Hi mamas, my baby is 12 weeks and hates going on a walk in the pram with the bassinet insert. She’ll sit in there for like 10 minutes before crying and making a big fuss and then I have to hold her all the way home in one hand and pushing the pram in the other which is not very ideal when I’m not near home😅 I’ve tried baby carrying but I really just want her to stay in the pram. Any tips please? Is it just a matter of time thing?

How good is her head control? I swapped to the sit up pram at 3onths with both of mine for the same reasons, and just kept it only one click up from lying down, but they can see loads more and seemed much happier!

We had the same problem. I would end up with a baby in one arm and pram with heavy shopping in another. Pushing it up the hill sweating and swearing during this uk heatwave!
I switched to stroller where she was strapped in (Flat back option) and she never cried again. We are enjoying our walks now.. I think strapping her in makes her feel secure etc.
we did it just before she turned 4 months..

We moved our lg at 6 weeks for this reason, she was so much more content. We had a lie flat newborn suitable seat x

Try baby carrier ☺️

I’ve walked my twins in their car seat it was clipping to the pram and they felt so cosy in it, I know some people don’t want to get them use to it but they’re a year old now and are completely fine, have a seat up pram and nap in their beds

Mine always hated it, I used a wrap and then a carrier. About 10 weeks old she outgrew the bassinet - it was winter so that didnt help, so we put her in a normal pram seat and elevated it up a bit but she was still mostly lying in it. She also started to face the world then instead of me. She loved it.

My son hated lying down, he liked to look around and watch the world go by 😂 so i used the car seat attachment or a baby carrier and he was fine, switched him to the normal pram seat when he got to big for the car seat
Thank you so much for the recommendations ladies! Everytime I go out and see babies in the bassinet , I’m like how 😅😭 really reassuring to hear several of you have been on the same boat 🙏
Hey all, so I’ve not worked in 7 years due to multiple reasons, I left my previous job because I was fleeing DV, then lockdown happened, then I met my husband and had my twins, I feel into a deep depression, was diagnosed with ptsd, adhd, I struggle to get out, struggle with daily life but keep going for my husband and kids but recently ive been feeling I really want to get back into work, im trained as a senior career, working with dementia and end of life, I don’t know where to start anymore, I’ve lost all confidence and it’s been so long that will I get it will I pick up where I left off, who’s going to hire someone who has no confidence, I used to be able to speak to anyone and everyone, now if anyone speaks to me a stutter and panic then don’t know what to say to the simplest of things
Don’t know what I’m looking for, has anyone else had this and overcome it?
Xx

Inspired by a post earlier this week. I am so excited for my little man to crawl all over his new playpen while I cook breakfast without constantly worrying about my big dogs running around next him. I am sleep deprived/ depressed/ and really struggling mentally so if theres something i can use to help my sanity I am all for it. Mornings have been extra hard but I am looking forward to using this tomorrow 😊 highly recommend!! If you feel the need to judge, just move on 😀

Heyyy, my little man will only sleep tonight if he is being held, currently 3am and me and partner have just swapped duties as his personal bed for the night 😂 anyone else in the same situation?

I know they want us to brush our babies teeth once they start coming in. I head that having milk before sleep can increase risk of cavities in babies. I brush daily but then I give a bottle before bedtime which I feel like is kinda pointless to brush if I'm gonna give the bottle anyway. So I thought maybe I can transition her to have her night time bottle and then bath and brush teeth. But I don't know if she's too young for that. What are your thoughts. She sleeps through the night the night time feeds are not involved in this.

I see so many women on social media claiming to be having sex as soon as the 6 week check is done, and I'm wondering if this is the norm? My libidos has been through the floor for months. 😴
