Double or single pushchair

I’m pregnant with my second, baby is due July 2026, my toddler will be coming up 3.

Does anyone recommend a double or single pushchair

I have 2 dogs so use the pushchair often at the moment.

I am considering the out n about v6 with the handlebars on the front for my toddler to sit in when the baby is in the pushchair and toddler can go in the pushchair when I baby wear

I’ve also looked at the bugaboo donkey 5. My toddler is in nursery 4 afternoons a week so I don’t want to always be stuck with a double pushchair.

Help please!! 🙏🏼

I had an ickle bubba venus prime which was great if you want a double (my boys were 2 years apart exactly). Have recently bought a Hoppie that attaches to our pushchair though which I would 10/10 recommend, my two are now 3&1 and I don’t think my eldest would sit in a pram but he loves the Hoppie coz it’s like his own little hammock seat x

I’m so stuck! At the moment my boy still goes in his pushchair, but I’m not sure if he will when he’s nearly 3 but i don’t know if I can be fully without one for him, with the long walks etc! I’ve seen the hoppies they look really good! X

We love our out n about double (v4, second hand purchase) and were always going to get a double but we had an 18 month age gap and toddler only started walking at 15 months. More recently toddler is not using the pushchair and we use the seat for the change bag! It really does depend how far you are walking though and if toddler still naps in the pushchair. One thing I didnt consider was baby going straight from bassinet to forward facing and I think for a while she didnt like the pushchair because she couldn't see me. Fairly sure the donkey would give you mum and world facing options once out of bassinet..I would recommend looking second hand if you go for a double as they are often not used for very long periods.

the new out n about v6 switch allows for parent facing too after the bassinet too which is definitely a bonus! I currently have the v4 I think but think I’m going to upgrade to the v6 switch with the toddler attachment for him to sit on when he gets tired x

I have the bugaboo donkey 5, a 2m and a 2y3m old and two dogs. I mostly love it as my oldest can see the baby, taps her to help her sleep and I think it's helped with their bond. However it's heavy, takes up the whole of the boot in the car and I often have to go on the road or cross to the other side if people have parked on the pavement. It also doesn't fit around all shops easily and I can't get it in nursery, so now have to drop my toddler off at the door

Wdy think of this for a toddler to learn word construction?

I'm open to anything else to start teaching him to read and write. He's 3!

Do men really enjoy fellatio?

Been together more than 10 years, but it's been a while since he even seemed remotely interested in me getting on my knees, or vice versa so to speak. I think it was once last year. Must be something I am doing wrong 🤔. Generally everything else in that department is great and we have two young kids with no extra support, so it's quite surprising we can't keep our hands off each other but may need to try new things. It's basically 2 positions each time with some foreplay.

Naps

How is everyone doing for naps?

Little one is 9 months old and will have 2 half hour naps and one solid 1 hour - 2 hour nap a day

Then settles for night around 9pm. Wakes for a feed around 3:30 then sleeps until 6-7

Vanilla extract

Has anyone used alcohol free vanilla in their babies formal to help them drink?
I’m 100% sure my baby refuses her bottles as she doesn’t like the taste of it!

Just anxious to try it, don’t want her to get used to it and then refuse bottles again after two weeks of using (correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve read you use it for 2 weeks max)

TIA 🙂

Pumping advise

FTM to a 2 week old! I’m breastfeeding and then giving one formula bottle last in the evening before bed. I want to start expressing milk to give me some breathing room and also allow my partner to be more involved in feeding. I’m finding the idea of introducing pumping into my day quite overwhelming though. I don’t want to take milk away from my baby by pumping if he needs it during the day when being breastfeed.

Can anyone advise how I start pumping and when to do it? Thank you!

Sex post C section

Hi ladies I’m 4 weeks 5 days postpartum and I had a C section. I’m not bleeding properly anymore just some brownish discharge stuff that starts on and off. I’d like to do the deed with my partner; is it okay to do so or shall I wait the full 6 weeks. I feel up for it but also worried because the advice is 6-8 weeks.
