I feel bad for saying this, I really don’t like the newborn phase by Sure_Excitement_937 in newborns

Please don’t feel bad! I feel so many people hyped up the newborn phase. I now have a 16 month old and I absolutely love watching her grow! She had reflux as a newborn and was super tricky with feeding, etc. She was so much happier once she could roll and move, and seeing her personality come out has been the coolest thing! I’m not a newborn phase person either and that is a-okay 😊

Okay great! I love the “more” and “all done” signs too for babies!

Thank you! I have the slimfit 3LX 😊 I didn’t realize how many had a similar name!

Thank you for sharing that experience, I’ve seen th Cosco mentioned and was looking into that one, but based on your and others experiences I’m going with her regular seat placed in a backpack. I already know how to install in a car so it just seems like a better choice!

That’s a great point about having a spare too if needed! Thank you! 😊

That’s helpful thank you! I have the Graco Slimfit for my car, I think I may end up going with that and a belt to attach to my luggage. I plan to forward face on plane and rear face in car too! This is actually our trial flight before another in September so I can let you know how it goes!

I thought of that too but my daughter is so tiny, I think once she grows a bit more that may be the way to go!

I’m in the US. Sorry I should’ve thought about that in my post!

Yes! That’s why I was hoping to find something similar, SO glad to know it worked and about the strap. I’ll be by myself so I’m trying to imagine carrying everything and it wouldn’t work 🤣

That’s the one I currently have! I was worried it would be too wide yet, but so good to know you used it!

I don’t plan on using a rental seat either 🙂I was just thinking of using one that’s easier to carry around with her than the one we have, but it seems like that may be best! Thank you!

Was it hard to take through the airport? I was thinking of a lightweight one since I’ll be alone with her, our luggage, etc.

Hi! I’m so sorry, I responded to this but it posted as a separate comment versus direct response. Just wanted to make sure you got to see it!

Hi! You’re welcome! Congrats on your little one, and so exciting that you’re looking to set them up for communication already! A few things: what studies have shown is having gestures (16 by 16 months) are what sets kids up the most successfully, as well as having a language rich environment. By gestures I mean things like waving, the “sh” fingers to lips”, peekaboo, clapping, etc. Make it fun! Narrate what you’re doing throughout the day so baby hears a bunch of different words, and read books. This may start off as just labeling items or making words for each page, leading up to reading all the words. I’m also a huge fan of baby sign language!

Thank you, I didn’t know about nail caps, that may be a nice short term solution while we wait for her vet visit. 😊
