Is letting gentle wind blow on your baby's face in the car bad for baby?

Someone on here told me this is bad and to "do research," but the internet says nothing relevant.

Blowing on a younger baby's face makes them hold their breath and close their eyes a lot of the time. I guess it can happen in the car with the wind, but I've always had my front windows down and just left the back windows up. Too much wind can also cause earaches. It's more don't go faster speeds with the windows down

Depends on the weather, and day time. If it’s cold outside obviously is bad. However I would think the cold wind in the head would give them a headache. (That’s my personal feeling)

Never heard of this so following

Some people say it causes colic

Are you referring to aircon or having the windows down? I’m curious how wind would be on their face if they were in a rear facing car seat? (Unless you have a baby fan?.. which I wouldn’t point at their face?)

I do it all the time. In fact, I read that having a fan on in your room reduces the risk of sids. I don't see any difference between gentle wind blowing and a fan. I've been doing both this since my baby girl was a newborn.
Edit: I leave my car windows slightly open

Having the windows down in the car. Agreed. With a rear-facing car seat the wind isn't blowing directly on the baby's face, but it does swirl around in the back seat.

I have a mini fan I attach to the car seat so he doesn’t get too hot in the back seat of my car. It’s wireless I’d say I vest in one if you can! Just needs to be charged every once in a while!

I’m sure the breeze is fine - it would be the other things I’d be worrying about - pollution, pollen, car fumes, dust etc. but I’m sure commonsense would prevail in those situations ☺️

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. 🩵

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?

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.
