Experience using Aniball?

Hi all,
I’m wondering if anyone tried using Aniball and how did that work for you?
I’m almost 37 weeks and cannot even insert it.
I have to deflate it completely and then pump it when inside.
I have no control over it:as soon as I inflate it slightly,it slips out.
Any advice?

I’m the same. I tried using it but couldn’t get the hang of it as it wouldn’t stay in and I don’t think I had it in far enough, so I gave up lol. And using the perimom wand instead to do perineal massage! But I’m aiming to try again tonight, maybe just needs a lot of practice!

I just started using it today , couldn’t get it in inflated , had to deflate it completely to get it in and then pump it twice , it hurt when I pushed it out but managed to do it 4 times hope it gets better !

Hi all, any updates on how you got on with the aniball? Would you recommend?!

I just couldn’t get the hang of it and found it tricky to use. I mainly used the perimon wand instead which was a lot cheaper. Although it turned out I didn’t need either as I had a c-sec in the end.

I persisted and was putting it in completely deflated then used the down breathing technique for the downstage of labour with vocalisation to push it in and out which seemed to work but in the end ended up with a C section

Wdy think of this for a toddler to learn word construction?

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.
