I really mean this in the nicest possible way but new mums, do your research on the doona. It’s obviously very very easy but in terms of safety testing, it does not perform well in crash tests. I won’t go into more detail. Do your own research xx

Came here to say this, babies should only be in car seats for up to 45mins each time (don’t hold me to it lol). I wanted one but wouldn’t for safety risks x

Yes you are right. I also would not let my child nap in one as it’s supposed to be bad for their spine. Of course the random long journey here and there but I always used a bassinet attachment. To be honest unsafe products should have to make it known as it’s for a baby.

I don’t know where you get your information from as I have read the British safety standards on the doona and other car seats and it’s rated as good. Not the best. But also not the worst. Average (average in car seat safety by the way it’s that it’s got very good protection in a crash and has good safety features for baby) it scores higher than maxi cosi which is the number 1 selling car seat in the UK. Sometimes I feel like these comments are totally judgemental and mum shaming and quite ill-informed also! I have 3 children. I’ve had many different car seats, including a doona. Doona is great especially on the school run, obviously use common sense and don’t leave your baby in there for hours. But most mums pop their infant car seat on their stroller anyway on school run etc so actually no difference whatsoever to using a doona…. They are expensive which is why I think quite a few people are negative about them because they are not affordable to a lot of people but I have loved ours, my son loves it, my children love being able to push him to the car from the front door which has massively helped my back as I’m not lifting a hugely heavy seat all the time and I would 100% recommend to family and friends 😊

@@1988laurennicolewell regardless of these points the doona only lasts you until baby outgrows the capsule, then you have to buy a completely new stroller….and the doona costs you an absolute arm and a leg in the first place

When you store your milk, freeze it flat between two cookie sheets. This is my fav hack for pumping. I always stored 4oz in each bag and froze flat, then once frozen, just stacked them.

I thought it wasn’t safe for babies to stay in carseats for more than 2 hours or for sleep due to positional asphyxiation? I don’t understand the doona because it seems like it would encourage you to leave the baby in that position for long periods?

I'm currently 40+5 waiting to meet our baby boy ♥We got the Najell sleep nest carrier after seeing it on your channel and doing a bit of research. The thing I liked the most about it is that it's safety tested by cot standards. Although they obviously have to still be supervised, we felt like we will have have more peace of mind using that one rather than a cheaper one without the firm base and testing x

£170 for a sleep nest carrier 😐 the power of marketing these days. I have a moses basket which was £50 and has handles so I can carry it around the house with the baby in it. I don't know why anyone needs to spend hunderds of pounds for the latest creation of the same old thing.

My baby hates doona and I don’t like that I can’t put him in while the seat is in the car coz it doesn’t spin and I can’t lift him with it coz I’m after c section. Also the najell carrier he bloody hates coz in summer it’s hot and uncomfortable, very rough fabric that rubs his legs. Oh and it doesn’t tie tight enough at the top if you petite . The najell sleep carrier lasted me 2 weeks and also doesn’t seem too light of safe after c section.

I honestly don’t know as I’ve never had a Moses basket myself, but it sounds like it sort of does the same thing maybe - I just know that I wouldn’t be without the carry sleep nest in our house 🙈 I probably would have both though! Xxx
