My house is 30 as well🫠😔 keeping baby in nappy on her cool changing mat but dunno what else I can do really!

My girl wants to be held all the time 😅 she’s just in a nappy, got the doors and windows open but curtains and blinds shut and the fan on. Trying to keep her off me but she wants to be held 24/7 🙃

this is actually brilliant!😂 I’ve been using our dogs cooling mat for my feet as baby’s not here yet! Will definitely be keeping this in mind though!

@Katie my baby has a red Liverpool vest and I hate it but his dad loves it😂

The pet cooling mat is a good idea

Avatar

he’s got both the at home and away vest then the kit aswell 😓 I refused to dress him in it 🤣

@Katie we made a deal no football kits till he's at least 3 (I'm not into it at all) he then bought this because its not a kit it's just a vest with a hat 🤦🏽‍♀️😂 I should've known he'd find a loophole. Fortunately he's only been wearing it on Saturdays when the football is on 😂

If you have a silicone or mesh feeder you can give baby some fresh or frozen fruits in that.

Also, keep baby in just a diaper most of the day.

You can use a cool rag on their forehead and wrists. 86F isn’t too bad though and baby is likely to be just fine.

We’re in front of the fan feeding pretty much hourly. I wish I could let her sit with her nappy off as it’s such a heat trap…but cute as she is I’m not keen on anything escaping from that region!

we had a deal of no football stuff until little man was older but all his work mates brought football stuff when he was born 🤦🏼‍♀️
I hate football in my eyes its a bunch of wussy’s chucking themself on the floor

@Katie my brother in law almost bought the same vest so he would have ended up with it regardless 🤦🏽‍♀️
Agreed 😂

We've opened the loft hatch to let some of the hot air get up into the loft space

Avatar

I love that you point out that you’re not keen on his outfit…I will be doing exactly the same on Saturday when the rugby World Cup baby grows comes out! 😂

Edit: I’ve just read the other comments. I’m so glad I’m not the only mum who thinks these sports kits look terrible! 😩

Cool baths and a fan in the living room xx

Using an AC unit!! Those temperatures are very unsafe for babies ro be in for extended periods of time.

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.

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.

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
