I think I have this lol but paid alot more for it in November haha. I really like it

My cousin has a joie gtc and recommends. I have decided to go with one you can carry and clip in and out for when mine is born (incase she falls asleep in the car). But will be buying this later.

I have this for my son, it’s good and does the job! We got it when he was 1 and a half and he just turned 3. My daughter has the Cosatto 360 all in all i (yes I know Cosatto car seat have had a bad rep but trust me when I say I did a LOT of research and this model has been tested beyond the standard testing as it was their most expensive one till they brought out the Swedish one which costs nearly £700) and it’s as good if not better than the Joie :)

Think the joie seats are pretty safe but even though they say from birth you won't get a good fit until 4-6 months. Seats on bases are really big and bulky though, we have one and now she's 2 it's so hard to get her in and out not hitting her head on the door or roof

The Facebook group called Car Seat Advice UK is good. I'm in a few car seat groups but I like the person that mainly runs that one. You can search the group to see what's been said about this seat already or ask a question.

Edited to say I just checked and she seems to have that one on her website too and cheaper than the one in your picture - she's so lovely and full of advice even after you've bought it that I'd recommend buying from her.

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. 🩵

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.
