Baby hates pram

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

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

Self settling

Any tips or advice of how to teach 6.5month old to self settle? I’m up multiple times in the night to cuddle her back to sleep and put the dummy in. I understand she will wake up and want a cuddle etc but any tips on self settling would be appreciated 🥰

Baby losing weight

Hi all, it's been a long time since I had a baby (my son is 15!). My daughter is 10 days old and was 9lb born, she has since lost weight at every appointment and is at a 12% loss. I am breast feeding every two hours for over an hour and topping her up every feed. I pump and can get 60ml in 10 minutes so I know my supply is okay. Anyone had this before? Can give me some tips? I currently feel like I'm letting my baby down.

Did I overreact?

I have had 3 c sections, recently had a wisdom teeth removal (4) to be exact and all my mom did was visit the day BEFORE and then she only sent 1 text. She has NEVER spent one full day with me and doesn’t acknowledge my achievements much. She just isn’t there when I need her to be. She claims she’s always working but she lives like 7 minutes away! she can come help with the kids so my husband can have break? we don’t ask her for much and she only sees the kids 1-2 a month. She also didn’t visit with my last c section. I told her that she should’ve gotten the abortion when she had the chance with me because why would you have me and neglect me emotionally? To not actually give me a present father in my life. I am very angry all she does is disappoint me. She only wants to show up for certain people in the family and I just want to grab her and shake her and ask her why can’t she be a good present mother?
