What did you have to put baby in....

[HJWT]

....In the living room! Iv just ordered a swing but with DD I had a swing, bouncer and play matt as well as carrying her mosses basket through 😂

What did you have? Im thinking to get a cheap basket to put on the table so he is high up because I KNOW DD will be poking/stroking him constantly 😌

High up dd will be pulling it off surely?? We got a travel cot so dc couldn't reach ds!

@Walkamileinmyshoesbeforeujudge she will be 3 so she can be told not to do that but I know she won't listen if I tell her not to rub his belly 😂 she does it with all the baby's at play group!!

My living room isn't big enough for a travel cot 😯 would have to get rid of all DD's toys 😂

My ds 3 ran across a busy road last year.
He knows not to but said it was OK because he looked first. Beware your dd won't be her usual self for a while once a baby arrives! Don't overestimate her good behaviour.. My mil used to put the car seat on the table. Gave me the shudders every time.

I live in a bungalow now so I don’t have the same problem lol - phew!
But with my other 3 I was the same as you, rocking chair, bouncer, playmat etc. I had it all! Dc1 has just turned 1 when dc2 was born! Dc2 was 2 and dc1 was 3 when dc3 was born! Tbh I never even thought about what they would ‘do’ to the new baby 😕 and I guess I was just lucky Cos I had no mishaps and they were actually pretty helpful (I’m sure at that age was the only time they actually loved each other and enjoyed each other’s company 🙈) and protective of each other! Now my youngest is 8 and I’m expecting again, we have a dog (who grew up with the 8 year old) I’m more worried what the dog will do as I had a friend with a newborn round the other day and he was really jealous when I was holding the baby 😱
I suppose there is always something to worry about lol

I have a baby gym and tiny love rocking napper as it's a bouncer chair which converts in to a lie flat Moses basket type thing.

travel cot, and swing. Could use a moses basket?

Even a playmat on the floor but padded and nice as long as they are supervised and away from small other human!

Travel cot for the living room and bouncer chair for the kitchen which I’ll change to a jumperoo when they’re old enough. I love bouncer chairs- lifesavers!

We had hard floors so the pram was used indoors!

@Walkamileinmyshoesbeforeujudge oh I would never let DD near a road without holding her hand! She defo cant grasp that at all lol, obviously I wont be leaving her in the room with the baby alone so should be fine xx

I’m going to get a rocker type chair like I had before. I hope! Was many years ago. It lay flat then mid way then upright which was fab as I used it in upright at the start or weaning. I only have my dog to worry about! I think I will lay the baby in the pram tbh when he/she sleeps. I’ll have limited space! I’ll buy a playmat for tummy time and laying down but I’ll have to move he/she if I have to leave the room until I know how my dog will be! Have a feeling the pooch will think all the new stuff is his! 🤣 xx

We put the baby in the play pen to keep him away from the toddler!

I dont have any other children or pets but I'm looking at the chicco baby hug for our little one. Didnt want a moses basket and worried a travel cot would be too big. This seems to be the best alternative I could find and while its pricey, its suitable for newborn through to toddler stage which is a bonus x

I use a swing chair or moses x

Doomoo and playmat. Best not to leave them unattended until DD is properly used to her little bro or sis.
