Double stroller

Is getting a double stroller really worth it for a 2y5m age gap? We rarely use our normal stroller as is, I think we used it last for a zoo trip in September. I’d love a double stroller in concept but I just don’t know how much sense it makes with a toddler who already wants to walk now at 22 months

I have a two year age gap, bought a double stroller for a couple hundred dollars, used it less than a handful of times, and sold it on marketplace for $80. It was a waste for us

My youngest will be 2 and a half when 3rd baby is born in January and we haven't bought a double pram. She prefers walking a lot now anyway and if I put her in pram I will baby wear baby.
We have bought a buggy board though for when she gets tired legs

Get a buggy board that's what I have for my 1 year old and 4 year old when we go on long walks

I think it depends on your toddler - we had an 18 month age gap so definitely needed one, and now with our eldest being almost 3 we still use the double multiple times a week.

I’d get a wagon, put the car seat in it and then toddler can go in and out if needed. I also have a 2.5 yo and wer rarely use our stroller anymore but I borrowed my dad’s wagon for some zoo/park/pool trips this summer and decided I needed one cuz it was soooooo convenient! We used it for trick or treating too!

I have a 20 month gap and we use it all the time! Life saver

I was thinking of getting a wagon instead of a double stroller. I will have a 3-year age gap give or take a month or two depending on when the baby comes but my oldest wants to be carried or walk right now. I think he might get jealous if we have a stroller just for the baby. Plus he’s heavy 😅. I’m going to wait until the baby is 6 months old before buying one.

I think a wagons best, more about the things you need to carry around with a toddler and newborn then the kiddos themselves, grocery shopping, beach trips etc… we also live in Florida so not having my stroller with a toddler even now is not an option, the heat is draining

If you’re worried about price vs how much you’ll actually use it I would suggest looking on market place or at second hand shops! Much cheaper for the same item so then if you don’t use it much there wasn’t much money wasted!

I got a double that also turns into a single as I will be having the same age gap! My son is going through a stage of running away so I wanted it to so I could put him somewhere safe, as well as for long days such as zoo trips!

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too

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. 🥺

6 month old autistism

My 6 month old makes no eye contact with me and doesn’t respond when I call him. Can this just be a phase or personality trait as apposed to autism

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

5.30am wakeups 😫😴

My 15 week old has started waking up about 5.30am and is really hard to settle back down - it’s like he thinks it’s time to wake up for the day. He used to go to bed at 9pm and was up at 8am but now he goes to bed between 7.30-8pm as he’s knackered by then but waking up at 5.30am😴. Any advice to get him to sleep a little longer in the morning?! Even an extra hour would be lovely 🤣
