Silly question but will still ask!

Hi moms, my baby is 2 months old and I’m wondering what everyone uses for walks , the pram carrycot/bassinet or the car seat attachment? Which do your babies seem more comfortable in ?

The bassinet. Baby shouldn’t be in the car seat for more than 2 hours at a time. They need to be laying flat when going for walks and sleeping x

Bassinet, the carseat as someone previously mentioned is 2 hours max. If you choose to use the car seat, for example you need to drive to pick up shopping, there needs to be atleast 30 minutes of a break once its reached that 2 hour mark. So for example you drive for 2 hours to go shopping, have the baby in a carrier for 30 mins while shopping, then youll be ready for the 2 hour journey home.

I used a sling or car seat on pram as didn't purchase the whole set/travel system. Found a sling/carrier much easier than manoeuvring a pram

Pulled over

Beating myself up because I got pulled over today with my baby in the car. Thinking I’m a terrible mother. Wasn’t speeding. Made “an illegal pass” 4 cars infront of me did the same thing… but I was the last car… so I got pulled over. Cop let me go with a warning because they know people do it all the time… but stressed how dangerous it was and how I could get into an accident. Cop is completely right and I’m thankful they let me off with a warning but can’t help but think I’m an awful mother who put her baby at risk.

Age for sleep training

At what age did you sleep train? Specifically Ferber method. Is 9 months (still has quite a lot of milk during night) too young??

Dummy help!!

My LO has the tommee tippee closer to nature dummies as that’s they’re the only ones she likes but she has little chubby cheeks bless her and they always mark her cheeks …we’ve tried the silicone ones and she’s not a fan of the texture 🫣just wondering if anyone has any recommendations for dummies ?

Early risers

My 8 month old keeps waking up at 5.20am thinking this is a good time to start the day 😴 she goes to bed at 6.45pm and we did have about a week of her sleeping through until that time but recently she’s waking up at 1.30, 3.30 and then wide awake at 5.20. I ebf but I don’t feed her through the night, able to put the dummy in and rub her back. I can’t let her cry too much at 5.20 as she’s next door to my toddler and I don’t want to wake him up 🙈She naps in the morning 9.30-11ish and then 2.45-3.30ish. Is it just a phase?! 😴😴

Walking???

Is anyone else’s 15mo old not walking yet?? We are being sent to early interventions and I’m absolutely anxious about it. He will walk holding onto us or chairs or anything and he’ll pull himself up while holding onto things but won’t standup freely either. He bear crawls and he’s soooo fast at it. Just need some reassurance that I’m not the only mom out there whose little one isn’t walking yet. He has hit all other milestones, just not walking yet.
