Water baby!!

does anyone else’s infant love water? My boy is 9 wks and he can be screaming and I put him in a sink full of warm water and it’s like instant satisfaction and then again as soon as I take him out and try to wrap him up in a towel he’s screaming again. sometimes putting him in a sink or tub full of warm water is the only thing I can do to get him to stop crying.

what am I supposed to do? It’s not like I can just leave him in the sink full of water all day I’ve got other things I have to do.

Picture just cuz

Awe. It's okay. Its normal. My baby girl loves the water too and definitely screams wjen we take her out.
Just make sure the towel is soft and warm. Also, make sure where you change him in his room or your room that it's also warm. We keep a heater in her room to warm it up before we transfer her there. It helps a lot, also some soft music helps too.
You got this mama!

Yeah I think it reminds them of the womb

I also highly recommend keeping the room really warm. We have a space heater in the bathroom and it’s like a little sauna. We actually get so many smiles from our little guy after taking him out and snuggling him in his towel.

Have you tried white noise that sounds like the ocean, rain drops?

do you keep his bedroom warm as well?

there was a period when I had the space heater in the bedroom too, but I was getting so hot. So I quit using it and it didn’t seem to affect his sleep.

When did you circumcise your baby?
If you DID NOT or DO NOT have a circumcised son DO NOT comment this post is not for you!

Did you wait a certain amount of time or have it done immediately?
Again respectfully, this is only for the parents who choose to do so.
opinions about how not necessary it is will not be appropriate for this post. Thank you in advance. 🩵

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?

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 🙂

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.

Postpartum

I’m only 3 days postpartum (FTM) and already have extremely bad anxiety. I’m crying every night, as I think of another night of no sleep. My baby will not settle in his cot, he cries every moment we put him down unless in his chair rocker. So me and my partner are having to alternate after 3/4 hours of being awake with him downstairs. I’m trying everything to get him to settle. It’s a load of overwhelming stress. I’m 23, I was desperate for a baby and now I have one and feel completely useless. I miss it just being me and my partner.
