Anyone here has done Prague or London during Christmas with an 8mo old. We would like to and would love to know head gear to go for that can enable stroller and/or carrier with the baby. Tell me we can do it and tips on how..

Babies are much easier to travel with than toddlers. Definitely consider getting a lightweight travel stroller such as a GB Pockit, Babyzen Yoyo, or a Nuna TRVL.

Adjusting head gear for a stroller not suited for baby just isn’t ideal. Safety first, Ive done the car seat, clipped into a lightweight stroller frame. (Something like a Snap N Go that suits whatever brand you use) Get a carrier bag for the car seat (check airline if it’s carrier or checked) and the stroller/carrier will just get checked at the gate. That made travel so easy when my LO was small.

I would take the car seat on the plane to have a place to put Baby when you need a break from holding them.

We did Rome and Florence with a 7 month old in December (think it was the two weeks just before Christmas) pre-pandemic. It was awesome. Old enough to have little one on a regular sleep schedule, not old enough that she was truly mobile.

It’s been a few years so the best options have probably changed for gear. Get a travel stroller if you don’t have one already. It’s easier. We used a Graco jet setter. It was small enough to carry on which was nice in the airport. Little one was still in the infant car seat (also Graco) so that doubled as a carrier and plugged into the stroller. Get travel bags if you can’t carry on. We also used a baby bjorn style carrier for some of the trip where stroller was either challenging or we thought little one would be more interested in the scenery.

We did not bring car seat on the plane (checked it in a travel bag) because we cashed in points and flew business class. I had little one sleep in the seat with me. If that’s not in the cards, look into whether you can get the bassinet bulkhead seats.

Low key one of the best parts was the lack of babies in Italy. We definitely felt like a novelty and the locals (and some of the tourists) treated us as such. Not sure that is true in UK or Prague.

Finally, and some people are weirded out by this, but we got a hotel babysitter one night in each city. Having parent alone time to do a fancy dinner was awesome. To me it wasn’t much different than daycare or finding a babysitter in the states - we did our research, got references, etc.

We did Christmas travel with our little one and what really helped was focusing on layers instead of bulky snow suits. Thin merino base layers + a stroller footmuff kept baby warm outside but easy to adjust inside museums/markets. A compact carrier with a fleece cover was a lifesaver on cobblestones where the stroller wasn’t practical. Also, stroller hooks for bags = game changer when juggling gear. Keeps it simple so you can actually enjoy the lights and markets without constant bundling/unbundling battles.

Doona and then a travel stroller. We liked silver cross. Bring a good baby carrier too. Once baby gets older, if you can put some diapers and wipes in it you can ditch the diaper bag.

I'll ultimately need to support him financially for at least a year while he recovers. Not complaining, but has me considering just dropping out of the interview process. Is that crazy? Is the opportunity with BCG really so far beyond what I have already with S&? Is dropping a better look than interviewing and doing terribly?

Hi folks, need your help! Just found out that we’re pregnant (we were not actively trying so kinda surprised 🙈). What brand prenatal vitamins would you recommend? I’m seeing mixed suggestions on Folic vs. Folate - which one is important?

Please guide me and let me know if there is anything else I need to do at this moment. I’ve contacted my OB as well. I’m so worried. Thanks!

Trying to set family expectations and would love thoughts on 2 things. 1. How long after baby will I be ready for visitors beyond our parents? I’m thinking a few weeks. 2. Our 3 grandmothers are 1-3 hour flights away (3 diff places) and cannot travel. When will we be ready to take baby to see them? I’m thinking 4-6 months but that would also be flu/RSV season. Can’t predict the future but family is already talking about trips and I want to set expectations and do what is best for baby. TIA!!

Do you think using “him/her” for “he/she” (ex: “her is playing” “him not here yet”) is something that kids usually grow out of? Or does it need direct intervention? I have 2 students who exhibit this error, who otherwise should be dismissed. Normally I’d just keep them on and work on it alongside other goals, but they don’t have any other goals, and with COVID, and my upcoming maternity leave in March, a more compact caseload would be advantageous.

How do you handle people’s kids showing up on video meetings? Screaming, kicking, hamming it up, (wasting time.) Everyone else is coo-ing…I’m not a kids person. Heard a technique which is to drop off the call bc you “assume the call is over” (which seems like a great way to get fired especially if it’s a way higher up’s kids - plus it feels rather passive aggressive.) Thoughts?
