Pram recommendations!

Hi! I’m due with my second baby in August and my first will be 20 months so looking at getting a double pram. Can anyone recommend whether a tandem pram or one where the babies are next to eachother is better?

Dummy in car

Is it safe to give my 3 month old a dummy in the car? He has recently taken to screaming for most journeys unless someone is sat in the back with him and I'm worried it is quite distracting for me. Do I need to tether the dummy to his clothes so it can't fly around in the event of a crash?

Baby scalp oil

Diaper size

Has anyone went down in diaper sizes for their little? My girl was in size 5 since she turned 1 because of her chunky lil thighs but ever since she started walking & running she’s slimmed down a bunch , and the rolls are no longer as chunk😭 But ive noticed size 5 was a little big & went to size 4’s . anyone relate?

Carriers

What carriers are we all using? I have a couple of the Ergo Baby ones but my baby gets frustrated because he can’t see over the top well (the top of it comes to just below his eyes) and he wants to look around more. Bonus points if you can get it on by yourself easily and quickly.

Travel prams? Recommendations please!

So! I’m completely over my travel system! Assembling it and clicking and clacking the bits together really isn’t ideal when my 13 month old is mid tantrum while we’re outside. So, I’d like some recommendations of good, compact, easy fold travel prams? I’ve heard some good stuff about the Nuna and also the Joolz. Bu...

Baby bath soap

Any recommended bath soap for sensitive skin? Currently using Johnson’s top to toe for newborns but I think it’s making my 3 week olds skin even dryer? Skin looks worse after each bath time. Only a pea size amount used every 3-4 days.

Washing help!

Put a load of kids washing on that had no stains/marks on and this white t shirt has come out of the wash with grey stains on?? Anyone know what it is or how to get rid of it? Strangely enough I remember this happening last summer with just one white t shirt too! Had to bin the shirt as couldn’t get the marks off 🤔

Wipes

What wipes is everybody using now for their toddlers bums and faces? We've used the Amazon wipes up to now but they just aren't cutting the mustard anymore. We've recently been to America and used the parents choice wipes from Walmart but can't find an equivalent here.
