Advice on prams.

We are due December 18th. I have fertility issues & so it took us a year of trying with fertility treatment but 4 years not using protection.. anyways we’re planning to start trying again in august encase it takes us another year+ to get pregnant.. and we want our children to have a maximum of two years age gap..

Anyways I’m not sure whether we should just buy a cheap pram like the ickle buba zira due to finance issues or whether we should buy a pram that converts to a double buggy..

What would people advice? And if they do advice the double buggy which ones would you advice? Xx

I’m exactly the same!! Same due date and same reasons! We’ve opted for the icandy orange it can be converted into a duo pram. It’s pricey but we’ve got a deal £950 at online4baby includes isofix and car seat & all the extras. I think they offer payment plans too! Xx

I’m also in the same position - in our case there’s probably no point trying for non-assisted conception so if all goes well we’re hoping to have an embryo transfer late next year. We’ve got a Cybex Gazelle which converts to take two children. There were other cheaper options but I needed it to fit in my small car as well.

Bugaboo as they are built to allow to be a single and convert to a double with just an add on purchase rather than a whole new buggy

Thank you so much for all of your suggestions, I am going to look into those prams and look at what is affordable for us. Xx

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? 😅

11 month old constantly standing in cot

Please tell me someone has some advice for this cause wow it’s trying. My almost 11 month old is fully on the move now and his new favourite thing is repeatedly pulling to stand in his cot. The problem is that he wears a sleep sack (mainly so his legs don’t get stuck between the bars tbh lol) so he’s not stable enough to lower himself down. So earlier he fell backwards and hit is head and now we feel like we can’t just leave him to it. Typically it’s his first full day at nursery tomorrow and my first day back at work IT’S LIKE HE KNOWS!!
Please tell me someone has some tips. Currently we are quietly placing him back on his back every time but he just keeps doing it! 🤣🤡

Took 9 week old to a family party where there was loud music and she was next to the speaker for most of the time (about 3 hours). She slept through most of it. Do you think she has hearing loss from this?

Freaking out right now :(

My seven year old

Is out of control. Her dad and I share 50/50 and when she comes to my house she is so mean. And idk what to do

Struggling in the 4 month regression

How are people getting out of the 4 month regression? I’ve been looking it up and it says I need to be trying to put him down drowsy but awake but this does not work for my LO. Every time we do this he ends up being wide awake and after almost an hour of trying we have to contact nap/rock to sleep. I want to avoid rocking to sleep because now when he wakes up in the night he needs to be rocked back to sleep which he never used to need.

Nights are constantly broken because we are up 2-3 times to rock him back to sleep. Please give me your tips on how to survive this and how to get out of this!! Constantly feel like I’m failing and doing something wrong
