I’m exclusively pumping and have been using Dr. Browns but they have been leaking. What do y’all use?

We had the same problem with Dr. Browns. We switched to the Philips Avent & haven’t had an issue since.

Phillips Avent is what we use, have never had an issue with them! I was also exclusively pumping at first since my baby started out in NICU. I swear by the avent

I also back the avent!

I use MAM when we need to give a bottle and haven’t had an issue!

I'm having the same problem with the evenflo. I mostly nurse but occasionally give a bottle. The evenflo leak so much😭 but my son won't take the Philips Avent for some reason

Don’t do the Amazon avimo ones. I got them and they leak on/off especially the 10oz. I like the nuk and mam

Nanobebe

All of you who are using the glass avent- do you ever have issues with the flow? That’s why I switched from glass avent to glass dr browns

We use the Dr. brown options + and never have an issue. The Dr brown natural bottles leak horribly.

I second nanobebe!!! I love them and so does my daughter!!

I’m almost exclusively breastfeeding still, but the couple times that we’ve used a bottle we’ve used como tomo. The only leak that we’ve had was one time when the nipple wasn’t fully pushed through the ring before the bottle was given to baby.

how so? Love the glass avent and haven’t had any issues

i use mam and my baby loves it

it’s so strange, milk seems not to flow from the nipple as my baby feeds. No issue with the dr browns at all though! And he has no issue latching to the boob either. It’s literally just the avents this has happened with

Just switched to Avent bottles today - used the sample and I’m sold baby seems to like the flow & it’s not leaking also way LESSSS PARTS to clean!!! 🤣

I use Avent anti colic but the nipples wear out pretty quick so you have to change them out or else they will leak too

I’m also exclusively pumping

phillips avent and lansinoh are my favorites

Como Tomo

I’m pumping and breast feeding and como tomo is great no issues

I love my Boon bottles!!!

Boon Nursh the BEST

Thanks everyone! I decided to try Avent by Phillips natural flow and he responded well with no leaks

I likee Dr. Browns and the lansinoh the best. Just bought a Nuk anti colic today and she seemed to like it 🤷🏽‍♀️

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 🙂

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.

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

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.
