Transition from carrycot to stroller?

Has anyone transitioned yet from carrycot to stroller? My baby is 16 weeks now and I'm not sure when to transition. She loves looking around and is very nosy so I'm worried the carrycot might now be too boring for her.

I moved over about 4 weeks ago. We have the silver cross Clic so it can be laid flat. We started him with a slight increase and he loved it. X

We changed over about a week ago and she is 14 weeks now , she absolutely loves it and now actually can fall asleep in there. Hated the carry cot! Our one is able to be laid down or at an angle x

We moved over when my baby was 15 weeks. He loves looking around and started to not like being in the carrycot anymore. Not to mention he was getting too long for the carrycot 🙈 The seat in our pushchair can be laid flat too for when he’s napping x

I did at 7 weeks. 😅 does lie flat though 90% of the time, but he van see much more- he loves it

We are going between the 2 as our LO loves the comfort of our carry out but when’s she’s awake she loves the upright position and loves to look around! She def prefers facing me tho, she has briefly been in a yoyo babyzen for a couple of walks ready for holidays but likes to be facing me better at the moment! And it folds flat so we can flex

Yes! Transitioned a few days ago as he was getting too big for the carrycot. He seems to love it!!

We've tried, but he hates being strapped in 🤦🏼‍♀️

yeah I did as well! Mine also lays flat but she sometimes fusses to be at angle so she can look around! So cute

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!

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! 🤣🤡

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

Bedtime

What time are you getting your LOs down for the night now and how are you finding bedtime? We’ve had the sane routine since my daughter was a few weeks old - bath with her older sister and 6.45, followed by a bottle and ideally in bed by 7.30. This worked at first but over the last few weeks she’s been fighting it a lot and, with the exception of a few days last week which were a lot easier, it’s a bit of a battle to get her down and features a lot of screaming and resettling. Not sure if we are putting her down too early or late? Her last nap is usually a cat nap (30-45 mins) and finishes by 6. She’s pretty good at settling herself from a night feed, but seems to be unable to do it at bedtime, even with her dummy.
