Has anyone bought a beige colour pram?

We always said we would buy a pram in black to be more practical. I love this colour but I'm not sure how much il regret it 😬 we live in a rural area and I'm due in October.

We have a beige pram, we were October babies last year 🥰 aside from the odd crumbs now it's not really a place where they have messy food! Ours has no major marks on it nearly 9 months later so I don't regret getting a light colour!

Avatar

I have! I was the exact same and thought well light stains will show on darker prams anyway so just went for the one I really wanted!

We had the Nuna for our first. It's a fab pram but we found it quite hard to keep it clean and ours wasn't fully beige. But then, we're also reasonably rural, it got packed up for being on the road a lot, carted round my parent's farm and goes in the same car space as the dog. I don't think any of the marks are anything you couldn't get out though if you really wanted to.

thank you for replying ☺️ My worry is more with the seat, when I fold the pram with the seat attached that the muddy wheels will ruin the material or il be forever cleaning it but I love the beige so much 😅

Avatar

Ahh OK, unsure how that one folds but our Ocarro from mamas and papas has faired well on the moors a few times! It's an all terrain pram, so weighty but very sturdy and perfect for off roading trips 😌

I went for sage green as less likely to show dirt but still not black/boring!

I bought the cedar colour of this onr

not sure this is helpful but I've got this pram in cedar. I'm worried about muddy wheels as well but you can buy pram wheel covers on Amazon for about £10. Might be a bit of a faff but hoping they'll help keep the pram clean 🤣

thank you, I didn't know this was a thing! Xx

Defo go for black for practical purposes !

I’ve got a black pushchair and then I’ve also got the Nuna but in grey. My grey Nuna looks cleaner than my black pushchair. Black seems to show more dirt than grey but I think beige would probably show even worse.

Also, a top tip is to buy some shower caps and put them over the wheels. Cheaper than proper wheel covers and less faff, just stretch the shower cap over each wheel and voila! X

I don't think Iv seen this one! What is the name of it please? xx

We had a beige pram (mamas and papas Ocarro in Cashmere) and 2 years on it’s still good as new. Going to use it for new baby due in October and don’t intend to deep clean or anything as it’s not needed! I love the beige colour and definitely feel like it doesn’t show marks/dirt as much as a black one would.

🙈🙈😵🤣 Happy someone flagged this! I have been hopelessly choosing our pram for a month now! Decided on the brand and model BUT for dear Lord I cannot decide between light grey and black!!! Literally got people recommending grey as it's not sad, more unique, attracts less sun in hot weather (tested that IRL) BUT the issue and my worry is the dirt! How that will show as planning to use the pram off road and in the woods 😄
Black looks neat and elegant in my opinion but also boring and worried about the basinet being too hot in hot weather. Although I did buy summer roof already which is white and got nets 🤣🤣😵 Hopeless yes!

Avatar

We were always adamant that we would get a black pram because it should be easier to keep clean but when we went to look at them we fell in love with the beige one so ordered it 😂 they said it’s machine washable anyway and that black shows up just as much like baby sick/dribble etc! So we’re taking the risk xx

Avatar

I bought a Nuna mixx next in the mineral colour so half grey/half cream and as much and all as I am obsessed, you do notice the dirt come up much easier 😅 also with mine I didn’t realise you couldn’t take the whole fabric off the frame to clean it. Wouldn’t change it though as not many people go for cream/beige prams

Avatar

I have a black pram and it shows every mark. Go with the colour you like the most. 🙂

Avatar

It looks lovely! We also went for the lighter colour (light grey) So hoping it will be great. Didn't open it although it came 3 days ago, but both working a lot so had no time. Hopefully next week 😅

Avatar

Hi all! How are your beige/ light grey prams now, a year later?! Due in Dec and going through the same thought process you went through haha

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.

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 🙂

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

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.
