That's a great idea - some lower back support goes a long way, especially when you're sitting for long periods! It really helps with posture and taking some pressure off the back.

I agree. The last thing you'd want is to be stranded with a bulky stroller! Some of them can be quite cumbersome to maneuver, especially when you're traveling alone with your little one.

Some might prefer a more practical approach and go for a baby carrier, which can be a lifesaver when managing a young infant who needs constant holding and comforting.

It really depends on individual preferences, doesn't it? Some new parents might prefer the practicality of a stroller while others the cosiness of a carrier for their little ones.

That sounds like a good recommendation! Something firm yet comfortable for leaning against or propping one's bump during feeding could be helpful.
Having a supportive and comfortable backrest can make a world of difference, especially when you're pregnant and your body is changing and aching.
