Embarrassed to say the least 🫠

At pre school pick up today I have been informed my child is spitting at the other children (absolutely not a behaviour I will tolerate)I apologised a bunch of times but I’m so embarrassed he’s done it in the first place, the only game we play at home where there’s remotely any spitting is in the bath when he sips the water to spit it out. Should I stop playing this game ? He doesn’t have the greatest communication yet but does have a great understanding. He also spat for the first time on the walk to pre school yesterday where he was reminded firmly that we don’t spit it’s dirty and we only spit in the bath or when brushing teeth and he didn’t do it again. How do I approach this and stop him from doing it as it’s not something he does at home.

I would imagine he’s probably testing boundaries ! Don’t beat yourself up mama- def toddler behaviors. I know it’s embarrassing but I think just a conversation about it will help!

I really hope so I will keep being persistent with the reminders if and when I see him do it. I know it’s very common toddler behaviour I just wasn’t ready for it as it’s come completely out the blue, they even said that it’s something they deal with all the time but still doesn’t change the feeling 😬

Yeah it’s like where do they get this stuff?! I felt similarly recently when my son kept hitting!

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.

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.

Postpartum

I’m only 3 days postpartum (FTM) and already have extremely bad anxiety. I’m crying every night, as I think of another night of no sleep. My baby will not settle in his cot, he cries every moment we put him down unless in his chair rocker. So me and my partner are having to alternate after 3/4 hours of being awake with him downstairs. I’m trying everything to get him to settle. It’s a load of overwhelming stress. I’m 23, I was desperate for a baby and now I have one and feel completely useless. I miss it just being me and my partner.
