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.

Of these two, which seems more overall “demanding” to you, overall? Lighthearted poll, not putting anyone down 🫶🏼

As a mum who breastfed for 3 years, I think formula feeding seems 100x harder and more demanding. I give those mamas all the credit because I could not keep up with that faff haha. I truly don’t understand why people say breastfeeding is more effort, other than the fact that no one else can do it. But personally I’d take that over endless bottle prep & cleaning.

8 week immunisations

My 8 week old has his first set of injections tomorrow and I’m abit nervous. Does anyone have any advice for after the jabs? I know they get a temp after so have got some calpol to give just before hand. Should I put him to bed in less clothing to make sure he doesn’t get too hot? Any tips from your experience with first set of immunisations? Am I worrying more than I need to? 😅

Signs of Neurodivergent Toddler

Any moms of neurodivergent toddlers who could help me out? My son is 13 months old. I know that is technically too early for a diagnosis, but I have a gut feeling that he is on the autism spectrum.

The main sign he shows is hand leading. He does not point at all, and instead will take my hand and lead me anywhere he wants to go,
getting very frustrated if I do not follow.

He is also extremely sensitive to being touched, especially when it comes to hats and putting clothes on. He won’t let anything touch his head or face and I have to fight him to brush his teeth, comb his hair, etc.

He’s very interested in things that aren’t toys and will repeat the same behavior over and over. He can go in and out of doors or walk up and down stairs for hours. He loves taking things out of containers and putting the back in repeatedly.

We recently took him on his first vacation and he REALLY struggled with the change. He struggles with any type of transition or change in routine.

He laughs, makes eye contact, mostly responds to his name, but doesn’t do any other gestures.

Normal toddler behavior or signs of ASD? Let me know your thoughts!

4 month sleep regression

Does anyone else feel like they’re back in the newborn trenches through the 4 month sleep regression ?? 😭😭 my boy turned 4 months yesterday and the past 3 nights he’s woken up every 20-40 minutes. He does manage to get back off to sleep after I give him his dummy. It’s so strange though because his daytime naps don’t seem to be affected? He has 2 x long naps a day (around 2 hours) and a couple 30-40 minutes here and there and seems fine during them, it’s just his night time sleep! I read it can last for 6 weeks, I pray it doesn’t because I am shattered 🤣🤣

Is this a normal poo?

Apologies for picture included. 1 year old has had a funny tummy since Friday not watery diarrhoea but very explosive and paste like poo and he’s not being eating as much but been drinking his milk and water normally! Today we had this poo though and it seemed a very chalk like consistency and very pale. Just asking for thoughts and advice really. He did also have lots of cream on his bum.
