Pram recommendations

Does/has anyone had an egg or icklebubba travel system, and can advise on their experiences with it, good or bad?

I would really like the Icandy peach 7, however, I’m also looking for options that are slightly cheaper.

Many thanks

I have the egg2. I tried out the icandy, egg and the ickle bubba. I personally found the icandy too bulky. I’ve loved the egg. It’s very compact and lightweight and I’ve used it over absolutely all terrains and it’s worked amazing. Although, I didn’t find any difference between that at the ickle bubba when I tried them out. I just really wanted the feather colour on the egg and the ickle bubba didn’t have any like it. Otherwise I would have got it as it’s soo much cheaper and in my opinion the exact same quality x

thank you! I’ve not managed to see any in person yet so not been able to compare the size of them all, but I am so in love with the icandy in biscotti! I loved the look of the egg 2 in feather too. How have you found keeping it clean, with it being such a light colour? Everyone says I’m crazy wanting to get a cream pram🙈🤣x

yeah I was very nervous about the colour of it 😂🫣but tbh it’s faired well and hasn’t got any marks or anything on. I’m just careful and you can get stuff to clean them too x

I tried the egg but then when I saw the oyster 3 who is made by the same company, I was sold. Practically the same except when folding the buggie down, the oyster can be folded all together, the egg has to be taken apart into two pieces which I felt was a bit of a pain. Oyster have just brought out the mink colour too which is the same as the egg in mink and I’m obsessed. Gorgeous pram and the handle isn’t as oddly chunky as the egg x

i have the ickes bubba stomp luxe 4 travel system and love everything about it, light weight but sturdy and secure and doesn’t feel cheap or flimsy, easy and convenient to fold down and change over the bassinet and car seat, and easy to clean.. i got it in the forest green colour with copper chassis and brown leather handles x

I was so torn between the Egg and the Icandy. Fell in love with the black Jurassic Egg but ended up going with iCandy because it was easier to fold down, has a carry strap and is slightly lighter (I live in an apartment so this was important to me). The bassinet is also bigger in the Icandy so little one shouldn’t grow out of it too quickly. There’s some really good deals around online, we managed to get ours for less than the standard RRP by ordering online and shopping around. The bassinets are also suitable for overnight sleeping on both Egg and Icandy which is handy if we end up being somewhere for longer than planned ect.

I bought the ickle bubba stomp v2 off Facebook for £100 including the whole travel system, the lady was lovely and let me try it out before I bought it to make sure I was happy and it was nice to have a one on one shown how to put it all together and fold it for the car!

Should I be concerned or am I overthinking?

My little boy is 15 months old, he’s recently taken his first steps and he says mamma and dadda and baba (he has said these for months) we’ve filled out the paperwork for his 12-14 month review and it looks like he isn’t meeting many of his milestones.

He doesn’t copy actions, point, clap etc. He doesn’t react when being spoken to, or to his name. He actively avoids eye contact.

He was so unresponsive to sound that we just had his hearing tested concerned he was deaf. They found that he could hear so he is just choosing not to react to any noises or sounds.

Has anyone else had similar experiences with their little ones? Should I be raising this with the health visitor and ask to be assessed for neurodivergent issue or a social communication problem like autism?

I don’t want to just slap a label on him, but I do feel that there are real concerns. All opinions welcome!!

Routines?

Any routines you have that work for you, please let me know them with timestamps. my baby is 6 weeks and just wondering when we should start them?

Does anyone else’s baby spit up breastmilk but not formula?

I’m seriously considering seeing a lactation consultant because I don’t understand why he can’t hold down breastmilk but can formula. I use soy formula since I’ve used it with my daughter and I’m thinking it might be due to not getting milk coming in for a few days so I had no choice but to give him formula, but now even if I take breaks in between feeding him breastmilk to burp or try to mix breastmilk and formula, he spits it up sooo much. I’m ready to just give him just formula because I’m worried about him not eating enough

I think Motherhood has made me more bitter than I realized…

This is such a ramble but I don’t know where else to put it all.

I’m four months in and I don’t really have hobbies right now. I don’t do anything for myself except maybe doomscrolling or listening to a podcast while I breastfeed my baby. I used to craft and have game nights with friends. Activities that usually are at least 2 hour stretches. Now if I have an hour free my mind immediately goes to baby, or doing something in the house for baby.

And I thought I didn’t mind. Like I knew postpartum could be very mentally consuming. But I think it’s altering how I view people around me and it’s prodding at my relationship with my husband.

He spends most of his time making food for us, looking after our dogs, playing with the baby, ect. But he still has time for his hobby. Spends maybe an hour a night on it. Even adapted to using a bot for shopping for his hobby after a certain incident where we had to have a heart to heart after he left me home alone with the baby for hours during a busy workday (I work from home) to shop for his hobby.

And yet there’s like this little green eyed monster in me that rages every time I know he’s running off to start up the bot. Even though I’m the reason he does it this way.

We took a family trip last weekend to see his best friend and their kids and let them meet the baby. He brought the laptop. He’s always brought a laptop on trips and it’s never been a problem to me before. But one night we both woke up while the baby was still asleep, and he wandered out of the room. I tried to fall back asleep but couldn’t. So I went to the kitchen to try having something warm to drink to settle me. And he was there at the table running the bot from his laptop. I flipped out at him. But there really wasn’t reason to. It’s not like I needed help with the baby and he was ignoring me. He wasn’t avoiding our friends. He was just awake and unable to sleep and found something to do with his time. Yet my snap reaction was “why the hell would you do this on a family trip?”

I don’t know what it is. Maybe it’s the less complete sleep from baby’s middle of the night feed? My brain being just consumed by baby? Maybe I’m not as over that shopping incident as I thought? But I’m just so annoyed at his hobby right now. The green eyed monster thinks “you could be using that time differently” but realistically to do what exactly??? Stare at our baby in the dark???

I spent probably an hour apologizing to him after I snapped. And he’s of course hurt and frustrated because I said some very mean things in the moment.

I don’t want to be this jealous, angry person. But I also don’t know how to find time for myself in this right now outside of basic hygiene. It’s like I’ve forgotten how to be myself, even if just for an hour.

Maybe I need a therapist.
