iCandy Cocoon car seat with newborn insert

Was wondering if anyone knows about the newborn insert and when you should remove this or if anyone knows the weight restrictions for it. Tried looking online for manual but isn’t very clear. My baby is 6 weeks old so I know i won’t be able to remove it just yet. Only he is a big chunky boy and just looks so squished in there..

I did remove mine quite early… you could try it without and see the fit

Not this car seat - but the one I have the newborn insert is based on babies height in the manual. So two years ago my little girl was 4 1/2 months when that height, my little boy is only a cm off at 6 weeks 🤷🏼‍♀️ so definitely worth a check

I think it said to remove it once they were 58cm from what I remember but it was on the back of the insert.
I had to take it out to see the guide

Thank you!!

Ideally it’s supposed to be left in for as long as possible and on average is removed 4-6 months. It’s not just for their heads it’s for their leg and side muscles too. They may look snug but if he was uncomfortable he’d be complaining, snug is safe. There should be weight/length restrictions in a manual or something to confirm xx

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!

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.

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.

Naps

How is everyone doing for naps?

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.
