Airport/Holiday Stroller

Hey Mamas, looking for some recommendations please on a airport/holiday stroller that would be suitable for a 3 month old! I love the look of the Joolz Aer+ but this looks like it isn’t suitable until 6 months, we are going to Turkey mid June and baby will be 14 weeks. Google is also suggesting the Maxi Cosi Lara 2 but this isn’t compatible on all airlines, so I’m assuming it would go in the hold and we’d have to sling/carrier it, which isn’t a major issue! Some recommendations would be greatly appreciated 🩷🙏🏽

I’m pretty sure the Joolz Aer+ is fully lie flat, so you could have baby in there at 14 weeks, they’d just be facing out rather than in/ towards you

The Joolz aer plus is suitable from birth I think? I have it and it lies fully flat. I use this for everyday use for my 10 month old now and it is amazing. Worth every penny!

Air tag your pram if it’s going in the hold…ours just went missing. Sometimes if you take your pram in the cabin it means you don’t get other hand luggage so what are you doing about a changing bag…just something to consider if you actually need it in the cabin. Really depends on the airline.

We’ve got the silver cross clic for when we go on holiday when little one is 5.5 months as it fully reclines flat. I looked at the joolz and I’m pretty sure it’s only suitable from birth when you buy the carrycot part too, which is why we didn’t go for that one in the end x

If it you buy a “cabin approved” one they still don’t necessarily let you take it on board so always be prepared for putting in the hold. We have a baby jogger gt which was second hand. It’s amazing for holidays as it’s great on sand and cobbles, full upf hood too. It’s heavy and big but we remove the wheels and place it in a bag at the gate along with nappies and other bits that I pick up from boots which I don’t need on plane. We bought a silver cross jet with my first total waste of money flimsy, the wheels can’t handle anything other than normal pavements, it bleached in the sun and we were never allowed to take it on the plane

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

Combi feeding advice

Has anyone gone from EBF to combi feeding? Currently do one bottle of EBM per night and they one half formula half breast milk mixed in the day. The other times she still feeds on me. Ideally I want to feed all day via bottle and all night with breast. She’s 7 weeks and takes a bottle well, how long should I leave it before adding another bottle to her daily routine?
