Traveling with a 4 month old baby girl..?

I <3 Izzy.

okay so i have a question mom's.. i would like to buy my daugheter a small suit case.. just for her..

we are going on vacation for 4 days.. Which stores would i be able to find one? my nephew had one with disney characters but it seems like i can't find a single one..

and another question how much clothes would you pack??

Answer
Target has backpacks with characters, but not really suitcases. YOu might have to try Amazon. Or as your nephew's mom where she got it!

Baby clothes are small - take more rather than less. I think I brought 2 outfits per day for my dd at that age, plus some layering clothes - ie long sleeves and/or a sweatshirt, pants - even with warm days it can be cool at night. Also bring an extra sleep outfit. Even if you have access to laundry you don't want to be bothering your host about it too often.

Should I get a sling style baby carrier, or a baby backpack carrier? My little one on almost 1 year old.?

Answer
There are many ways to carry your baby safely. Choosing between a sling style carrier or a backpack carrier will depend on your lifestyle and activities you have planned when you go out with your baby. Some parents find the comfort and the bonding of a sling style carrier the best way to go when traveling. There are advantages to the sling style carrier, which includes a closer bonding experience and a much lighter device to carry. Backpacks come in handy when the family is off on a hiking excursion but will add more weight as it incorporates a frame to the carrier. Backpacks sometimes, depending on the one wearing it, will give more support with the adjustment of the carrier.

Also you must consider the age of your baby. Newly born babies should be close to the parentâs body and this is where a sling is mandatory over a backpack. Adjustments to a sling style carrier can sometimes take more time to adjust if two parents are sharing the same sling style carrier. Even though the sling style carriers that incorporate a ring device is easier to adjust, slippage is less likely to happen when using a carrier that does not use the ring device.

There are hundreds of choices for baby carriers and slings, so the choice can feel overwhelming. It is not as hard as it looks. There are only a handful of popular baby carrier styles and from there it is a simple matter of choosing the fabric you like best. Check out www.thebabycarriers.com

At which age did you start to carry baby on your back?

LGM

My little daughter is three months, two weeks old. She can hold up her head pretty well, but can't sit yet, of course. I have an ergo-baby carrier and a sling. However, both seemed to be laid out to carry a baby her age in front, rather than on the back. At which age would it be safe for baby to be carried on my back?

Answer
I used a sling with my son, using different positions at different ages, according to what was comfortable at the time. I eventually bought a different backpack carrier when he really seemed to outgrow the sling. In our case, he was about a year old when I finally started using the backpack regularly. He was small for his age though, so that made front carrying possible for longer than most!

It depends on your carrier, but some front carriers and most back carriers recommend the baby be around 6 months old for the sake of spinal development. Slings tend to be better for young babies because they hold the babies in more natural positions. Young babies prefer to be curled up with their entire body supported, rather than stretched out or in a position with their legs dangling. Back carriers are generally better for older babies who are stable sitting on their own.

do i need a double stroller?

keke j.

im pregant with my second and due october 26th. my 1st daughter will be 2 by time i have the baby. when i go to the mall and stuff now she gets in her little umbrella stroller. so should i invest in a double stroller for both of them. im just wondering about if i get a single and i go to the mall without my husband will i have to chase a 2yr old down while pushing a stroller

Answer
I have a 5 year old, 2 year old (he'll be 3 in June) and 5 month old, so they're each 2 1/2 years apart. This is what I found out the hard way. Double-strollers are NOT worth it. They're lunky, huge, heavy, bulky, impossible to maneuver, terrible in stores, and definitely NOT worth it.

When my 2 year old was born we decided to try the Ergo carrier for a while, with the idea that we'd get a double-stroller when he was 6 months old (since there's nearly no doubles that will lay flat and a newborn needs to lay flat, your choice is basically limited until about 4-6 months when they can sit up.) This was so convenient though that I just used the Ergo to carry him until my daughter was old enough to usually walk on her own. When she couldn't, the Ergo will carry up to 40lbs and in a backpack position, so one could be put on my back and I could still push the other in the stroller. This worked well.

Then I got pregnant with the third and I decided I HAD to have a double-stroller because I couldn't keep carrying a 35lb child on my back. I got a good one, Baby Trend since I loved our Baby Trend single stroller. What I found out is that the stroller itself is 40 something pounds. Then your kids have to be about the same weight for a side-by-side (which luckily my kids are, my daughter's very small and my son is about average for a boy, so it worked.) With both of them in the stroller, and the stroller itself, the whole thing weighs 100+lbs!!!!! The Chicco Cortina Together (which would lay flat) weighs 34lbs... the Britax B-Agile Double weighs 28lbs without adapters, but the lighter things weigh the more expensive they tend to be. The Britax B-Ready has two seats you can attach, but together it brings it up to 32lbs. And then you have to think... is your daughter really going to be riding all the time?

My recommendation would be to buy a carrier and just wear the new baby for the first year, at which point you can get a cheaper double-stroller, maybe a double-umbrella or a connector for two umbrella strollers, or a little seat behind the stroller for her to sit on, and use that. (Though even with the sit-and-stands I've never known anyone to use them past a year.)
