Lawsuit against Dr brown and Philips avent bottles

Has anyone read or seen this lawsuit, if so are you still going to keep using their bottles? I have so many Dr browns and would hate for them to go to waste.

i can barley find any links for the recall and class action only has one article that says alleged

I’m not giving them up tbh. Most of the studies that show any harm have happened in an occupational environment, and not the general population. Additionally, it said that the bottles could. Unless they can definitively prove that they leak microplastics & said exposure has caused health effects, minus other factors, I’m not going to worry too much about it

Does it include their glass bottles as well?

There’s microplastics in everything, there’s no escaping it 😭

I actually saw this and switched over to glass bottles just to be on the safe side

It sucks. Microplastics are in everything. They've found traces all over the body, in the food we eat, etc.

If you switch to a glass bottle, the nipple is still made from plastic so we can't win. Also glass bottles can shatter into a million pieces.

A lot of people in the plastics/oil industry have profited so much throughout time and now our generation and future generations have to deal with the consequences of our predecessors just because they wanted to line their pockets 😭😭😭

Did you wait a certain amount of time or have it done immediately?

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.
