push or sit walkers?

my son is 8.5 months old, stands well on his own, wants to walk already but seems to be a bit underweight. Which would y’all suggest walker-wise?

I liked the chair because I think it helps them build up those legs muscles

...you mean months right?!! For an 8.5 week old absolutely none of these- just floor time!
For an 8.5m old- the push walker 😊 the sit in ones can be dangerous as the baby is stuck and if accidentally left unattended, injuries can happen. It also puts them in an unnatural position and doesn't teach them balance as they are sort of sitting and pushing and sometimes toe walking

Push walker hands down. This is strictly my opinion: sit walkers promote bad walking posture/habits and they’re not safe.

My daughter has a push walker and it allows her to walk and when she plays with the toys on the front she’s able to work her legs from standing up and down

I was just about to say that baby is to small to be in a walker lol

Push

I have both just because she loves to jump up and down in her sit walker and just got a push walker but mine is not ready to walk anytime soon

girl yes🤦🏽‍♀️ I meant months, I didn’t even catch that 😭

I miss when my baby was 8 weeks tho 😭🥺

Push walker.

Sit walkers aren’t good for their hip/ walking development!

My baby is really tiny too and I got her the walker… she hates it! She’s too small for it and falls sideways, I have to put a pillow behind her so she can fit correctly 😭

Push walker. From my experience we got our daughter one at 6months when she started to lift herself and take a few steps using it. She is now 8 months and has become a pro at it. She can’t stay still so she is a lot happier being able to roam around.

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.
