Train travel (10wo with travel system)

Hi, I'm looking to take a 3h train journey with my 10wo. I'd have to take the travel system as I will need the car seat at the other end. Most websites say you have to collapse the buggy but he's so heavy I think I'd struggle to carry him in the car seat. I don't think he'd settle in a carrier so that isn't an option (also what would I do with the car seat then?). Also my buggy is quite large so not sure if that makes it more of a problem?

Anyone have any experience or advice? I'm wondering if it's just not worth it?

No advice to give but I'm also looking to travel to Blackpool and London possibly later in the year with my little boy and a pushchair so also need the advice 🙈

Depending on how busy the train is most train lines allow you to put the pram in the disabled section or if the bike area is big enough then in there however they do say that if someone gets on the train who is in a wheelchair then you’ll likely have to fold the pram down. I’ve never had to fold it down, as of yet! (My baby is 7 months almost). Most doors on the train are pretty wide apart from avanti which is about the average door width so should be big enough for the pram. The only issue you may face if it’s busy is having the pram in the corridor.
I travel regularly between Scotland and England so 2/3 trains over a 4.5/5 hour journey x hope this helps somewhat :)

I think it sounds a lot harder than what it is, once you’ve done it once you’ll be fine :)

thank you. I think you're right, and it's one of those things that looks/feels more daunting than it actually is! 🤞

Do men really enjoy fellatio?

Been together more than 10 years, but it's been a while since he even seemed remotely interested in me getting on my knees, or vice versa so to speak. I think it was once last year. Must be something I am doing wrong 🤔. Generally everything else in that department is great and we have two young kids with no extra support, so it's quite surprising we can't keep our hands off each other but may need to try new things. It's basically 2 positions each time with some foreplay.

Car seat crying

My 6 month old PANICS the second I put him in a car seat and screams, cries, chokes and recently even projectile vomited on a 14 minute drive. It’s gotten to the point I don’t even bring him out unless it’s to a doctors appointment. I’m a stay at home mom with no family in my state and it has been very isolating. We’ve tried 3 different car seats with no improvement. Has anyone had a baby who hated the car seat? Any advice? This started at 3 months. I will add it does seem worse when he’s tired. He does cry on every trip though. He only contact naps and co sleeps so he reaches for me and will not sleep in the car seat.

Vanilla extract

Has anyone used alcohol free vanilla in their babies formal to help them drink?
I’m 100% sure my baby refuses her bottles as she doesn’t like the taste of it!

Just anxious to try it, don’t want her to get used to it and then refuse bottles again after two weeks of using (correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve read you use it for 2 weeks max)

TIA 🙂

Sex post C section

Hi ladies I’m 4 weeks 5 days postpartum and I had a C section. I’m not bleeding properly anymore just some brownish discharge stuff that starts on and off. I’d like to do the deed with my partner; is it okay to do so or shall I wait the full 6 weeks. I feel up for it but also worried because the advice is 6-8 weeks.
