I would mention it when you get him weighed but likely nothing to worry about! Assuming he’s still having plenty of wet nappies? Our son was a month before he stopped pooing everyday, now he can go up to 5 days between poops (he’s 2 months & 2 weeks). To make sure he doesn’t become uncomfortable I’d say do some clockwise tummy massages, bicycle kicks etc just to help get things moving! It’s also normal for babies to lose weight after birth so try not to worry x

I breast feed my baby as well and he’s constantly pooping. Like said above it’s normal for babies to lose some of their weight when they’re brought home, my baby lost 5oz but gained double what he needed to the weeks after that. Most of the time you can tell how much baby is eating by how much they’re pooping, so if baby isn’t having very many poops baby might just not be getting enough during feeds. My baby will feed for 15 min and act like he’s done but I try to get him to eat more cause he should be eating for about 30min at a time. Not saying you’re not feeding enough either just saying maybe he’s not getting enough, you also may not be able to produce enough some women just can’t. But if baby is getting plenty of food and you’re sure of it than I would check with the doc to see why he’s having a hard time getting a poop out!

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

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.
