Spitting milk out

Our 4 and a half month old is terrible with feeding at the moment. I am aware of the fussies but she will only take 2-3 oz every 4-5 hours and spits a lot of it out. Does anyone else have the same? She has plenty of wet nappies but it is so frustrating! Been like it for around 2 weeks now

Yes! My son recently started doing this! I called my pediatrician and he said as long as baby has wet diapers and isn’t fussy beyond what’s normal it’s usually nothing to worry about!

Great thank you! It just seems like she is not getting enough but I guess she would cry if she wasn't x

My little girl has been like this since she was around 8 weeks old (she’s 20 weeks now) I’ve spoke to doctors and health visitors about this as i was so worried about her. But they have absolutely no concern for her as she’s still putting on weight really well she’s actually gone up a percentile. As long as baby is still having regular wet and dirty nappies, putting weight on and are generally fine in themselves then there’s nothing to worry about I got told xx

Thank you. She has dropped below her curve a little bit and they said it is fine to drop and go back up at this stage. They didn't seem concerned at the last weigh in so hopefully it is just the fussy phase! X

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.

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?

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. 🩵
