Bedside crib and safe sleeping

My baby is due 5th March and we have the Tutti Bambini bedside crib. I’ve seen a few people mentioning online about the mesh sides not going all the way down to the mattress being a safety concern. I think they mean if baby moved and face ended up pressed against the side of crib. I’ve seen other cribs online with mesh all the way down and so just wondered what people’s thoughts were on this as I’m not sure if we should get a different one xx

I have one like this and I think it is fine. My little boy slept in a moses basket for the first few weeks and then went into his moses basket inside the next to me (recommendation from the midwife) and then in this. I have it mattress height with one side down

I also have one like this, I asked the health visitor who said it’s absolutely fine. They have to meet certain standards now to be sold and that bottom bit is breathable. My baby likes sleeping with her face right up against it. You could also try squishing your nose against it and seeing if you can breathe for piece of mind x

Same as Ellen our little one presses her face right towards the edge and she is ok. Only thing I would say is when they first come home from hospital the bedside cribs can feel huge and our LO rolled a bit when I first put her in it so that worried me. We used either Moses basket or co sleeping initially they moved into this one once she was a bit bigger.

They changed the law a little while ago and now all new made bedside cribs won’t let the side go all the way down. So any pics online will be old models. So it’s actually a safety feature to have it up apparently. I find it weird though too

Wdy think of this for a toddler to learn word construction?

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 🙂

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.

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.

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?
