I know that the FSID recommendation is to always use a new mattress for each child, and this might sound like a really stupid question, but would you apply this to the pram too?? Planning to use the bugaboo carrycot for new bubba to nap in downstairs for the first while, but will be in the double when we're out & about, and wasn't sure whether should have a new mattress for bugaboo?

Unless your first was a very 'sicky' baby I wouldn't worry. The concern is around potential mold spores in the mattress. My mattresses has protectors on, which came off for washing so I washed what I could, aired everything really well & re-used, after lots of reading & asking others what they did.


Do what you feel comfortable with - no point fretting.


Hope that helps.

We are using the same cot mattress (and cot) with Lex that we did with Seb. We did as Molly did, cleaned and aired everything as best we possibly could. To be fair, he only used the cot/mattress for about 6 months- we coslept till he was 10 months and he moved out of it into his bigger cot when he was about 16mo...
Thanks ladies, was kind of what I was thinking but thought I'd see what the thoughts were!! Bubba 1 was not sicky at all (fingers crossed for a similar model!!) and her pram mattress always had two sheets on it and a muslin under her head so i reckon anything at all that was sicked or drooled was fairly well contained before it could have got near the mattress, thks x

    • He seemed to me to be fully immersed in the Jeremy Corbyn ethos of the Labour Party. I dint think that (and self describing as a Marxist) would have helped much when Labour was changed under Starmer. There was a purge of people as far left as him that he was lucky to survive once in my opinion.   Stuff like this heavy endorsement of Momentum and Corbyn. It doesn't wash with a party that is in actual government.   https://labourlist.org/2020/04/forward-momentum-weve-launched-to-change-it-from-the-bottom-up/
    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???     
    • That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls. 
    • There used to be a better baker than Gail's on the same site immediately before Gail's pulled their financial muscle.
