Transitioning to toddler cup

What's everyone's plan for transitioning to a toddler cup from bottle? She's only 10 months so I'm thinking ahead but she can't hold her own bottles yet and would love to encourage self feeding. She guzzles water from her munchkin 360 cup but doesn't understand how to use a straw cup. Should I just offer her milk in her munchkin 360 when the time comes or do I get her into a straw/suck a spout type of cup?

Buy a doidy cup it's slanted so easier for them to tip and drink from. Light weight and has two handles for self feeding... Just doesn't have a lid. Just start with a small amount in the bottom. And see what happens... X

thank you! I'll have a look! I've never given her a sippy cup with a valve in so she's had to sip/suck, even the ones that have come with valves I knew she'd struggle so took them out but now it seems I've made my life difficult haha

My daughter had a Tommee tippee cup, so without a valve which she drinks water out of when out and about as she likes to throw it about lol, and a doidy cup which we use in the high chair for milk with breakfast and water at meal times, but generally have about an Oz in it at a time so is she dies throw it is not loads and wasted (breast milk) lol
She is ten months next week, and when I was at my mum's in Monday I'd forgotten her water cup, so my mum gave her one of the kids beakers with a straw attached and she drank from it. I didn't think she would but she did so I say just try. Xx

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.

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.

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?
