Double pram for second baby

Lo will be about 2y9m when baby is due… I’ve bought two prams since having my first as I found my first too bulky so went for a lightweight stroller as we mainly travel around by car so reluctant to buy a third unless it’s completely necessary and I find double strollers are always huge, but would like to ask if anyone found they needed the double stroller once they had their second? Are there any other options? I’m wondering if the slings that can be attached under the pram would be sufficient enough or if they’re safe as an attachment… Tia

How to settle night wakings without feeding

My EBF baby responds very well to feeds overnight to fall straight back asleep after waking. I’m conscious this isn’t a long term solution and we need a way of settling him without feeding.

He won’t take a dummy, patting/ hand on chest/shushing etc in crib doesn’t settle him. If I get him out of his crib he’s still distressed and I have to walk around with him for a long time and often still end up needing to feed him to get him back to sleep.

It’s especially hard at night as i also need my sleep and it’s far easier and quicker to quick feed and back to sleep.

Any advice on how I can settle overnight without the feeds?

Hayden Panettiere😥

This is just super sad but I think it's important to talk about. Hayden passed yesterday & her daughter is 8 years old. Hayden struggled with substances (I believe before she had her daughter, no offense. I've been a big fan since I was 6 years old lol)

What makes me really sad is she didn't have a normal upbringing with her mom. She was forced to do commercials at 10 months old. I can only imagine how her mother tended to her. She was thrown into the screens of acting before being consistently put in gigs for commercials, & once she got a big one that was it for her mom. She forced her to act relentlessly. Whether they got the job or not.

3 months ago she wrote her autobiography & idk honestly if she's truly honest in it. Idk if she knew that how she was raised with such little endearment, love, time to be such a small human.. idk if she ever connected it. It honestly breaks my heart.

So I'm wondering, do you think she passed from addi***** or do you think it was a long time trickle effect of how she was raised? She gave her daughter up to the father early on due to her issues she battled with. I'm not here to state she's a monster, I am just so sad she wasn't whole when she passed. Truly.

I personally believe that we are a product of who raised us, & that is what ultimately lead to her d**** 😢😭 I bet she wasn't loved or consoled even for bumping her head as a toddler that we would even stop to hold ours for a moment, I bet her mom let her cry it out for hours at a time & I bet she hurt her/ disciplined/ scared her into making her an actress. It's so sad. But I think what hurts most is idk if she ever knew that/ wanted to cross that bridge either. & maybe that's why she chased another reality? It makes absolute sense why she didn't fight custody and gave it right away.. so sad.

When does catnapping stop?

My LO is 4 months old and for the last one month has been napping only for 30 minutes chunks during the day unless contact napping. When can I expect and hope for this to get better?

Postpartum Hair Loss

Anyone else experiencing postpartum hair loss around 3 months? I genuinely had no idea this was even a thing until it started happening to me! 😩 Any tips for helping with it? And does it actually all grow back? 🥲

Grunting, straining, red faced… HELP

my little one is just over 3 weeks and honestly I think he spends every night from 3am onwards grunting, straining, stretching his legs out and passing wind until about 6am. The only way he will sleep is if he is on my tummy down as this seems to give him comfort but it’s hard for me to not fall asleep when this happens! We have taken him to the doctors and they said he’s just a baby basically🤷‍♀️ he poos fine, passes wind throughout the night all night, burps after every feed I just cannot work out why he does it! Please can I have some advice or at least someone who is in the same boat 😭😭
