Milk feeds all over the place

Hi has anyone else noticed since starting solids. milk feeds are all over the place? I’m finding it so hard to get into a routine. My LO will be on the boob for less time but more often 🤷🏻‍♀️

My LOs feeds have gone to pot since starting solids too. She still looks for boob at least every hour but just suckles for a few seconds then off again. She only really takes a proper feed when bf to sleep for naps and bed but is up more feeding through the night so almost like reverse cycling. She loves her food and think she’s just not as interested in milk as much during the day 🙈

I was getting worried because I know milk is their main food until 1 and I don’t want it my milk to reduce. But also I don’t think my LO eats that much solids. I’m so confused. I follow his lead, he seems fine but he’s having less wet nappies too. He’s on the boob for naps and bed too. And multiple times in the night. But I don’t know if that’s for comfort or hunger x

I’ve been through so many phases like this with my little one now and she always settles back down in a bit of time. Weaning is such a big change for them to adjust to. Milk is primary nutrition until one but it is normal for baby to reduce some feeds when established on solids. So long as my LO is gaining well, fine in herself and enough wet / dirty nappies I’ve just learned to trust that she knows what she’s doing and will take what she needs 😊. My LO feeds frequently during the night too but she does wake up looking for it and I always feed on demand so I figure she must need it and is making up for anything she’s missed during the day x

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.

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.
