wanted to eat the tape and had no interest on the floor

Free roam of the room- works for when I’m putting washing away but she wants to be under my feel whole time like a cat. She’ll do about 20 minutes and then asks to be picked up and will cry if I dont.

Sticky notes on chair table- had fun for 4 minutes exactly and then stuck a massive bit of paper in her mouth and began to choke, won’t be trying that again.

Books- she enjoys them as part of her free roaming time but it doesn’t change the length of time she’s willing to be down

Ball pit- I think too many balls for her to be interested in them. A few days ago I gave her just 4 balls and she managed to puncture and squash them all and was bored in 5 mins

Walks- she’s okay but wants to be fed the whole time and this also doesn’t help with me needing time to cook clean etc. she also only wants to eat the grass on the field, not even crawl just handfuls of grass straight in the mouth.

Shallow pool- she only wanted to climb out and cleaning the garden is a big thing I need time to get around to doing

Bouncer- loves it…when she had her hands bend to jump or is being looked directly at and sung or spoken to. Look away for a few seconds and she wants out. No interest in the toys around it.

Baby wearing in the house- she. Kicks. Off. Loves it out, in the house I have no chance.

There’s definitely other things I’ve tried that I just can’t think of. She doesn’t have much interest in many toys. Loves squeaky toys but only if we squeak them. It must be a common thing that babies love everything that isn’t a toy and she is not an exception to that.

Is it worth investing in some type of soft play pieces? We don’t really have money to be throwing away if not and they’re a bit pricy but we will find a way if it could end up a win.

Note to add: she sleeps anywhere from 8-12 hours a night and doesn’t really nap which is why I think the days are feeling so long. She’s such a happy baby but only really when she’s being held and as said, not worn

I tried bf until 4.5-5 months, pumping and latching all the time and having no luck, hardly producing 3 oz a day.

Currently 7 months pp, have found I still get a few drops every now and then when I check, though today my breasts felt quite hard and I more massaged than squeezed and milk began spraying out and just kept coming! Probably more than a full day of when I was pumping and latching three months ago. Two days ago I had a few drips, what is going on??
