What formula is everyone going to be using? I'm not sure on what to use with my baby.

I’ve gone with Kendamil.
I think it’s so strict that all formula is practically the same but I just like the look of Kendamil and that it’s made in the Lake District! 🇬🇧

I'm just so unsure.

Id think about what is most accessible for you. What do your local supermarkets / smaller shops sell if you need formula late at night or on a Sunday if you’ve forgot to get some.
See what works best for you.
Look at pricing..

We are using cow and gate - all formula must have the same ingredients! But I know our local co op stocks cow and gate! So that's what we have gone with xxx

Ive got cow and gate again because it easy to get everywhere and u can get the pre-made bottles for the early days for ease and days out x

I'm going with Cow and Gate again. This is my 3rd and I used C&G with both of my other 2 and have the hospital bottles of it already in my bag ready to go. It's readily available at most supermarkets, corner shops and fuel stations most of the time too. The more specialised ones aren't as readily available of needed in a hurry. 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 🙂

When did you circumcise your baby?
If you DID NOT or DO NOT have a circumcised son DO NOT comment this post is not for you!

Did you wait a certain amount of time or have it done immediately?
Again respectfully, this is only for the parents who choose to do so.
opinions about how not necessary it is will not be appropriate for this post. Thank you in advance. 🩵

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.
