    so sweet! I'm glad you are an emphathic partner. something similar and in line with what you said is. Besides asking like how are you doing, what can I do for you. As for things on her mind, small or big things can preoccupy her mind and worry/stress her out even though it might me relatively simple for you to do :).

    Love the video! Great content quality for a new channel. What are your thoughts on the Mockingbird stroller? My wife and I are between the Mockingbird 2.0 and Vista v2 for our stroller. Any thoughts are appreciated, thank you!

    • @DadLifePGH
      @DadLifePGH 17 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Thank you! I’m really happy that you found the content helpful! For the stroller decision, you narrowed it down to two really good options! We were about to go with the Uppababy or Nuna travel systems until we heard about the Mockingbird system and tried it out. All things considered, the Mockingbird 2.0 and Vista 2.0 are essentially direct competitors in terms of features and the accessories they offer. The biggest difference is the cost where the Mockingbird is ~1/2 the cost. Some of the intangible things that you’ll want to try for yourself is how well each of them fit into your car or your mode of transportation. You’ll want to test how easy you find to fold and unfold the strollers with one hand (since you’ll be doing this a lot!) In terms of weight of the stroller frame itself, it looks like the Mockingbird is 1 lb lighter than the Vista V2, so this could be significant if you’ll be carrying the stroller up and down stairs or in & out of car trunks often. The last thing to think about is the car seat decision. It appears that Mockingbird car seat adapter is compatible with almost all major car seat brands whereas the Vista V2 is compatible with a fewer set of brands. So, if you’re still considering which car seat to go with and you want to get a stroller first, then the Mockingbird will give you more flexibility and freedom for your car seat decision. This site might be useful: www.babylist.com/gp/mockingbird-car-seat-adapter-for-mockingbird-stroller/15467/276094 Hope this helps! Would love to hear which one you decide to go with.

    • @DadLifePGH
      @DadLifePGH 26 วันที่ผ่านมา

      We had a harder time burping our first child in the beginning but it will get better. Also, we noticed that burping wasn’t as necessary when nursing because less air is ingested vs when drinking out of a bottle. Have you experienced this?

    • @CWS1985

      @@DadLifePGH I've noticed that. But now we bottlefeed since she doesn't take the breast anymore

    • @DadLifePGH
      @DadLifePGH 26 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @CWS1985 that makes sense. Hopefully it’ll start to get better for you soon. A couple other things that have helped us are: 1) If you try the seated method (on your lap), we found that if you can help them sit straight up, we usually have better success getting a burp out. 2) Also, more recently we found that by starting with the seated method for a few minutes then switching to the shoulder method - we sometimes get a good burp once they’re on the shoulder.
