Hi! I'm on my way to having a 23mo and a newborn. I'm going crazy considering options for strollers and I need your ideas and experience, please.

I live in Hanoi, travel mostly on foot and in taxis. I imagine my older will still be too little to be without a stroller for whenever we need to go anywhere somewhat far. We have Chicco Corso LE with Keyfit35 carseat, so I was thinking about getting City Jogger Select Lux to use with that carseat. But I also am not sure it would fit into the taxi trunk.

I also see that people get two compact strollers and join them side by side, so maybe getting 2 units of something more compact that's compatible with KeyFit (any model ideas?), could be the way.

We are in a nicer area, but Hanoi in general is not very stroller accessible, so I'm worried about that too. (though Corso was great at jumping curbs and stairs).

I don't want a bassinet, would rather have a stroller that goes 180 with a newborn inlay.

Any ideas appreciated.

Edit: another idea I got is to keep our stroller + get a travel stroller (Joolz Aer2?). Suck it up and babywear/let toddler walk whenever I'm alone with them and when I'm with my husband/nanny, ear of us can stroll kids separately. Still would love input with how it works out for others.

Hi! Very technically speaking, on the way to have 2 under 2 as they will be almost exactly 2 years apart, just learned I'm pregnant. And really need tips on how to adjust my daughter.

She's 15mo rn, nurses to sleep and for comfort. We co-sleep and she wakes multiple times a night (she doesn't need nursing every time but 2-4times a night is the norm). I don't think tandem feeding is for me, so I will need to wean earlier than expected.

We are also moving in a couple of weeks and she can have her own room in the new place and I wonder what would be a good timing (or if it's better to keep a toddler bed in our bedroom).

I just don't know where to begin.

Any tips, thoughs, and personal experiences are very appreciated. Thank you!

Hi! I imagine there are already a lot of similar posts, and I’ll be reading through them, but I’ve just found out I’m pregnant and am only starting my research, so I’d really appreciate some information and perspective.

My daughter is 15 months old. She falls asleep for the night without nursing, but nurses to nap and to stay asleep at night. She wakes multiple times; not every wake requires nursing, but 2–4 nursing sessions overnight is the norm. She also nurses 2–4 times during the day, mostly for comfort. We co-sleep.

She eats solids fine (maybe not amazingly) and accepts cow’s milk.

I've just learned I’m pregnant (very early on), and I’m trying to figure out how to handle this transition. I don’t think tandem feeding is for me, so I want to wean, but I honestly don’t know where to start.

We’re also moving soon to a place where she can have her own room, but I don’t know when or how to start transitioning her to her own bed and then room (or both at ince?). Right now she has a sidecar bed attached to mine, where she naps and initially falls asleep, but she doesn't stay there through the night.

I feel a bit lost and don’t know where to begin, so any insights, experiences, or resources are welcome. Please share how you handled similar situations, what worked, what didn’t, and anything you wish you’d known earlier. Thank you!

Hello! I was recently asked if I’d like to teach mommy-and-me music and storytelling classes at the playroom my daughter and I attend. They saw me interacting with her and other children and thought I might be a good fit for the role.

I’m an ESL teacher (M.Ed.), but I’ve never taught children younger than 7. These 45-minute classes are for children under 3 (mostly 1–2.5-year-olds). The classes are conducted in English, although we’re in a non-English-speaking country.

I’ve been considering a career shift in this direction, and having just 2–3 classes a week feels like a great way to test the waters. I’d mainly be continuing what the current teacher is doing, but with some flexibility in choosing activities.

I’d love to hear about any resources you’d recommend to help me prepare (both practical ideas and materials, as well as theory and methodology behind teaching this age group). I’d also really appreciate your favorite songs, activities, and books for this kind of class.

Any advice or perspective would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
