My mate rly recommended the momcozy s12 pro it's a wearable breast pump x

Hi Shannon, This one’s pretty pricey but it’s excellent and has helped me so much through my breastfeeding journey for times when my breasts are too sore to feed my Bub directly. Without it I wouldn’t have been able to provide him as much breastmilk as I do. It’s relatively comfortable too.

My friend has great reviews on this Momcozy one

I used a Medela too with my first, it was great.
I tried the Elvie, and really just didn’t get on with it at all!

I have the momcozy s12 pro after seeing multiple reviews and videos of it. Hoping it’s as good as they say it is as it wasn’t cheap

Thanks everyone ill have a look. So many options 🤣 ive had my eye on the momcozy though 😊
@Amy yeah definitely not due till January so still plenty time just wanted to have a look see what others were maybe recommending 😊

I told my mum I was looking at the momcozy and she bought it for me so no money wasted on my part 😂

I swore by my Elvie with my first and plan to use it again. Hands free is the way to go! It takes longer but you can get on and do stuff whilst you pump

@Verity does it make a lot of noise or is it quiet lol?

@Stacey ideal haha my mums been asking me so i suspect this will happen to 🙈 shes taking me bra shopping.. i dont wear bras so the thought is terrifying me 🥲

I think my mom is getting me the spectra, she is a lactation consultant, but I am considering the momcozy M5 as a hands free option as well

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!

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 🙂

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.

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.
