Pram friendly city break

Can anyone recommend a pram friendly city in Europe? I have a baby carrier too but she does prefer her pram!

Great question! I’d love to hear people’s comments too. Following x

I found Berlin very pram friendly, very walkable and good public transport. Cheap zoo, lots of fun and colourful museums. Really enjoyed Vienna too, took our girl in the snow and the pram was fine. Lots to do, amazing food and her pram was welcome everywhere in restaurants.

A lot of European cities like Lisbon and Florence are just cobbles galore and hills.

Vienna! It’s very easy to walk around with wide pavements and very flat. As Sarah said above, a lot of city break places have cobbled pavements which can be awful for a baby in a pram.

ooo Berlin is a good shout. Was thinking maybe Copenhagen too

I was contemplating a city break to Barcelona, just me and my toddler to escape the rain in a few weeks. Having seen all the anti tourist protests though in Spain and people getting sprayed in restaurants… maybe not 😂

I actually loved Berlin and it has lots of Aldi’s for cheap nappies and supplies. There’s free walking tours around the historical centres and the edgy east side gallery and graffitied suburbs. The airport is only 20 mins away from the city centre which is really good too. Beer and bratwursts ❤️

Budapest is very flat so should be a good option.
Not porto or lisbon, that's very hilly.

Sweden! So accessible and family friendly. Message me if you’d like any tips as I’m a travel agent and just visited there myself 😊

We went to Copenhagen when LO was 5 months and was super easy to get around. Metros are great and have lots of lifts.

Stockholm is super baby friendly (biased as from there but still). Just been back again and never had any issues getting around, public transport is amazing and buses are free with a pram. It’s very walkable too, nice mix of city and nature.

I agree, I was there for 3 days and so want to go back!

Albufeira in Portugal ☺️pram friendly and kid friendly the locals are very welcoming and a lot of people speak English 🥺my little one loves it over there

Wdy think of this for a toddler to learn word construction?

I'm open to anything else to start teaching him to read and write. He's 3!

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.

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.

Vaccination advice

I’m really looking for advice and opinions on vaccines for my baby. I’m not against getting them but also just don’t feel like I know enough about them to make a decision just yet as I’ve had people say to me they don’t agree with them and they can cause issues etc… so I just want as much info as possible. What are everyone’s thoughts and experiences of vaccinating your child? I’m just interested to see everybody’s views (no judgement as I just want to know I’m doing the right thing) thank you x

Naps

How is everyone doing for naps?

Little one is 9 months old and will have 2 half hour naps and one solid 1 hour - 2 hour nap a day

Then settles for night around 9pm. Wakes for a feed around 3:30 then sleeps until 6-7
