I’ve heard of this! I saw on the news that a mom fed some of the nitramogen hypoallergenic one and it had maggots as well.
When you say days how many days?

Is the formula expired? Has it been stored properly?

It's normal I forgot a bottle of breastmilk under the couch found it a week and a half later with maggots I just threw it away because I don't do bugs but I think it's caused by the humidity and moisture I'd say just throw the bottle away

maybe a week

no, it’s not expired I left about 2 oz sitting for some days and found maggots in it. I can’t recall how many days it’s been sitting… I was so grossed out and wanted to cry 🥲

thanks girly!

omg, were they a lot?

Yes, obviously any food that is left out for days can attract flies that will eventually reproduce larvae. What's the question?

I would definitely throw the bottle away. I'm not drinking out of anything that had maggots in it and neither is my baby. Idc if it was a $50 bottle lol. 🤢

How are you leaving bottles with milk in for days? Are you not cleaning them everyday and getting rid of unused milk to stop bacteria growth? Don't mean to sound judgey here at all but everytime my baby has a bottle and she's finished I empty left Iver milk and rinse the bottle then sterilise them all together later on

I've done it by accident when we've been away from the house. Left it on my car bc it fell out of the diaper bag pocket 😅 I've definitely had day when I left bottles overnight too just bc I didn't feel up to going through the whole cleaning process by the time baby FINALLY went to sleep. It happens. I personally just wouldn't use that bottle anymore. Although it would be perfectly safe still as long as it was cleaned and sterilized

kinda I don't do bugs so after I noticed it went straight to the trash

I have multiple bottles Karen

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

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.

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

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 🙂

Pumping advise

FTM to a 2 week old! I’m breastfeeding and then giving one formula bottle last in the evening before bed. I want to start expressing milk to give me some breathing room and also allow my partner to be more involved in feeding. I’m finding the idea of introducing pumping into my day quite overwhelming though. I don’t want to take milk away from my baby by pumping if he needs it during the day when being breastfeed.

Can anyone advise how I start pumping and when to do it? Thank you!

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.
