Saying “no”

When my 1year old is doing something she shouldn’t I say “noooo” not in a shouting way but just as you would to a baby, now she absolutely sobs when she hears the word “no” even if it’s just a conversation between other people she thinks it’s at her I feel so bad, I’ve never shouted at her or used it to traumatise her in anyway, how do I change this but also without making her think no is good and should carry on doing what she shouldn’t😩

The only time I’ll say”nooo” is if she’s near plug sockets because she loves to turn everything off and on but I don’t want her to play with sockets

Maybe just stop saying it for a while say let’s not touch the plug sockets and move her away instead

Have you tried saying stop instead? We do that and do the baby sign for it and it helps :)

You can also get socket.covers that you can use whilst things are plugged in xx

I know your feeling I tell my 13month noooo when he's doing somthing wrong and he sits down and has a right paddy🤣 throws himself down the lot and thats at 13month couldn't imagen in another year 🙈🙈

Can I just reassure you that you’ve done nothing wrong. The alternative is possibly a dead baby so please don’t beat yourself up.
Maybe watch the teletubbies a bit. They say no a lot in that but it’s playful

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!

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.

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?

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.

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. 🩵
