Should car seat shake on the base?

Hey, I have just put my car seat and isofix in the car. It’s the Maxi cosi pebble 360 pro and the spinny slide isofix. The car seat seems to be like rockable while it’s on the base doesn’t feel sturdy? Is this normal? Please help as I’m paranoid haha video in comments xxx

Hi, we have the same one and I thought the same. As long as it’s secure (attached in the isofix) it’s safe. I’ve had to emergency brake a couple of times and it’s not moved at all.

ohhh thank you! I was thinking should I take it to be looked at because just didn’t seem sturdy! Maybe it’s meant to be like that abit like suspension incase you do need to emergency break.

Exactly the same as ours! We sent videos to maxi-cosi who confirmed it was fine as long as all the fixtures were green.

oh amazing thanks for letting me know!! I was thinking to try get someone at JohnLewis to have a look as that’s where I got it but feel reassured now!

Once it has the weight of a baby in, it won’t shake so much

Thanks ladies. Baby due in 2 weeks and I’m frantically sorting things haha x

I have a Joie one and it shakes a bit, it worried me at first but I googled and it says it helps with absorbing impact if you were in a crash. Example if you got t boned rather than the car seat staying still and getting smashed into it would move to the side slighty so less force wouls to go through the seat/baby.

oh yeah good point! I did think about that makes sense! Thank you xx

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.
