Travelling with 1 year old

I’ll be flying solo with my soon to be 1 year old in a few weeks and want to get a good cabin compliant travel stroller. Would love to hear from those of you who have one if you’d recommend it.
It needs to be 1 hand fold, not too heavy as I’ll be lifting myself into overhead locker on the flight and a full recline as well as upright sitting position as want it to last me a while as baby grows.
Not too much to ask for. Haha!

I don't have any stroller suggestions, but I just traveled solo with a 10 month old... Don't worry... You will have an army of fellow travelers falling all over themselves to help you. :) You won't be lifting anything by yourself. I had people help me take my coat off in the security line, lift every single bag, play peekaboo on the plane, pick up almost every dropped toy... Seatmates didn't mind her pulling on their sleeves... It was pretty great.

I would suggest having a ring sling as backup. I used that so much.

The joie nutmeg compact travel stroller is great!

But what I did solo traveling was gate checking my travel stroller. Navigating how to get a stroller up top and getting it down while holding your toddler is… not great. Also assuming those around you will help isn’t always great either (people probably will tho)

If you gate check the stroller will by there once you exit the plane and you just prop it up, strap in, and go. In my opinion it’s better having two hands to handle your baby than one. Even if it’s a short distance.

Baby poops

I’m going alittle crazy! My ebf 11 week old for the past 3 weeks will only poop every 6 days. Brought it up to the pediatrician and I’ve done everything they told us to do. Bicycle kicks, tummy rubs, rectal temp check, warm baths and even a suppository. He is very low on the percentile like 9% so I feel like he isn’t holding on to the milk and about day 4 he is so uncomfortable. We took him to the ER Saturday and they did a xray and just told us he had gas. Went to a follow-up peds appointment and they started him on liquid Pepcid due to possible silent reflux. He burps & farts during/ after feeds. We give mylicon or gripe water for the gas discomfort which helps sometimes. I have a feeling this isn’t normal especially when he used to poop everyday.

Sex..

I’m really not interested at all 8 weeks post partum and my husband has been asking. I had a traumatic birth with forceps, an episiotomy and a small tear in vagina. We didn’t really have sex during pregnancy and that was fine as we were both a little weirded out by it!

I just wanted to check if others have felt the same!

Placenta Encapsulation

Curious what everyone is planning to do with their placenta after birth. Has anyone tried encapsulation, or is anyone considering it?

I’ve been looking into the process and would love to hear real experiences, good or bad. Is it worth it?
