Drinking water

Are your babies drinking water? My 9 month old just will not drink any water, I’ve tried different cups/ bottles etc he grabs the bottle but as soon as he realises it’s water he just spits it out.

My boy is 8 months, drinks very little water and also spits it back out as well 🤦‍♀️
We use the Tommee Tippee free flow sippy cup one. It’s so frustrating haha. You’re definitely not alone!

My little wouldn’t and then I’d have a cup of water for me I’d drink and I’d give her sips out of a normal cup. ( she always wants what mine haha) Which I then think gave her the taste and got used to water and now she’ll drink it out of her bottle x

Mines the same. He drinks better out of my cup but has started to drink a little from his Tommy tippee but still occasionally drowns himself as he’s not used to the flow. I popped some sliced strawberry in to flavour it and also he has watermelon so at least he has some water intake d

My LB wouldn't have plain water and wouldn't have blackcurrant no added sugar juice added to it then my mother in law suggested ribena no added sugar and he drinks alot more now I've got a tomme tippee bottle with handles and he loves it however I just keep offering through the day and he'll take small amounts then push it away but he will drink alot when he wants it so little is better than nothing I suppose xx

Mine was the same. The only thing that worked was putting pure coconut water in the cup & then the next meal i did 50% coconut water and 50% water and then just water by dinner & it worked ahhaha

C - section

Hello lovelies, I’m getting closer to my date of c section.

Can I ask how it all went for you? I felt prepared and now I have this awful feeling what if I bleed out! I’m sure that’s not the case. But I just wondered how it went, and how the aftermath was. I have seen on social media people say it’s horrendous but then I speak to friends and family and they’re like yeah it’s not easy but you can cope! You can walk, etc. I think it’s the unknown… lol!

Also were you all sick during your procedure and did you all get terrible trapped gas? If so what tips do you have xx

Just want to sleep again! 🫩

I wake up around 8.30am, have some cereal, meditate/pray for a bit, make a cuppa and then by 10am I’m tired again and could easily nap. My iron levels have been checked and were fine. Is it just me or is anyone else feeling like this? I’m currently 35 weeks pregnant 👀

Can you see anything? I’m 12 DPO 🙏

My own opinion is that this is inconclusive (can maybe see a vvvfl but could also be an indent too hard to tell) but curious what others see

Princess birthday party

My child will be turning 5 over the summer and they’ve asked for a princess party but keep changing their mind on which princess they’d like to most their party so have said I can choose 🙈 which princess would your child have chosen at a similar age or if you’ve been to a few princess parties which one was best?

cheating dream

i need advice but PLS DON'T JUDGE!!!
last night i had a dream, i always used to dream my partner cheating on me with my friends, or being super mean, but since we had our baby those dreams disappeared. for context, we haven't been able to have sex yet, I'm 12 weeks pp, and my pelvic floor is so tense, and it's awful.
last night i had a VERY weird dream, it was so realistic, and different from others, he handed me his phone, and ask me to help him handle this girl, like annoyed? in the chat this girl was super obsessive, and messaged him a lot before he replied. she asked him to sing a song to her, and he sent her a voice message singing it, and other voice messages i couldn't listen in the dream. i wrote her to stop, and she was angry, telling me he started it. then i confronted him about this (still in the dream) and he changed his attitude, he seemed so guilty and said to me he had deleted some messages. i don't remember much else, but i woke up with the URGE of checking his insta messages. we've been together for 5 years, and I've never checked his phone, and neither has he (that i know if, at least) and contained myself, but I'm still very much concerned about it. it felt like an epiphany, a revelation or smth like that. I know people might think I'm overreacting but i can't get it out of my head, it was so specific.
i though about asking him to show me, but i know he'll be bothered that i don't trust him (i would be too in his place), but if he's cheating he would say that to make me feel bad. also i thought about checking his phone in his sleep, and then ask him to see his reaction, but feel so bad, i wouldn't like if he went through my phone without asking, even tho I have nothing to hide.
please, be kind!!
