Best double stroller?

Have sold my Icandy double pram as was sick of how bulky and heavy it was and now my daughters nearly 5 month and son 2 I thought a stroller would be best. Do people recommend a side by side or one in front of another. If side by side, what are they like for getting in shops/buses/trains? Help a gal out 🙏

I have the joie aire (£99 in home bargains) and it fits everywhere! Even on buses, if you need a higher weight limit then the joie estrella goes up to 22kg and it’s the same width as the aire xx

could you send me a picture of it please 🙏x

I have one i took the other week 2 seconds xx

What about bugaboo? X

I’ve just brought a second new icandy peach 7 pram 😭😭🤣🤣🤣 cus the first icandy peach 7 was stolen

I’m just wanting a stroller if I’m honest something light weight x

thanks so much that’s ideal xx

you’re welcome! It folds down flat too, try looking in local home bargains before getting it online because they randomly stock them for nearly half the price😂

@Natalya sorry to jump on, can this be used from newborn?

I need to get rid of my icandy 7! 🤣🤣

This one looks good too, can be used from birth

I have the Ickle bubba Venus & honestly love it! (5 month old & nearly 2 year old).
Haven’t tried it on a bus but fits through most door ways
So easy to put up and down it just flicks open

sadly these don’t fit on buses they’re as wide as the bugaboo donkey I actually think it’s wider, I honestly have a personal vendetta against the ickle bubba one😂😭 it’s huge for no reason considering it’s only got a 15kg weight limit I only know because my friend had one and she hated it, and it was literally the size of my donkey… and my donkey fit no where😂

have you got a standard sized front door ? If so does it fit through that okay? x

ngl I have quite a narrow door to the point a single fits with a tiny bit of space😂 it fits through my mother in laws but doesn’t fit in my mums

I did think it might be a struggle on buses tbh (but I haven’t caught a bus in over 8 years)
It is surprising what it does fit through though I’ve thought so many times it wouldn’t fit but it does
But each to their own, I had a Ickle bubba travel system with my first and loved it and now love my Venus

I think buses are different sizes everywhere, ours are quite narrow to the point some wheelchairs barely fit on! I’ve heard of people getting bugaboo donkeys onto some buses which is mad to me as mine barely fit as a single!😂

circumcision

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

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

I think Motherhood has made me more bitter than I realized…

This is such a ramble but I don’t know where else to put it all.

I’m four months in and I don’t really have hobbies right now. I don’t do anything for myself except maybe doomscrolling or listening to a podcast while I breastfeed my baby. I used to craft and have game nights with friends. Activities that usually are at least 2 hour stretches. Now if I have an hour free my mind immediately goes to baby, or doing something in the house for baby.

And I thought I didn’t mind. Like I knew postpartum could be very mentally consuming. But I think it’s altering how I view people around me and it’s prodding at my relationship with my husband.

He spends most of his time making food for us, looking after our dogs, playing with the baby, ect. But he still has time for his hobby. Spends maybe an hour a night on it. Even adapted to using a bot for shopping for his hobby after a certain incident where we had to have a heart to heart after he left me home alone with the baby for hours during a busy workday (I work from home) to shop for his hobby.

And yet there’s like this little green eyed monster in me that rages every time I know he’s running off to start up the bot. Even though I’m the reason he does it this way.

We took a family trip last weekend to see his best friend and their kids and let them meet the baby. He brought the laptop. He’s always brought a laptop on trips and it’s never been a problem to me before. But one night we both woke up while the baby was still asleep, and he wandered out of the room. I tried to fall back asleep but couldn’t. So I went to the kitchen to try having something warm to drink to settle me. And he was there at the table running the bot from his laptop. I flipped out at him. But there really wasn’t reason to. It’s not like I needed help with the baby and he was ignoring me. He wasn’t avoiding our friends. He was just awake and unable to sleep and found something to do with his time. Yet my snap reaction was “why the hell would you do this on a family trip?”

I don’t know what it is. Maybe it’s the less complete sleep from baby’s middle of the night feed? My brain being just consumed by baby? Maybe I’m not as over that shopping incident as I thought? But I’m just so annoyed at his hobby right now. The green eyed monster thinks “you could be using that time differently” but realistically to do what exactly??? Stare at our baby in the dark???

I spent probably an hour apologizing to him after I snapped. And he’s of course hurt and frustrated because I said some very mean things in the moment.

I don’t want to be this jealous, angry person. But I also don’t know how to find time for myself in this right now outside of basic hygiene. It’s like I’ve forgotten how to be myself, even if just for an hour.

Maybe I need a therapist.
