Formula question

Has anyone successfully moved on to Mam teat size 3 ? I've heard its really fast but my LO recently is stopping after 2oz every time. Sometimes he's going back to it within the hour but atm it feels a struggle for him to drink. Not sure if anyone else is experiencing the same and has had success with another teat or something

2 is too fast for my baby she’s still on 1

Hey yeah I have I tried it it at 4 months but she wasn’t ready she kept choking, spluttering and trying to avoid the teat - so went back to size 2 then when I felt she was ready at around 5 months 1 week I tried again with lots of breaks she was quite out of breath trying to keep up with it but she got the hang of it within a week

I’ve tried it around 5.5 months and it just went everywhere and he pulled away too fast but his clicking speed the bottle so I think 2 is too slow 3 does seem like a big jump

We have actually started to move onto number 3 now. There is definitely a transitional period with these! The best thing to do is to start in the daytime so they are more alert and able to adapt and learn. There will be a bunch of spluttering and coughing but they are perfectly ok. They will eventually learn it! Took our LO about 4 or 5 days to absolutely master it during the day and night.
You just have to bite the bullet and persevere with it. They will pick it up in no time x

Wdy think of this for a toddler to learn word construction?

I'm open to anything else to start teaching him to read and write. He's 3!

Do men really enjoy fellatio?

Been together more than 10 years, but it's been a while since he even seemed remotely interested in me getting on my knees, or vice versa so to speak. I think it was once last year. Must be something I am doing wrong 🤔. Generally everything else in that department is great and we have two young kids with no extra support, so it's quite surprising we can't keep our hands off each other but may need to try new things. It's basically 2 positions each time with some foreplay.

Vanilla extract

Has anyone used alcohol free vanilla in their babies formal to help them drink?
I’m 100% sure my baby refuses her bottles as she doesn’t like the taste of it!

Just anxious to try it, don’t want her to get used to it and then refuse bottles again after two weeks of using (correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve read you use it for 2 weeks max)

TIA 🙂

Car seat crying

My 6 month old PANICS the second I put him in a car seat and screams, cries, chokes and recently even projectile vomited on a 14 minute drive. It’s gotten to the point I don’t even bring him out unless it’s to a doctors appointment. I’m a stay at home mom with no family in my state and it has been very isolating. We’ve tried 3 different car seats with no improvement. Has anyone had a baby who hated the car seat? Any advice? This started at 3 months. I will add it does seem worse when he’s tired. He does cry on every trip though. He only contact naps and co sleeps so he reaches for me and will not sleep in the car seat.

Naps

How is everyone doing for naps?

Little one is 9 months old and will have 2 half hour naps and one solid 1 hour - 2 hour nap a day

Then settles for night around 9pm. Wakes for a feed around 3:30 then sleeps until 6-7

Sex post C section

Hi ladies I’m 4 weeks 5 days postpartum and I had a C section. I’m not bleeding properly anymore just some brownish discharge stuff that starts on and off. I’d like to do the deed with my partner; is it okay to do so or shall I wait the full 6 weeks. I feel up for it but also worried because the advice is 6-8 weeks.
