Mam Bottles Vs. Dr. Browns

Which do you prefer and why?

We've been using Como tomo but thinking of making the switch.

I heard good reviews about both but I went for the mam bottles which I’ve been using for the past two months
She doesn’t get colic with these as she did with the tommee tipee which I started off with
Also they easier to clean compared to the dr browns
Can also sterilise the mam bottles in the microwave if you need them quicker as my steriliser takes an hour so sometimes pop them in the microwave if I need sooner

MAM - the nipple is just easier for him to latch to every time, easy to wash and sterilize and I find it doesn’t make him as gassy compared to others but I have had a hard time finding extra bottles so I tried the Nuk bottles and they do pretty good too like MAM

Mam! Dr Browns kept leaking, I love Mam bottles

Thanks ladies! The Lactation consultant today had never heard of mam and recommended Dr. Browns but I know Mam is so loved and comparable to Dr. Browns.

We came to hate Dr Brown's because they leak incessantly and they're so hard to clean. Also, my baby struggled to feed on them because they would leak into her mouth. I haven't tried Mam, but we switched to Philips Avent Natural Respnse and they are fabulous! Milk only comes when baby actively sucks like breastfeeding, they never leak at all, they are super easy to clean, and the anti colic valve seems to work because she's never had a problem.

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.
