My daughter would only use the tommee tippee closer to nature.

Some babies just don't like pacifiers

yeah I’ve heard, just want to give it the best shot.

it's not necessary though and to be honest can cause more problems I wish I'd not given mine one 😅

really how so!?

Try the tommee tippee ultra light! We only offer to go to sleep or when sick. So she doesn’t have it super often

it changes the shape of their mouth and teeth. Always good to research

My baby loves the times tippee!! We have the mam and Phillips too

My boy never took one, was a good thing in the end as we didn’t have to wean him off them or spend the night putting it back in when the regression hit.
We tried quite a few but he would just spit them out so gave up.

My daughter only uses NINNI CO soothers. They won't cause confusion and even helped her latch get better. They are honestly the best soother I've ever found.

I would try all different types because the research done on them reducing the risk of SIDS, apparently some just don't like them but I would give it my best shot.

Nuk pacifiers and bottle nipples are ny sons favorites. He refuses other pacifiers

Try bibs, supposed to be great for breastfeeding mothers

Pacifiers are great if you can find one that works. There's research to show that they can reduce the risk of SIDS and they're so great for helping them calm down. You just might have to do some experimenting with different shapes. My daughter loves Bibs and we got some Tommy Tipee. She doesn't like the kind with the flat nipples, just likes the round ones.

Nuk dummies. They are shaped to babies right age and size of mouth . 0-3, 3-6, 6-18 etc x

My LO would not take any until we tried bibs.

My 4 month old still refusing a dummy so I gave up!

My baby is a little over 5mths. Won't take any soother or bottle. We tired. My oldest was the same. In the end was nice not having to wean from but it can be draining as the mom, I am the soother - literally lol. 🥴😅

Bibs was all my son would use.

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.
