Changing mat recommendations?

Hey all - any recs for a good changing mat (wasn't planning on bothering with a table)? I know they have the wedge anti-roll style which look quite good, as do the Mama's & Papa's ones with the little pillow which aren't a cold material so might be preferable for baby. Any suggestions much appreciated ❤️

Hi Everyone

It's been 8 weeks now since I'm pregnant, and every time I lay down in bed, I need 3 pillows, if I don't have them I feel panic in my head, just wanted to ask if anyone else experienced this? On my normal days I only took one pillow. I just wonder why I panic. :(

Pregnancy pillows?

Help! I am 21 weeks and I think I need a pregnancy pillow for sleeping. I have always been a side/front sleeper (I basically sleep in the recovery position tbh) but I’m finding that uncomfortable now on my chest mostly so I keep waking up on my back which isn’t great. I don’t have much of a bump yet so I’m not su...

Breastfeeding pillow and plane travel?

My breastfeeding pillow is too big to use on a plane but is very useful generally. What else can I use on the plane to make feeding / napping comfortable and what about for the holiday itself? Baby will be 4.5months when we travel, and I think I’ll still be breastfeeding by then. Thanks!
