Nappy bins - help?

Hi guys! So can someone who’s a mum explain this obsession with expensive nappy bins? Am I missing something?
My partner and I are going to be going compostable nappies. But eventually will be trying the even more environmentally friendly options once we get the swing of parenting.
Just wondering wha the pros are of the nappy bin? Is it just smell and keeping nappies separate from trash? It feels a bit insane to spend a few hundred dollars on a bin and then be locked into expensive refills? Would love oppinions! ❤️❤️🥰❤️

We’re planning to cloth diaper and got a bin, mostly to have somewhere in the baby room to put diapers when they’re dirty and to try to lock in the smell. I want to say ours was only $50-60USD and maybe another $20 for cloth liners for it (that can also be washed). I think it’s helpful to have but I definitely wouldn’t spend hundreds of dollars on one

I've been wondering the same. We asked for the Diaper Genie brand and it was $48 on Amazon. We weren't sure if we needed more than that

@Dana Amazon has their brand of the refill bags that fit perfectly into the diaper genie. I have 2 diaper genies already for both my kids and love it. I'm getting a 3rd for this baby because I will have 3 in diapers and it's just easier to have one in each of their bedrooms. The Amazon refill bags are so much cheaper than the brand name ones and do the exact same thing.

yup! We have those on the registry as well

Oh thanks ladies! I might get one to hedge my bets here! Appreciate it! ❤️❤️

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.

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?
