Singapore airline travel with 4 kids + 2 individual prams

We’re booked for Singapore air with a 10yo, 8yo, 3yo & 10 month old. As we’ve only got 1 infant we’re only allowed 2 infant pieces. We plan to check in a travel cot and a pram (baby jogger city mini GT- it carries 30kg (my 3yo))
I also want to take our smaller cabin sized pram for our trip (1 month) so that on our travels we have a pushchair for both kids in the event they are separated when family babysit them & big walking days for when we’ll need the heavier capacity pram for my 3yo.

Does anyone know if the small cabin pram will go towards cabin luggage or “infant item” as we have 35kg cabin allowance between us. I can contact the airline but wondering if anyone has done this.

thanks! Did you check in 2 infant items also?

"Depending on the itinerary and class of travel, infants will be entitled to check in up to 10kg* of baggage, or a piece of baggage up to 23kg/32kg*, along with a fully-collapsible stroller and car seat.

Alternatively, you can carry a compact, foldable lightweight stroller on board the cabin. If you’re departing from Singapore, you’ll also enjoy an additional 6kg of cabin baggage allowance for breast milk, infant food, and baby amenities. If you're departing from or transiting through other countries, contact Singapore Airlines for the country-specific restrictions."

Based on that, it sounds like you can have a pram checked in OR a cabin stroller, not both x

Thanks! I am so confused because, with 2 adults & 3 kids we have such a large carry on allowance weight (no way we’re going to carry on 35kg🤣), that the cabin stroller could easily be within those requirements. I’ll have to contact them to get a definitive answer. Thank you

If you have a stopover somewhere and change to a partner airline, call them too. Found out half way through the trip that we weren't allowed to take our pram as carry on and had to check it. Couldn't even gate check 😔

To the mums of 2 kids

When and how did you know to have your second? My son doesn’t sleep well but this is the only difficulty we have with him, he’s an absolute angel otherwise. Me and my husband do want another, but when do you know when to try? My son is 9 months, and I think I want one sooner rather than later, so I don’t have to get used to sleep and no nappies to go through it all again. But then I question if I could cope with 2, or do you just get on with it?

Baby bouncers

Are baby bouncers good for kids to use from 6 months keep hearing it isn’t? Anyone else brought a bouncer for their child ? And hasn’t had a problem

Sleeping and breastfeeding

Baby slept from 12am to 5am last night but I woke up feeling really engorged. do other breastfeeding mums experience this? If so how do you resolve it?

I just want a day off.

I am EBF, so it’s not an option really. I doubt he would take a bottle at nearly 5 months and my plan was to feed until at least 6 months, but most probably beyond that. BF is easy in a way too!

The sleep regression has been wild. It’s getting me down. I just want one longer stretch of sleep. Not feeding every 30 mins-2 hours overnight. I resent my partner because of it, the freedom he has. He doesn’t even need to ask, he can just go somewhere alone. I have to ask for a break.

I really enjoyed motherhood up until now, where the lack of sleep is getting to me.

Post natal anxiety

Hello, I was wondering if anyone else suffered or suffers with post natal anxiety.
My husband is in the military and he was deployed for 4 months (he went when our daughter was 5 months old) 2 months into our deployment I began struggling with anxiety, severe panic attacks and OCD thoughts around health and safety. I put it down to him being away at first but then after some therapy it turned out to be post natal anxiety. I’ve had CBT therapy and I am doing a lot better than what I was doing but I still have that lingering but of anxiety which makes going out to coffee shops / restaurants / busy places still a bit of a struggle. It’s been around a month since my therapy stopped and was wondering how long did it take for people stopping therapy and working on themselves for the anxiety to stop! Thanks ☺️

Daytime naps

Where does everyone put their baby to nap in the daytime? At the moment mine just sleeps wherever (on me or the sofa) but thinking of maybe putting her to sleep in her cot?
