Pushchair question

What pram is everyone thinking of? I went into Mamma's & pappas yesterday. I'm short 4ft 11" so I was recommended the nuna triv. Has anyone got any experience with this one?

I got the mamas and papas ocarro which is fab. I’m 5ft 3. Just a word of warning don’t get the Nina car seat it’s not supportive enough of properly safety tested

I’m 4ft11 and I’ve gone for the Mamas and Papas Strada due to needing a light pushchair. Baby isn’t here yet but I’ve test driven and lifted it home, hopefully it won’t be too difficult for me x

Side note, nuna infant seat is really badly made, very chin to chest, many mums end up getting 2nd one

I’ve gone for the Kinderkraft newly. It’s so cheap but also stylish looking, I’m also 4ft 11 and I’ve heard it’s a nice small pram x

I’m 5’ and got this one you’re looking at, absolutely love it although baby isn’t here yet

I came to second what Lenka has said. We had the Nuna travel system (not the Triv, a different one) for our first. I love the pram/pushchair but the infant carrier was awful, put her so chin to chest. I’ve since found out that Nuna car seats are notorious for bad positioning of babies. I would strongly advise against using a Nuna car seat x

Does it have to be Mamas and Papas? Smyths toys have loads of prams that is quarter of the price. I feel like the car seats that come with these travel systems aren't safe in terms of the chin to chest. There's loads on display in Smyth's if you wanted to test them with your height.

We got the mamas and papas occaro, I’m 5”4 and it’s great for me. The bundle also came with the cybex cloud T car seat which we’ve found great x

We got the Ocarro at the Baby Show in a huge bundle from Mamas and Papas and it was only £600 for everything (7 piece bundle and car seat)

Have a look at attending one of the trade shows. They have show prices and have last years colour stock so huge discounts. Plus you can try them all out on an assault course.

We got the Nuna Mixx Next Buggy with Carrycot and it handles so well. LG hates it but only because she wants to be held instead haha. It is quite a high pram (the reason we got it is because the seat and Carrycot sit a good few inches higher than others I looked at so she's closer to us and easier to get in/out as tall parents)
You should be able to buy without the car seat - we got ours in Black Friday as the Pushchair and Carrycot.
If you buy from Mamas and Papas for a later collection, just make sure they put it through the system correctly. We ended up having to find the Carrycot separate as the store put it through that we collected on the day we ordered and by the time I noticed the colour scheme was discontinued (it was a limited run) and they didn't really do much to try to apologise - just a refund or a different colour that wouldn't match the Pushchair.

The nuna Pippa car seat is not great for babies so I wouldn't buy it as a set. It tends to put babies in a very chin to chest position which is dangerous for their airways

I got the ocarro - I bought it online from winstanleys prams much cheaper than in mammas and pappas

Omg so many 4ft 11 ladies! I'm also 4ft11

I have a mio one, purchased locally, height adjustable handles and lowest setting is perfect for me

Avatar

I got a venicci travel system and it's amazing. The handles are adjustable too so it works well for me (5ft1 and my husband 5ft11)

We got the nuna Tavo travel system. We love the design so far and I have a few mom friends that love it.
I’m in Canada though and we have different requirements for car seats so I’m not sure if it will be a good recommendation for you.

Postpartum

I’m only 3 days postpartum (FTM) and already have extremely bad anxiety. I’m crying every night, as I think of another night of no sleep. My baby will not settle in his cot, he cries every moment we put him down unless in his chair rocker. So me and my partner are having to alternate after 3/4 hours of being awake with him downstairs. I’m trying everything to get him to settle. It’s a load of overwhelming stress. I’m 23, I was desperate for a baby and now I have one and feel completely useless. I miss it just being me and my partner.

When does it get better?

I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....

Night time routine

Heya, my 3 week old daughter is currently exclusively breastfed and I’m not pumping. Can anyone recommend the best way to share the load with my partner? At the moment I’m doing all the feeds/burbs/settling and my partner is sleeping through which obviously isn’t sustainable, I’m trying to work out the best way to get him involved. Any advice very much appreciated!

Can someone speak on drug screening and c section?

I smoked all through my first pregnancy and tested positive didn’t have any issues a social worker came in and spoke to me and hubby and that was it but this time I’m having an elective c section and wondering did they drug test you there?

Rapid cool/ hot shot method

Sorry if this sound stupid but how are we doing the hot shot method?
Are we boiling the kettle and letting it cool a little before adding to hot flask? Then with the cool water do you boil the kettle and leave it to cool right down before putting into another flask?
My baby brain is fried trying to work out the easiest way!
