Joie Parcel Stroller

I really love the Joie Parcel Stroller but looking at its folded dimensions, it won’t fit in British Airways cabin.

Has anyone been able to take it on the airplane ??

You don’t need to take a stroller in the cabin, most airlines will let you take one or two baby items for free and you can use your stroller until you reach the gate, then they take it to put in the hold

I wanted to avoid putting the pram in hold, as they always throw them around and damage them. I’d prefer to buy a stroller which I can bring into cabin with me x

fair enough, but if it’s really important to you I’d play it safe and pick one that is within the specified dimensions. And be aware that even then, they can and do insist that you check it in if it’s a busy flight and space is limited in the overhead lockers.

They do insist. But if it's within your hand luggage allowance you can refuse their request and there is little they can do really. Checking it in is a different degree of pain in different airports. Arriving at Heathrow when the flight is late with your child in your hands without your stroller and facing hours-long queue is not fun. Definitely worth the stroller you can take onboard.

we took a carrier for the time we didn’t have the stroller, it came in very handy! But it depends on the age and weight of the child I guess

I carried my daughter up until she was 14kg and it was very helpful to have a carrier with me, in case she does not want to stay in the stroller. Then I put all my belongings in the stroller and carry her around. When travelling with child I prefer as many options as I can have to be prepared for things that can go wrong. Especially when travelling alone. After midnight arrival to Heathrow, 6 hour delayed departure in Majorca, flight cancelled after we boarded the plan in Geneva and a lost car seat feel like our 300gbp silver cross jet was worth every penny:-)

how do you mean, if it’s within your hand luggage allowance you can refuse? Even if it’s too big for dimensions

It has to be within dimensions, if it's bigger they will force you to check it in. If it's within dimensions they still sometimes try to say it's company policy to check all buggies in, I just don't let them and make sure I have either paid for an extra carry -on, or have one carry -on less than included in my ticket by default

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.

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

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 🙂

Pumping advise

FTM to a 2 week old! I’m breastfeeding and then giving one formula bottle last in the evening before bed. I want to start expressing milk to give me some breathing room and also allow my partner to be more involved in feeding. I’m finding the idea of introducing pumping into my day quite overwhelming though. I don’t want to take milk away from my baby by pumping if he needs it during the day when being breastfeed.

Can anyone advise how I start pumping and when to do it? Thank you!

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.
