No dummy

So it’s almost been 2 months since we’ve taken away my little boys dummy! And I can tell you he’s been absolutely amazing without it! We thought to do it early! As he has 8 teeth too, sleeping so much better at night time too not waking up looking for his dummy too!

So glad to read this, we are looking to remove our little girls dummy as we think that’s why she keeps wakening up so much at night. Xx

it’s definitely changed alot we thought we better remove it before he gets to the age where he gets addicted to it too! Definitely worth a go xx

thanks ☺️ yeah we definitely feel it’s a good idea to try and say goodbye to it before Layla becomes too aware of it being away xx

What's the best way to get rid? Just take them off her cold turkey or gradually? X

How did you manage? Mine won't settle back to sleep without it x

awh yayy!!! It’s so worth it! Isn’t it I feel like he’s eating and drinking more water in the day too without it! X

I done it in the morning so he had a fresh day without it and went completely cold turkey, it was hard at the beginning but he falls asleep so much easier now! X

just got to push through it that’s what we had too, just had to go rock and pat bum when he was waking but now he doesn’t look for it at all and falls back to sleep a lot easier

I just went completely cold turkey, and pushed through all the tough naps and nights and I would say after a week of hard nights and days he was absolutely amazing after a week it was like he never had a dummy in the first place xx

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. 🩵
