Do we think glow in the dark pacifier/ dummys are safe ? It says they are online

I’m not sure whether I want my son using a glow one

The views expressed in community are solely the opinions of participants, and do not reflect those of Peanut.

These products often contain phosphorescent or luminescent materials, and if these materials are not properly regulated or if the pacifier is damaged, there could be a risk of ingesting harmful substances. Additionally, some people may be sensitive or allergic to certain materials used in the glow feature. Always choose products from reputable manufacturers, follow safety guidelines, and inspect the pacifier regularly for any signs of wear or damage to ensure the well-being of the child.

I asked chatgpt

I personally wouldn't use them.

yeah I’ve been unsure. Any reason why?

In truth I wouldn't use any plastic pacifier. There was a study by american chemical society and 100% of all plastici pacifiers contained BPA, BPS or BPF despite all being labeled as "BPA Free" most also contained triclosan and parabens. Secondly, when I used to be a Nanny I obseserved many pacifiers with scrapes from regular use meaning the luminescent material could be exposed.

I personally would only buy a 100% natural rubber or food grade silicone pacifier and I would stay away from one's with added ingredients of any kind.

I'm in the "better safe than sorry" camp.

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.
