Big stroller - travel

Has anyone travelled with the big stroller rather than a travel one? Do they still allow you to take it all the way to the plan gate? Should I just stick with the travel one?

Is this normal behaviour ?

I have a friend who I go on regular play dates with (as my lo is not at nursery) he is wild, hyper and just crazy like running around, doesn’t keep still, hasn’t got much attention span etc but I thought it’s normal for almost 2, but the girl I hang out with says she feels like he has ADHD. Could she be right?

How are we putting these rambunctious babies to sleep?

Not liking laying down

Anyone else’s baby at the moment hating laying down… I’m trying to find ways to prop him up as he absolutely hates being on his back. Even when it’s coming to sleep time, nights are becoming more tiresome trying to keep him asleep when transferring him to his cot. He’s loving it in a car seat though😅🤷🏼‍♀️
