Mam bottles/ teats

At what point did you up the teats to teat number 2?

We have been using the bigger mam bottles now for around 2 weeks but still with teat 0 I’m thinking of changing to teat 2 today.
My little one is 8 weeks on Saturday for reference and I know they say from 2 months.

My little one is 8 weeks and we use the bigger bottles but use size 1 teats x

We were on size 2 teats from about 6 weeks old

I’m on teat 1 still but will be moving to teat 2 soon as I’ve tried him with that also and he seems to manage it! I would try him with teat 1 x

My little is 9 weeks and we have just gone up to size 2. I didn't order them in advance so had a few days of annoying slow bottle feeds.

My LO is 8 weeks and we’ve tried the next size up (size 2) and it drowns him so still in size 0/1 teats for now. Will try again in a week or so

My little boy is 7 weeks and went onto size 2 at about 3 weeks…the size 1 flow was just not quick enough for him.

My 10 week old is happy on size 1 mam and tommee tippee teats xx

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.
