We have a tomme tippe cup with a straw and its basically in her line of site for the day. She'll go up to it whenever she wants a drink. At meals times, I put it next to her and then pick it up and say, "do you want some?" If she says no, then I'll pop it back down but normally she'll then pick it up herself and take a drink.

The only bottle/cup my LO will use is a fruit shoot bottle, we filled an empty one with water and that worked! Literally tried everything else!

Is this a taste or a cup issue?

For taste I recommend bottled water SAKA or PINAR both high in PH.
Cooled down Redbush tea (made with filtered water or bottled water.)


Home pressed orange juice diluted with water (as advised by paediatric doctor)

Cups: munchkin miracle cup or Nuby straw cup from Amazon (not weighted)

If this fails, add a tiny bit of raw honey to the water or the red bush tea.

Water / drinks shouldn’t be cold,but room temperature.

Is he moving enough ?
What other liquids does he take?

Pregnancy after c section

What time scale did everyone get pregnant again after a c section?
I know the doc said they recommend eating at least a year to 18 months but it took 4 years to get pregnant the first time after being told we could not conceive naturally so not wanting to stop it happening knowing it could take a very long time again but also worried.

Help

I was getting pretty painful period cramps and during those, I had painful lower back cramps. I had these on and off for like a few hours so from about 10:30pm to 1am?

I’ve had no show, or anything like that.

Is this braxton hicks or early labour pains?

Little girl turning herself sideways in next to me

My little girl tonight, has spun herself so she is lying sideways in her next to me, making me panic!

Is this normal at 4.5 months, do I just lie her back normally/vertically?

Labour??

I’ve had on/off mild period cramps since 9 last night, very irregular and very mild, but I just had one that woke me up. My waters haven’t gone and nor has my mucous plug… but could this be a sign that it’s close?! I’m 40+3 and desperate to meet her!

Ways to induce labor naturally

Hi All! FTM, Entering week 40 and no signs of labor, no dilation yet. Please share tips and ways to induce natural labor. Induction is already scheduled on week 41 but don’t want to go through that process.
