Flying with pram

Has anyone flew abroad and taken their pram with them? Did it get ruined or broken? We bought a travel stroller but my little boy absolutely hates it for some reason and I’m debating taking my actual pram but I’ve heard so many horror stories that people’s prams have been destroyed or badly damaged etc. I’m not sure what to do

Hi, I have traveled with the pram and it survived and hasn't been damaged. You get to keep it until you're boarding the plane (if you insist), then just before you board, they ask you to fold it and leave it in allocated spot for so a crew member can collect . Depending where you're traveling to, most airports, when you land, let you have the pram as soon as you get of the plane( you need to ask the crew to make sure they get your pram for You) however when you fly back to UK , Heathrow doesn't allow you to have your pram as soon as you get off. So prepare yourself as you will have to go through border control first, collect your luggage and then the prams are on the very last carousel , so if your little one can't walk , you'll have quite a bit of carring to do before reaching your pram. There are risks and I was worried that they might loose or damage some parts as my pram needed to be taken apart and was in two pieces . You better off taking the quick fold one .

thank you for the advice. I’ve travelled with him before with just a baby carrier and it was tough I can’t lie as he isn’t the lightest 😂 I might look at getting a slightly better travel pram for him, maybe he’ll enjoy it more xx

Help! First time mum -

I have a 4 month old and now all of a sudden when he’s been asleep for 1hr30/2hrs he will wake up screaming (high pitched) I’ve tried winding him sometimes that helps, I’ve tried bicycle legs & bringing his knees up but that doesn’t seem to help but he brings his knees up himself sometimes but nothing happens. I’ve noticed since the 4 month mark he has started to struggle passing wind downwards! Any tips?

Breastfeeding

Does it ever feel better? The actual feeding part of it is going really well and baby boy is growing so well. I’m struggling with how my boobs feel day to day - it’s really getting me down most days. The let downs make me feel awful and sounds silly but, I am also really missing not wearing a bra! 9 weeks postpartum and still getting fairly engorged, even with comfort pumping.

Any advice or just shared stories would help. I’m so torn between carrying on because I enjoy the feeding side of it or switching to formula.

Big nursing bras!

I’m looking for recommendations for good nursing bras for bigger breasted ladies!

I’m currently in a 38H which seems to be the biggest size done at M&S (UK based mama here) and it’s snug and not as supportive as I’d like. When I look online, they mainly seem to be sized S, M, L, XL etc rather than bra sizes.

Any recommendations please?

Bath Time

Help! My baby is 3 and a half weeks old. Every bath she goes in quite happy but will only stay like this for a very few mins, if I try to clean her or move her we have tears and after a few mins the same. It's like she is scared. Our current baby bath is quite big should I try a different one? Looking for any suggestions as want her to enjoy bath time not be upset and I'm scared I'm going to make her hate it😢💗

Strange question

Hello. I would identify myself as asexual but yes i am married and i have a child. But now that ive had my baby. I think its solidified that im done having sex. I feel bad as my partner keeps asking me but i just dont want to. Any advice on what i can do? Any other asexual moms out there? I guess this could be confusing but im not huge on being bound by a label. I have just always felt it represented me best since highschool.
