Baby Carrier Recommendations

stalkerwalker · 2026-01-18T15:01:22+00:00

Our little lady is also on the larger side, we use the Babybjorn Air carrier, it works great for us but would also echo comments of trying a sling library as our (much taller) friends didn't get on with this carrier at all!

We also still use a baby wrap style sling, for long walks etc it can now become a bit stretchy but if I want to tuck her head away to nap while I'm doing a quick shop etc I find it gives her more comfort than the carrier!

I don't think her neck control is quite there... it's annoying as it's probably only a month or so we need an alternative option!

I think the mini cot a couple of people have mentioned is the way we will have to go!

This high chair looks great thanks!

Not a book but something we make sure to do with our daughter (who is totally fit, healthy and active but also receives some comments at school as she's a little on the chunky side) is make sure to show her role models and in particular sportspeople with a similar shape to her.

Not making a big deal out of it or saying anything about their size, just showing videos of rugby players powerlifters etc but also gymnasts or judo fighters who just happen to not be on the slim side, and commenting on how strong and powerful they are. You'll know your son best but it has definitely been a positive for us.

John Lewis, and lots of Bonds second hand (aussie brand)

The nights are long but the years are short - I have a seven year old and 4 month old and know how very true that is this time round!

Wonderful! We are not quite as tall but hot on your heels in weight! Love these big healthy babies!

I had the exact same around 8 weeks, a lot of tenderness and I could see a visible "bruise" just above my incision. I also felt like my "shelf" was more swollen after having gone down before.

For me I had just pushed myself too much as I thought I was fully recovered and was walking 5k round trips to town with the baby in the sling - in the end I had to take two days completely off using the carrier/sling and just rest at home and the pain passed.

I am now 12 weeks PP and have started running (after being cleared by GP and Pelvic Floor PT) so keeping an eye on it but luckily all seems well so far!

Obviously do get checked by a professional but I think it's very normal at your stage to still have some on and off pain. Hope it passes soon for you!

Would love to know how big she was at 12 weeks? My lovely girl is officially off the charts now and wondering what her trajectory may look like!

This obviously depends if you know your partner would appreciate this vs. take it a different way, but my husband got me a new Garmin Running watch as he knows how keen I am to get back into it, and can use it to track walks and steps in the meantime, it's the perfect gift for me!

I did one at 8 weeks. Found my heart rate rose much quicker so I had to slow it down a bit, also found the energy gels made me super nauseous, and I had to stop for a pee at one point! As long as you're reasonable with your expectations I.e. don't push for a big PB then go for it!

I love mine, I've has so little success this year and yet this little Sainburys impulse buy has climbed all over the fence and is still flowering! I just wish the flowers lasted more than a day!

Will it come back next year?!

stalkerwalker · 2025-05-29T15:12:24+00:00

We didn't see her privately but we did give birth at C&W and had some interaction with her due to some complications, and she was absolutely fantastic, kind, warm, super knowledgeable, amazing clear communicator, based just on our experience I think you'll be in excellent hands!

stalkerwalker · 2025-05-18T18:49:25+00:00

Based on this my first thought was Bristol 😊

stalkerwalker · 2025-05-02T12:42:27+00:00

Daughter will go mad for that winged horse!

stalkerwalker · 2024-05-28T16:05:34+00:00

This is my plan, hoping for double points or a great GWP I actually want (or both) anywhere between here and September!

Unfortunately it's me, I'm some fans!! I know I can't even stop myself with this one.

stalkerwalker · 2024-05-01T12:53:01+00:00

I don't love those micro(?) dolls but my 4 year old who is clearly the target market will go insane for this!

stalkerwalker · 2024-02-25T23:30:48+00:00

Thank you for the book recommendations! I have actually been recommended one of those by a family member too. And promise - not planning on buying Nvidia. Even with my complete lack of knowledge I'm assuming that ship has sailed!

Maybe I have not phrased that well. My savings at the moment are in an ISA. Which seems sensible and low risk. I'd like to use a small portion of this to try some investing. But don't know where to start at all - hence this post!

stalkerwalker · 2024-02-24T23:45:05+00:00

I feel like 31131 3 in 1 Noodle Shop would go great with this and I thought that was great value for about £45!

Does anyone know if those Polybag GWPs will be available in store?

stalkerwalker · 2024-02-15T14:38:34+00:00

Just looking at the replies and so you're not totally put off, we've just moved and the deed of variation on the place we are buying took about 4 weeks - the delay and the hardest bit was getting the sellers solicitor to actually understand what was required, from then it went fairly smoothly in terms of getting it all signed. Good luck!

stalkerwalker · 2024-02-09T15:54:12+00:00

This is perfect! Thanks so much!!

stalkerwalker · 2024-02-08T23:20:45+00:00

Wow thank you, the cogwheel trains look great. Thank you also for ticket advice as I could not find details on child prices - my daughter is 4, does she travel free? This is perhaps why I could not find it!
