Travel Pushchair - first time flying

We are off on holiday tomorrow (flying TUI) and since purchasing our travel pushchair (which was cabin approved size) now seems just outside their size guidance and likely will be gate checked.

Questions;
Do you get the pushchair back at the gate when you land or have to wait until you get to the luggage carousel?

Anyone’s experience with TUI and how strict they are on size?

We also haven’t got a cover/bag for it should it be checked.. rookie error for this first time mum 😫

Mine was taken into the hold. We received it with our luggage but I made sure I had a baby carrier on me to make it easier. I also have a sling one for when my little one gets bigger x

So I don't know about TUI specifically I'm afraid, but at Heathrow they have RTAD - return to aircraft door - tags for items that don't fit in the overhead lockers but are needed ASAP after disembarking, such as wheelchairs and buggies. Customers leave them by the door as they board, the ground staff tag them and load them into the hold and then pass on a message to the ground crew at the destination (always worth asking the crew to mention to the ground staff at your destination though as it's not always the smoothest of procedures). Best to try your luck with the pushchair first, but if you're not able to then ask for it to be tagged and returned to you for disembarkation, NOT at the luggage belt xx

Again, not sure about TUI but we have flown quite a lot and it’s totally depended on the airport. We have landed at two whether we’ve got the push chair back at the plane door or at luggage collection. It’s mainly Bean luggage collection. I always take a carrier just in case!

Postpartum Anxiety

I’m struggling. My baby girl (almost 7 months) is sleeping next to me in the bassinet. She sleeps through the night, might wake up once but pacifier does the trick. I’m not sleeping well, I wake up panicking to check on her, resting heart has been elevated for a month so I’m definitely not getting good sleep. She makes a lot of noise and moves a lot so that wakes me as I’m a light sleeper, but she’s literally sleeping.
Anxiety meds are available to me if needed, but any advice on how I can tackle this naturally?
I stopped drinking alcohol & cut out all caffeine only bc I felt it was not helping my case. I started Ashwagandga & magnesium glycinate but it’s not really helping.

Night feeds/settling back to sleep

At night it’s taking 1hr+ to BF baby, change nappy and get him successfully transferred back into his next to me asleep… he’s then waking up an hour later for milk again. This has been happening for the last 4 weeks and I’m exhausted 😟 anyone any tips?
