We bought the halo for our first and really liked it and will be using it for this baby as well

When in doubt, I always defer to Wirecutter, and their recommendation was the Hallo BassiNest, which we just got in.

We have a delta children one as well. Got it on sale for $20 (originally $75!)

Snoo! Get one used on marketplace.

I got the pamobabe bedside bassinet from Walmart! They had a flash sale going on!

I got a simple bedside bassinet off of Amazon (cloud baby) in addition to the mockingbird bassinet + stand that goes with the mockingbird stroller to have a portable option too

Newton Baby

We have a Mika Mickey bassinet from our first and it’s great! I loved it with my first

I got a guava basinnet and travel crib system. I travel a lot and this would be helpful for longer time (I hope). It was pricey but I hope the investment will pay off

Pack n play with bassinet and changing pad topper. Saved so much room!!!

We loaned the UPPAbaby Bassinet to my brother. Getting that back and they're giving us the Halo they got off fb marketplace.

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!

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.

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?
