Anyone else's baby hate their car seat?

Has anyone else found that their little one cries when they're in the car seat? Apart from when he's asleep he just cries in the car. I've fed him so he's not hungry and have tried giving him toys to play with but I can't find anything to help soothe him. 🙈 I can't sit in the back with him as my other boy is the back and I can't fit in the middle! Any suggestions?

My girl HATES hers and I feel like I’ve tried everything! 🥲

I brought the doona buggy that folds down into a car seat it really helped him get used to it it also reclines so I can push him around in it for longer periods but I would take him on a little walk to the car in it which settled him and then fold it down and put him in the car so there was no transfer he wouldn’t have to get out which used to set him off and it goes up to 13kg so get a good use out of it it’s so convenient when popping popping to the shops too x

I found out the straps were too low for my baby! Once we adjusted them she is happy like 90% of the time, we haven’t had any proper crying for over a week!

@Draya I feel your pain! I just gave him a muslin to hold and he's settled down! Nothing else I tried worked! 🤞🏻it will work next time!

@Anna thank you will have a look at this ☺️

@Lauren mine attaches to the Pram so I might try taking him on some walks in it to get him more used to it! ☺️

Yep mine screams until she falls asleep 😩

Yea perfect it might help no harm in trying x

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 🙂

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.

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.

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.

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?
