Help!! Which pram should I get!?

I’ve done a lot of browsing online for travel systems and have also been to a few shops but I’m still so undecided on which one to get. Can anybody share any tips / advice on which to go for? My three main things are easy to fold down and fit into car boot, all terrain wheels and light weight.

Baby bath soap

My little girl is 3 weeks old now and starting to smell a bit like sweat lol. I know the NHS don't recommend using soaps till week 4 but I was wondering if anyone else had used soaps at week 3? We've got child's farm soaps so if you've used them I'd live to hear what you think of them too

Bringing baby home (don’t own a car)

My most recent dilemma has been around how we will be bringing baby home from the hospital. We live in zone 2 in London, don’t own a car, don’t have a UK driver’s license or have friends/family that own a car!

Anyone struggling to understand sunscreen rules

Apparently not all sunscreens are safe. But trying to Google which actual brands are safe is impossible. All results are usa brands or are ridiculous price for a tiny bottle. Then other threads say it’s OTT to worry and just use anything Anyone know?

Infant Tylenol

Hi mommy’s I’m somewhat preparing for when my LO gets her 2 months shots so I wanted to know, which Tylenol did you get because I can’t happen to find one that’s flavor free. So it’s between grape or cherry, which did you get? And if there’s a flavor free one where did you get it?
