My baby is 7 weeks old today and all of last night and today he’s been feeding CONSTANTLY! I thought he had a growth spurt at 5 1/2 weeks but could there be another one? I thought they just had one growth spurt near 6 weeks! 😩

My baby boy was doing exact same i thought it was growth spurt. He would constantly cry until fed. I asked health visitor for advice and why is that happening. She said its phase of crying they go through and want something to sooth them. By 12 weeks it gets better. I tried the hungry baby formula in cow and gate at night that helped as it was more feeling. If your using formula then whatever make of it your using theirs one say hungry baby you can try it out see if it works. I also heard it is growth spurt to when they cluster feed. Dont worry this phase will pass by too my LO was doing exact same i was shocked since on hungry formula he has stopped.

My 7 week old seems to be looking to be fed constantly, but I've figured out it's just a soothing thing, he keeps sucking on his hands, but when I try and feed him he's not latching properly on my breast and just tries to suckle the end 🙄 I didn't want to use a dummy but I've started to

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.

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?
