2.5yo still drink bottles

My kiddo still drinks a bottle before nap and one before bedtime. I didn’t mind it enough to stop when he turned 1 but now that my youngest is getting closer to 1 I’m thinking about stopping them both at the same time. What are your personal opinions please? How was stopping with bottles if you already went through that? And if you haven’t, when are you gonna stop giving them?
I appreciate all opinions. Thanks

My son is that age and he still drinks out of a soft tip only at night I just only let him use it for milk at night we have a specific cup with soft tip something similar to the above image designated only for that purpose...I dnt mind its literally no big deal I think the nipples they recommend to stop using at a certain age because of teeth issues

I’ve let all 3 of my kids have a nighttime bottle until 3. None have problems with their teeth. Then at 3 we pack the bottles away and send them to the “babies” who need them. It’s usually a week or so of some tears and asking for a bottle but then it’s fine. And I never do the sippy cups. That’s just what worked for my family but I thinks there’s many ways to do it.

My 2&hlf year old drinks out of the sippy nipple for his bottles , but does anyone have any advice on how to cut those during the night ? 🫠 he wakes and wants more milk. The first bottle will be only 10oz to go to sleep but every bottle after that will only have about 5oz . But it’s tiring getting up every time he wants more 🥴

we started by putting a sippy with water next to her bed so she could get it when she needed a drink herself.

My son is almost three and throws a tantrum, if he does not get a bottle. We've tried weening him off of it, but he insist on the tantrum to get the bottle instead. It's hard to concert a child to a drinking cup of sippy cup. May God be our strength. This is truly difficult.

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.

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.
