What stroller you are using? We have even flo travel system and car seat says up to 35lbs but it is already too tight for our baby! And she want to look around while riding and doesn’t want to lay down in basinet mode one. What can we do? 😭

Not sure why evenflo on amazon has such a great reviews, it has been two months and we can’t use it.

Uppa baby v2 Vista. It's got a bunch of different seats that fit different ages. We got it used on marketplace.

We use a Chicco, happy with it and using it for our second baby.

Question: does your car seat have an infant insert? Ours does, they get pretty squishy in it until you remove it. Ours uses the infant insert under 11 pounds, then we remove it for 11-30 lbs.

yes, we removed infant insert but it is still so tight. Plus we are in new jersey and it is cold out so I also dress her in sherpa onesie and it looks so uncomfortable 😭 evenflo description says up to 35 lbs and she is 13 lbs and doesn’t fit. So annoying that we need to buy other one at only 2 months.

do you use car seat in stroller or basinet? I am afraid if I pull basinet seat up it is not good for her because she is still small and not sitting.

Car seat in stroller (mine doesn’t have a basinet option.) I don’t think I used the stroller option alone until well after my son was sitting up, probably 7-8 months old. And we used the car seat until he was 16 months and only stopped using it because he got too tall.

If you do decide to change car seats, look into the target program, you can trade one in for money off a new one.

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?

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.

When does it get better?

I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....

Crawling

Did anyone’s little one start crawling yet? I feel like we are falling behind but really have no idea. I’m trying to introduce more floor time but it’s been rough because of having hardwood floors and our 80 lb oblivious to life dog. I got us a carpet for the living room and trying to put the dog out more when the weather allows. She sits like a pro and will roll to get the things she needs😅 but no real signs of crawling yet.

I bloody hate reflux!

How much milk would you say this is?( after a 6oz bottle) My 3 month old is bunged up, full of yet another cold and it's made her reflux worse.

She's already on gaviscon but that's the most shes ever spat up in one go. She's also been teething for the last few weeks too 🙄
