Advice please

My boyfriends dad and partner have bought this for when they have my daughter but she is only 3 and a half months old. Apparently the lady who sold them it at the shop said it’s suitable from birth but surely that can’t be right?

Does it recline?

yes it does. She is quite a small baby so I just don’t know if it’s safe enough for her

I’d just check the fine print yourself x

Can’t they just use your pram ?

does this stroller have a bassinet attachment sold separately? it looks similar to my Mockingbird. I used the bassinet attachment until my girl was about 5.5 months old

I keep the pram in my car but when we last visited just for a meal they had this pram. I don’t know why they bought it if I’m honest as I would bring my pram to them

the one they bought doesn’t it’s exactly how the picture looks. I don’t think you can take out or add anything onto it. But the pram I have has got a bassinet. I keep the pushchair in my car too so I always have it with me. They bought the pushchair we use so don’t know why they bought this one

okay that’s great thank you x

We have this one, it does lie flat by pulling some string bit on the back. My daughter was 2 when we stated using this though I wouldnt feel comfortable putting my 3 month old in it, its not the sturdiest pram

We put my 3month old in this for a weekend in Edinburgh and it was fine, it technically is suitable from newborn but I cant see how tbh.
Our baby was so slanted over in it, we attached his foot muff and hes quite a sturdy strong baby so it should be fine for short walks. We also stupidly didnt realise it lies flat so just strapped him in tight but he wouldve been fine if we had figured out how to lie it down

thank you. It’s just my little girl seems quite small to be going in that, I know they would go down and walk her down a bumpy road down to the local field near their house that’s all

Yeah I was really worried about the cobbles in Edinburgh but we actually thought it was much sturdier than it looked and we hadn't even got him laying flat in it. And he loved seeing out. But we were super impressed with it

Have a look at the instructions, but if it lies completely flat when she’s strapped in and the straps are adjustable can be tightened/loosened, it’s fine to be used from birth. Mine was in a similar silver cross one from about 3 and a half/ 4 months as she outgrew the bassinet and the seat unit in the travel system was from 6 months up so had to buy a smaller stroller like this x

I have this stroller for my 1 year old and I wouldn’t want to put a 3 month old in this, I would say 6 months at the very earliest

Hour night wakes and 5am get up

Can anyone shed some light as to why on earth my child doesn’t want to sleep??? My eyeballs are bleeding!!

Never been a good sleeper, but the problems always changing. He’s nearly 9 months old.

Beginning of the month he dropped to 2 naps. We could put him to bed at 7pm and he’d get up for the day at 6am, with multiple wake ups every 2/3 hours.

Now we put him down at 7pm, he can do a good 4/5 hour stretch, but come 1/2am he’s up every hour then getting up for the day at 5am. This then completely messes up the day because I can’t keep him awake long enough to even get to 7pm, let alone later.

He has 2 naps, roughly about 1hr10 each but it changed based on when he wakes and trying to get him to a reasonable bed time.

What could be the reason for this? 6am is fine, but 5am is not 😩😩

AITA

In the uk there is an outbreak of meningitis, in a specific area mainly. My BD has family from that area and decided to go and meet up with them, I said if he does then he cannot have contact with the kids for 7-10 days after incase he picks anything up. Am I being over dramatic? I reallyyy don’t want my young kids getting anything serious

I think its fair

Me and my partner agreed to sleep in 1 day of the weekend.
He doesn't find it fair to look after both kids (my 4 year old isnt his) while i sleep so he looks after the baby while i sleep and my toddlers at his dads and ill look after both the next day.
Straightaway it was pretty unfair as i let him sleep in until he wakes up 10-12
He wakes me up when baby starts fussing because he wants milk (doesnt need it)
I cant pump as i dont supply enough.
So i get woken at 9/9:30 to feed baby then i get him sleep then theres no point sleeping in as my toddlers being dropped off.
I also find it unfair that i get both kids to sleep most night, i get my toddler to sleep everyday hes home (4/5days) and i get my baby to sleep most nights with the exception of maybe twice a month as his dad struggless then about 95% of his thru the day naps.
I have also been unwell for a few months (tumor scare) and am waiting 18 weeks to see a specialist so im obviously petrified for that, so unbelievably tired and alot of aches and pains, specifically these pounding headaches ive been having.
After i had been up til 11:30 getting both kids to sleep lastnight and my partner falling asleep at 10 then him ignoring the baby cries all morning until my toddler woke up im fed up slammed to door and rold him not to expect to sleep in unless he gets the baby to sleep the night b4.
I keep having issues with him not feeling the wet from baby being sick or weeing himself or being able to smell it do about 98% of the time hes given to me i have to clean him up n change him.
Including at night, we agreed my partner would change nappies (1 a night at 5am) while i feed (2,4,5,6:30) but every night when i get him hes pissed through and my partner gets annoyed when i wake him up n moan about it.
Then the morning after hes annoyed at how much washing there is (thats his job) and moans about how often i change myself (baby constantly shits thru and sicks on me) and baby
Honestly im just so tired all the time

Over supply of milk

I am nearly 5weeks postpartum and I have such a big over supply of BM.
Has anyone donated / sold their supply, if so where do you recommend for this?

Crawling and walking

So my girl is 9 months now and shes great at sitting up and stays on her tummy for awhile but she seems to have no interest in trying to move or crawl or bum shuffle. Shes a big baby always has been but I'm disabled and I feel like it's my fault she's not hitting milestones I feel like there's something I'm not doing and it's making me a bad mum

Night feeding in sleeping bag

Do you guys keep your baby in their sleeping bag when you feed them in the night, or do you take it off? I take it off as don’t want him to be too hot but then sometimes when he’s sleepy after his feed and I go to put it back on him he wakes up and is fussy. Not sure if I should just keep him in it?
