Bassinet stroller…?

I’ve heard so many different things online saying that you should have your baby in a bassinet type stroller instead of car seat stroller… I am a first time mom and am confused as to what kind of stroller to get? I already have a car seat jogger stroller. Should I get a second stroller that has a bassinet attachment on it? Should I get both?

I will say I had the car seat/bassinet stroller and it was really nice my son is two and till this day we still use the bassinet if we going on long trips so he can sleep comfortably I think it’s definitely a good thing to have when traveling in case your baby goes to sleep that way they get to lay flat if I’m not mistaken I have the graco 2 in 1 or sum like that

Bassinet is for longer walks or if you’ll be out for the day. Babies can’t be in a car seat for longer than a couple hours. I can link the one I have it my registry, it has both options. https://a.co/d/4vbvSYu

I missed the last part of your post.. check if the stroller you already have has an option for a bassinet attachment

It depends how much are you going to be outside with a stroller the very first months. If you have a backyard maybe you will just take the baby out to stay in a fresh air instead of going around with a stroller. We bought the bassinet attachment for my now toddler. She was born in December. I used the bassinet a handful of times because it was so cold outside and then for short trips to the doctor etc we used car seat and putting car seat onto the stroller with the attachment. The second bigger stroller we have is baby jogger gt2 and it goes down almost flat so when she was 3/4 months old we were already able to use that one. To sum up if you need a bassinet depends on how much you are planning to be going around in a stroller with a newborn baby and other stroller you will have. Some strollers good for newborns some strollers are from 6m old. Keeping newborn baby in a car seat for longer than 30m/1h is dangerous.

We got mom-push from Amazon for $120. We still use it (2 years old now). It was super important to me that she can sleep on walks and lay flat on her back. We only used the car seat when really needed. We also have a jogger. For the second one, we got an Evenflo dual seat, so that the toddler can sit in the front/bottom facing forward, and the baby can be in a bassinet OR car seat. I'm excited to try this out!

When did you circumcise your baby?
If you DID NOT or DO NOT have a circumcised son DO NOT comment this post is not for you!

Did you wait a certain amount of time or have it done immediately?
Again respectfully, this is only for the parents who choose to do so.
opinions about how not necessary it is will not be appropriate for this post. Thank you in advance. 🩵

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?

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 🙂

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.

Postpartum

I’m only 3 days postpartum (FTM) and already have extremely bad anxiety. I’m crying every night, as I think of another night of no sleep. My baby will not settle in his cot, he cries every moment we put him down unless in his chair rocker. So me and my partner are having to alternate after 3/4 hours of being awake with him downstairs. I’m trying everything to get him to settle. It’s a load of overwhelming stress. I’m 23, I was desperate for a baby and now I have one and feel completely useless. I miss it just being me and my partner.

I feel like just a milk cow

Hi I have a 16 day old via c section, I'm a FTM never having been around babies before as I am the youngest of my household and from a small family. My husband is fantastic with our little one. But ever since I've had the baby I just feel like the only thing I'm good for is producing milk. I feel disconnected from my husband like the only reason he's around is because am producing milk. We were having some issues before the baby and we're struggling it took a while to feel like he was onboard even though he said he was from the moment we found out. I dunno if I'm feeling like a spear part because I'm lacking confidence with baby or because I feel like he wouldn't mind being a single dad. Is this postpartum hormones or something else?
