Double stroller or not??

We’ll be going away with a 2.5yr old and an 8 month old. Debating if I need a double stroller, 2 singles or 1 single and a buggy board? The 2.5yr old doesn’t really nap and walks loads but I’m not sure if the buggy board would be sufficient all the time 🙈

If it helps, I hired a twin yoyo2 stroller from tinyexplorers.co.uk for a city break to Amsterdam in Jan which came with an adapter to connect the two buggies together to use as a double when required. Sometimes we used them separately at the same time for my then 2 year old and 7 month old, or even left one back in our hotel when we were just going for a short walk

Enjoy your holiday x

I’m taking two singles. My 7 month old will be in hers a lot and my almost 3 year old will be in it outside of the hotel xxx

We’re a few weeks back with our 2yr old and 8month old and also only use a single with buggy board at home. I rented the baby jogger double from www.tinyexplorers.co.uk for the week and so glad we did, he still loved walking places but when we were at the airport or went on a day trip it really came in handy and it was so easy to get up and down. It was so simple ordering online, delivered for going and then a courier collected once we were home, I would definitely use again x

I’d say double stroller. Can take 2 singles and have the attachment to connect the two together. Your toddler may want to still sit sometimes if they get tired from walking and standing on buggy board

circumcision

are we circumcising our boys? or leaving that to dad?

Should I be concerned or am I overthinking?

My little boy is 15 months old, he’s recently taken his first steps and he says mamma and dadda and baba (he has said these for months) we’ve filled out the paperwork for his 12-14 month review and it looks like he isn’t meeting many of his milestones.

He doesn’t copy actions, point, clap etc. He doesn’t react when being spoken to, or to his name. He actively avoids eye contact.

He was so unresponsive to sound that we just had his hearing tested concerned he was deaf. They found that he could hear so he is just choosing not to react to any noises or sounds.

Has anyone else had similar experiences with their little ones? Should I be raising this with the health visitor and ask to be assessed for neurodivergent issue or a social communication problem like autism?

I don’t want to just slap a label on him, but I do feel that there are real concerns. All opinions welcome!!

Routines?

When did you start to introduce your baby’s routine? Do they just have a night routine or full day routine? Wondering when I should start this e.g naps at the same time everyday.

Any routines you have that work for you, please let me know them with timestamps. my baby is 6 weeks and just wondering when we should start them?

Does anyone else’s baby spit up breastmilk but not formula?

I’m seriously considering seeing a lactation consultant because I don’t understand why he can’t hold down breastmilk but can formula. I use soy formula since I’ve used it with my daughter and I’m thinking it might be due to not getting milk coming in for a few days so I had no choice but to give him formula, but now even if I take breaks in between feeding him breastmilk to burp or try to mix breastmilk and formula, he spits it up sooo much. I’m ready to just give him just formula because I’m worried about him not eating enough

Reflux

I need some help my baby is 6 weeks old and recently when I try and wind him after his bottle he’s not bring any wind up and just keeps being sick, I’ve tried infacol but that doesn’t seem to be doing much.

Bed time tips for 8 week old

So I literally cannot get my 8 week down to sleep before 11:30pm every night no matter how early we start our routine. We tend to do bath every second night but every night consists of feed, up to bed, into pjs, book, feed to sleep. We could start this routine at 7 and it would still be the case of not selling til 11:30.

She doesn’t nap during the day well, we get a 30 minute in the morning, and a 1 hour in the afternoon only if I’m out the house. She’s never distressed when she’s awake all that time, quite the thing being nosey and having cuddles. She’s EBF and her feeds all through the day are LONG and last from 30-45 mins each feed.

Any tips/advice recommended on how to get to bed earlier or just how to get her to sleep in general.
