Travelling abroad with baby - taxi

Hi, strange question but anyone who’s been abroad with a baby how does it work in airport taxis? Do they provide car seats ? I’ve seen the way people drive abroad and I wouldn’t want my little girl to travel without one .

You can book transfers that come with car seats in them. They’re not the best quality, but obviously much better than travelling abroad in a car with no car seat. When we went to Spain last year we booked a transfer to and from our hotel which had a baby carrier car seat in, and an infant one for our two boys x

Hello, some people travel with a car seat or ask the taxi company if they would provide one for you. Not all do though. It also depends on where you are going I guess.

Some do but they are often bad quality !! It better to book in advance a transfer company with an appropriate car seat x

Personally I would be taking a car seat with me. I wouldn’t trust the car seats they supply (may have been in an accident and likely to be forward facing only). You can always just take an infant carrier providing your little one still fits in one x

We went to Spain and hired a mini bus and they put car seats in them but yeah they weren’t the best but better than nothing 😊

When did you circumcise your baby?
If you DID NOT or DO NOT have a circumcised son DO NOT comment this post is not for you!

Did you wait a certain amount of time or have it done immediately?
Again respectfully, this is only for the parents who choose to do so.
opinions about how not necessary it is will not be appropriate for this post. Thank you in advance. 🩵

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?

Postpartum

I’m only 3 days postpartum (FTM) and already have extremely bad anxiety. I’m crying every night, as I think of another night of no sleep. My baby will not settle in his cot, he cries every moment we put him down unless in his chair rocker. So me and my partner are having to alternate after 3/4 hours of being awake with him downstairs. I’m trying everything to get him to settle. It’s a load of overwhelming stress. I’m 23, I was desperate for a baby and now I have one and feel completely useless. I miss it just being me and my partner.

When does it get better?

I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....

Crawling

Did anyone’s little one start crawling yet? I feel like we are falling behind but really have no idea. I’m trying to introduce more floor time but it’s been rough because of having hardwood floors and our 80 lb oblivious to life dog. I got us a carpet for the living room and trying to put the dog out more when the weather allows. She sits like a pro and will roll to get the things she needs😅 but no real signs of crawling yet.

Silver cross pushchair

Has anybody had experience with the sliver cross cove or breeze? Me and my partner can’t make an agreement 😅 I like the cove but is it worth the extra money to the breeze?
