Would i be unreasonable to ask for a seperate appointment for vaccinations?

Baby is 8 weeks saturday and has her jabs booked for Friday, shes caught our cold and i was led to believe her 6 week check would be at 6 weeks and wanted to use the appointment to discuss vaccinations and schedules and other concerns from her being hospitalised recently but weve been booked in just to see a nurse to get vaccinations and the check.

Im worried babys illness could mask reactions/temps and that it means i have no time to prediscuss or someone who can actually guide on our hospitalisation and the steps forward as weve had no support since and have been waiting for this gp appointment for weeks to get some. Would i be unreasonable to ask for a seperate gp appointment first even tho this means theyll be delayed slightly by a week so at 8 weeks 4-5 days?

My little one's jabs were delayed almost a week (so he was 9 weeks when he had the first lot) due to him being 8 weeks over Xmas/New year's so was no appointments so I don't think this will matter if they are delayed. As far as I know they will only not do the jabs if little one has a temperature, so if a cold with no temp they may still do them. If not happy can ask to wait, maybe ring surgery, tell them she's due her jabs but been unwell and want to speak to dr or nurse to check it's still ok (if they can't then maybe just go to her appt anyway and ask them before she gets jabs and if they or you are not happy you can just say you want to make an appt at a later date?)

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.

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 🙂

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.

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?
