Recommendations for prams

I’ve been looking at prams but am stuck on what to go for, I quite like the Nuna mixx next bundle or the Mamas and Papas Ocarro.

Does anyone have any other recommendations 🤍

One thing I would say when looking for a pram that I know other mums that I met struggled with, if you or your partner are fairly tall bare that in mind as some are smaller than others and also if the pram has the egg shape rim on the pram it can get cramped for legs when they get bigger. I only say this because some mums I met had to transfer their little ones earlier then recommended due to out growing the bassinet. Also if you plan on having more children possibly close together in age the prams designed for a growing family are a good choice. It’s something I wish I had thought about when getting ours. For me personally I wish I had gone for the silver cross wave for this reason plus it’s a good size in both bassinet and leg space.

Definitely agree with Khya above, my partners sister helped us look and that’s exactly what she said. It’s good to go to a shop and try some out if you can. We’ve gone for the Venicci Tinum Egde and upgraded the car seat to maxi cosi pro as this goes on the pram frame too. The Venicci pram folds really compact so is good for travel and the bassinet is a good size compared to others ☺️

I have the Nuna mixx, can’t wait for baby to arrive so I can use it. It has a handle that moves up and down so that my husband (6’2”) and I (5’1”) can both comfortably use it. I also like that the pram is higher up so there’s less bending to put baby in or out

I think it’s quite an individual thing. I need an all terrain one because we live very rurally. You need to think about height for you and your partner, size/weight when it’s folded, if you want it to potentially convert to a double in the future etc. based on this I decided to go for the icandy. I nearly went for the ocarro but the basket isn’t good and also it doesn’t convert I felt like you get more for money with I candy xx

Big wheels are a must I think! We went for Thule as they’re great for all terrain use, and have been really pleased with it! Bought the running one, normal one and now the toddler one.. so they must be doing something right!

Really recommend uppababy vista - we bought the v2 for my son 2.5 years ago and I’ll be using it with both my children when second comes along. It’s got a big basket underneath and all terrain wheels.

I fell in love with the Nuna Mixx Next but then heard a lot of bad reviews about the car seat not being ideal - baby is chin to chest quite badly.

We decided on the Mamas & Papas Ocarro instead. I feel this was the next best thing that’s quite similar and we’ll be getting the Maxi Cosi cabriofix car seat to go with x

I fell in love with the bugaboo fox 5, because we needed something that would be okay on most terrains as we often take my step kids to the forest at the weekend.

Initially my partner was reluctant because of the price, but once he tested it - he agreed. And previously for his sons he had the bugaboo Donkey - which both he and his ex said was the best pushchair they’ve ever had.
So I’m confident I made a good choice with bugaboo!

I picked the mamas and papa Ocarro travel system in Griege💗

I’m going with the Nuna Triv Next as it’s a big lighter and we live in London so will need to carry it up and down stairs on trains and tubes.

Poop question

Hey mommas I’m a ftm and my babygirl hasn’t pooped in two days she’s formula feed and is 12 weeks old. I can tell she’s uncomfortable and I feel so bad. I’ve been doing belly rubs and bicycle kicks and all the things like that. Also gave her some gas drops and gripe water to relieve the gas but still no poop. Does anyone have any tips or tricks for me. Pic so we don’t get lost💕

Health Visitor Home Visit

Hii, could anyone explain what the health visitor does on their home visit?

Also if anyone had a home birth, what the midwife home risk assessment involves?

I’ve got 3 home visits coming up in the next two weeks (health visitor, midwives and doula) and it’s making me nervous for some reason. I think having 3 just feels like a lot and a bit invasive if that makes sense!

Who else is out there holding a baby thru the night so his noises dont wake up the house?!

I cant believe im still doing this at 15 months old!!!

My 2nd child is not just the noisiest sleeper but they have always been weird with breastfeeding

I think currently he is having some kinda developmental leap and growth spurt, eating and drinking like crazy and in the middle of the night if he wakes up , it takes ages to put back to sleep and he rolls around making sooooo much noise!!!

And i either have a low supply now OR he loves a fast flow and so he just jumps off the boob when it slows and complains loudly or just talks cutely but loudly! and i have to keep swapping boobs OR i have to get up and hold him and feed so gravity helps and the flow is faster and holding him means he eventually sleeps or at-least is feeding properly so is bloody quiet now! So at 1 am or 3am or often 5am onwards im holding n feeding until he wakes up 🥲🥲🥲

Any tips?

How’s everyone’s babies sleeping?

My little one is 19 weeks, she used to sleep through when we would put her to bed at around 10pm, she would sleep through until 6-7 am.
Now she gets so tired around 8 pm so we moved her bedtime here, but coming with this is 1-2 night feeds and she’ll be wide awake at 6 am, which I know is still amazing but I am currently as sick as a dog so hasn’t been the best for my flu 🤣.
I’m unsure whether this is the regression though as her naps are very scattered throughout the day with the max nap being 30 minutes through contact only.
Does this sound like the regression? When did your little one start sleeping through again if they ever did? Thanks in advance 🤗❤️

How are we entertaining our babies

What toys does everyone have for their 7 month old?
Nothing is satisfying my little girl she's got blocks, rattles, playmats loads more. She would much rather hold my hands and walk all day but I cant physically do that and whenever I put her down to play she just wont, is this just a faze?
