Supermarkets

Hi all, so my 3 month old is generally very chilled out, until we go to a supermarket and she hates it, gets really worked up and upset.
My mum and a couple of friends of mentioned to have said it’s an autism trait and to keep my eye on it. Obviously I just want what’s best for her and if she is showing signs of this, help her in the best way possible.
Apart from the supermarket issues she’s meeting all other milestones but just wondering if others have this?

Could be the lighting. It's awful. I hate fluorescent lights, my son was the same, were now both diagnosed with autism 😅 not saying she defo has it. But generally fluorescent lights affect a lot of people with asd! Xx

3 months is far too early to pick up signs for autism. It’s probably just very overstimulating, or unsettling being in a different environment, is she in a pushchair, or on you? Can try baby wearing if that helps for comfort.

Oh my gosh, she’s 3 months. People don’t need to be mentioning ASC at this point. Babies get overwhelmed and overstimulated very easily. As she gets older I’m sure she’ll get more used to situations like that.

Try baby wearing her, she’s 3 months old it could be 28362 things and autism is the bottom of the list x

Try going during her naps so leave before she naps and hopefully she might sleep while you shop

My son is 4 months and was the same I’ve found if I turn the carry cot part of his pushchair into the seat and lower the hood so he can be nosey he now loves it also talking to him and making him laugh on the way round, what also worked is light up Halloween or Xmas toys I’d pick one up off the shelves and put it in front of him he’d be so focused on that he would calm right down then I’d always end up buying it because I didn’t have the heart to take it away from him lol

Wdy think of this for a toddler to learn word construction?

I'm open to anything else to start teaching him to read and write. He's 3!

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 🙂

Do men really enjoy fellatio?

Been together more than 10 years, but it's been a while since he even seemed remotely interested in me getting on my knees, or vice versa so to speak. I think it was once last year. Must be something I am doing wrong 🤔. Generally everything else in that department is great and we have two young kids with no extra support, so it's quite surprising we can't keep our hands off each other but may need to try new things. It's basically 2 positions each time with some foreplay.

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.

Little one is 9 months old and will have 2 half hour naps and one solid 1 hour - 2 hour nap a day

Then settles for night around 9pm. Wakes for a feed around 3:30 then sleeps until 6-7

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.
