my son bit me so hard yesterday that I screamed and today he’s just been licking my leg or fake biting but not actually chomping down. But I say something before he actually does it so idk and the Internet not helpful

I have a nice bruise on my thigh from a bite a week ago. My daughter is pretty into biting too. If it wasn't still sweater season I'd have way more bruises too. I honestly just try to stop it before it happens. Often it's when she's tired or overstimulated so I try to anticipate that a little. Sometimes I offer her something else to bite like if we're on the couch I'll give her a blanket to bite. No idea if it helps or not. I'm just hoping it passes on its own eventually. Sorry I don't have much of a solution but I feel your pain...

I saw a video saying everytime they bite do not react no matter how mad it is and then you get down to their level and say no biting you hurt me and then give them something to bite and say you can bite this instead and whenever you see that they want to bite you ask: do you need something to bite? And give them a toy they can bite. I tried it with my daughter and so far it worked so hopefully can help you too

It’s a stage that comes and goes pretty quick. My oldest did it at that age and she’s 2.5 years old now and now my 16 month old does it too. 2.5 year old stopped doing it pretty quickly and my 16 month old is doing it less frequently. I just unlatch them from biting my shoulder or whatever they’re biting and ignore it. Just a developmental stage but it does end fairly quickly without any intervention, in my experience.

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.

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. 🩵

Postpartum

I’m only 3 days postpartum (FTM) and already have extremely bad anxiety. I’m crying every night, as I think of another night of no sleep. My baby will not settle in his cot, he cries every moment we put him down unless in his chair rocker. So me and my partner are having to alternate after 3/4 hours of being awake with him downstairs. I’m trying everything to get him to settle. It’s a load of overwhelming stress. I’m 23, I was desperate for a baby and now I have one and feel completely useless. I miss it just being me and my partner.
