HELP! My New Baby hates their Stroller.

We love to pass on great information for new moms when we get it. Ciara a mother and owner at www.babybrowsing.com is a regular contributor for Baby Does NYC and she recently helped out a new mom (Heather Moss) with a common problem: a newborn baby that hates going into his or her new stroller. Here are Ciara’s great tips:

• Buy a Stroller mobile or toy to entertain.  My daughter loved the bright starts giraffe http://amzn.to/1pnEkII
• If it’s the stroller straps he’s not a fan of you could try stroller Strap covers
• If he’s in the bassinet, try Swaddling him to make him feel more secure
• Raise the mattress up a little as he might not like being flat. My daughter wanted to see everything going on around her and much preferred a higher position
• Put in a blankie with your scent on it for him
• Start with short walks and gradually build up over time. Put him in the stroller as you are ready to run out the door so you’re on the move quickly.
• Plan your strolls for when he’s just fed and in good spirits
• At 3 months, he may prefer the seat slightly raised

In addition because her baby would not go into his stroller, Heather used her baby carrier a lot. But the carrier that Heather used began to hurt her shoulders and back especially as her baby began to put on weight. We have tried and tested the Baby Bjorn carrier ONE in the past and we have found it to be the most supportive and long-lasting carrier for a mom in the City. Baby Bjorn kindly offered to gift Heather their chesnut brown baby carrier ONE and here is Heather’s feedback:

5 Winter Must-Haves for Moms

1. Warm winter coat

There are some great winter coats on offer, but one in particular to consider is the Canada Goose Kensington Parka.  The Kensington parka fits the bill for keeping you toasty warm while managing to retain a sense of style. It’s a form-fitting, feminine winter jacket offering great protection against the winter elements. It keeps you warm without adding unnecessary bulk to your silhouette. Long and slim-fitting, the Kensington is insulated with 625 fill power white duck down and features a two-way adjustable, fleece-lined down hood with a removable coyote fur ruff, making it equally appropriate for strolling a city street or hiking a snowy trail. The practical storm flap that covers the front zipper is dotted with stylish military buttons, while the waist is drawn in snugly with adjustable straps. Recessed storm cuffs and fleece-lined pockets keep your wrists and hands cozy. The high-shine, polyester/nylon fabric adds a touch of flair.  Four sets of outer pockets provide great storage options which is always great to have when little ones are in tow.
