Icandy peach 7 to Bugaboo Donkey 2

I’m expecting my second baby and my first will have just turned 2.
I’m unsure if I’ll need a double pram as my toddler doesn’t use it much but some days I’m sure I’ll need it!!!
Has anyone gone from icandy peach 7 to a Bugaboo donkey 2, I’ve seen people say it’s quite big and bulky, the Icandy is fairly big I’d say and if I make that a double it will be, so just trying to decide if it’s a good switch!

I’m due my 2nd in August and also have the icandy peach… I’m going to leave it till nearer the time to see if I need to buy the other fabric to make it a double or wether my toddler will be happy using the built in buggy board! … we personally hated the donkey even in single mode it was huge even compared to the peach 😅 I think it’s a marmite pram people either love or hate it. I’d go and see it in person and see what you think x

I really don’t like the look of the Icandy as a double, it doesn’t look great for either child!! But it is probably just once a week long days out that worry me! Although I do also think about maybe needing to have somewhere secure for the toddler while tending to the baby! She will probably run off or something wild while I’m trying to feed or change a nappy which makes me think I’ll need a double!!!

Had the icandy peach 7 and decided to sell it to opt for an out n about nipper. It’s so much lighter.
I found the icandy was getting too heavy without adding another child.

I agree the donkey is a marmite of prams however I prefer side by side so one baby isn't restricted on view or kicking the back of the others ones chair. My 1st will be 14 months when #2 comes and I'm looking at buying a donkey second hand so if I hate it I'll pass it on and buy something else. One thing to consider if you use buses is the donkey struggles on buses and even won't fit (uk buses) admittedly I'm in no rush to purchase the double and I'm due beginning of March as will use a carrier and single for a little while until I buy the double. It's a shame there aren't more baby stores now as that would make making a decision so much easier. X

I had the icandy peach for my 3 month old and 2 year old I found it really heavy to push and to get up curbs. Also found it really hard to get baby out of the carrycot too.

I now have a bugaboo donkey and i actually find it lighter to push both of my little ones and so much easier to access baby with carrycot too. My 2 year old also used his board a few times too x

We have the I candy peach 7 have a 6 week and a 18month old. Find it useful that you can have just the bassinet or the chair or both without changing the attachments. Pram is still light weight even with both chairs. It is a bit bulky to get in the car but as placed infront of each other have no problems with doors. When my older ones gets a bit bigger going to get a toddler board. We do have a collapsible pram for the toddler that was bought for going on holiday so sometimes have little one in the sling and toddler in the collapsible if we want a less bulky option.

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.

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 🙂

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.

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

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.
