BabyBjörn Bouncer Balance Soft vs Bugaboo Butterfly

“We like our bugaboo butterfly so much that it’s now our primary stroller.”

“Hear me out— a babybjorn bouncer (or a similar knockoff). That thing is upright enough for reflux, and MOBILE! You just bring that baby along for the ride. Whizz through the feed, burp, change, pop him in it and get in the shower with the curtain open. Call it a sensory experience for the baby, experiencing their first sound of rainfall. Same with making food - baby in bouncer, use your foot to jiggle him, and eat something. Sing to him at the same time to ease any lingering guilt. A carrier is also a game changer - mine could sleep in there for hours, while I could walk, get housework done, go to the shop… Idk how old your baby is but if he’s really small, I had a black and white cloth thing that I put around the edge of the Moses basket that he happily stared at, and he also liked a blanket on the floor, staring at the ceiling light. Apparently they love a ceiling fan. It takes time, and sleep deprivation hindering normal brain function is so relatable. But you gotta eat - I remember my supply dropping from hunger in those early months.”
