Does anyone else’s baby hate the pram? Or maybe has an older child who used to but they’ve managed to transition them into it and has some tips?
She’s 6 weeks today, she started out on in her pram but is an absolute Velcro baby and I had to get a carrier to be able to get literally anything done around the house and cope with life. But now when we go anywhere it’s carrier or I’ll only get maybe 5 minutes out of her in the pram before I have to pacify her on my boobs when she’s not even hungry. I wouldn’t mind too much but I feel a bit bad as it’s my mum we spend most time with and she’s always in her £40 carrier instead of the pram mum bought us for £1800🤦♀️🙈 plus it means when we’re out visiting family no one else can cuddle her or even look at her because she’s all snug as a bug on me (which I obvs secretly love but I am starting to feel a bit guilty) - plus as she gets heavier for full days out I am thinking I need to get her used to her pram. Does anyone have any advice?

My baby is 11 weeks now and has just started tolerating the pram. If I walk constantly she’ll nap in it but otherwise it’s contact naps in the carrier all the way. Evie has reflux which is getting better which is why I think she doesn’t mind it

ok I’m just hoping as she gets older she’ll transition 😅

fingers crossed! My friends baby never really took to the bassinet but once she moved her in the pram seat she was much happier as could watch things and then would drift off to sleep that way while they walked.
I know the official guidelines are 6months if it doesn’t lie completely flat but once they have good neck control I know people including my friend that did it a bit earlier and just had the baby only slightly reclined
