Aptimil Pepti 1

Sorry I may sound daft but I’m new to all this!

My little boy has been breast fed for the past 4 months however since starting formula he has been sicky etc. we have been to the GP who has said he thinks he has a cows milk allergy. He has given us Aptimil pepti 1 to try however this is the problem.. my little one is used to pre made bottles at room temperature and will smash one the bottle of formula (made it following the instructions as never used powder before!) is warm and by the time he needed the feed he was exhausted from screaming and crying! The other problem I have is he doesn’t feed at regular times so I can’t even time the feeds!

Does anyone has a solution to this or can help! Summarising it down I just need help with the following

1) how long after “making” a bottle can I leave it before I feed him?
2) how do I do it if he doesn’t like warm milk?!
3) how do I make it when I’m out?!

Thank you in advance
Regards
A very over stimulated, stressed out, first time mumma!

Hey momma, thats tough to hear, my little guy is severely lactose intolerant (he can eat cheese, but no other dairy) so I feel your stress. What I did for my little guy, was have the water in sterilized bottles, on the counter, with everything on it (nipple, ring, and cap) and I got a formula dispenser ( munchkin brand like $15) I would measure out 3 bottles into the dispenser, its seperated,or whatever container you like,I've also used baby bullet containers to hold formula on the go. Then when babes is hungry you mix one container/compartment into your bottle, shake and go. If babes like it slightly warmer amd you need insta-ready formula, get a baby brezza. I got one second hand for $80 and it was the best thing ever.

My little one is on this formula and to make it in the house I use the perfect prep machine as it doesn’t make it too hot but the hot shot dissolves the powder as it’s quite difficult to dissolve the powder I find and when I’m out I use the formula dispensers a flask of boiled water and the nuby rapid cool takes like 3-5 minutes to do a bottle whilst out x

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 🙂

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.

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.
