Furniture recommendations

Hi everyone, I am first time mummy to be (only 5weeks 6 days). My mind is on overdrive and my most recent obsession is the babies nursery! Lol. I won’t buy anything for a good while but does anyone have recommendations on best places to buy for quality and price?

Thanks everyone ❤️

I started my registry around then! It was a fun, well-organized way to save things I wanted, or various options to narrow down later. I'm 18 weeks now and life has gotten crazy busy and I'm glad I got a head start with it.

I chose a Narnia theme for my baby's nursery, so I picked colors and sheet sets and furniture that goes with that. Also, my aunt is giving me a grey crib, so I chose other matching grey furniture.

One thing I'm excited about is a diaper changing cart - a 3-tier cart with wheels that you can stock with diapers, a breast pump, some extra outfits and burp cloths, etc. and wheel around the house so you don't always have to go to where the changing table is.

Ah thanks kenedi ❤️ that sounds so magical!! 💫 what websites have you been on? Xx

You're welcome! Thank you!

I've mostly used Amazon. I've also gone to the store and found cute things and added them once I got back home. And I found lamp posts in an auction so I bought those! And I'll be making posters for his room with Narnia quotes and characters.

BabyList is a great registry option because you can add things from any site on there.

Most of mine is on Amazon though. I haven't decided which to use. I also haven't narrowed things down yet 😅 https://www.amazon.com/baby-reg/kenedi-cross-matthew-cross-march-2024-warren/MVFS3W5DAW9V

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.
