Are they worth it? Anyone got one or planning on getting one for Christmas?

Accidently clicked no
We decided to go for a smart smartrike instead personally
As for apart from the folding the price is a bit steep personally
Plus I got my girls on a sale deal

I was thinking about getting one but changed my mind. I was looking at trikes on fb marketplace. A lot said ‘hardly used condition’ and my hubby said it’s a lot of money for another ‘pram’ 🤷‍♀️ x

We absolutely love ours and I’ve never regretted buying it. I’ll caveat that with the fact that around 7 months our baby started hating going in the pram & being strapped in. In the Doona he holds the handlebars & thinks he’s riding the trike. 9/10 he loves going in the trike and is miles happier in it.

Pros:
- so easy to fold, takes up minimal boot space
- fantastic for the airport (can be taken on the plane & put in overhead)
- newest doona has cup holder for toddler
- personally, I think the doona looks smarter than other trikes on the market
- eventually converts to a bike as he grows

Cons:
- not good on terrain other than relatively flat surfaces ie. pavements, shops etc (kerbs can be tricky as it’s light & low down)
- very expensive brand new in comparison to similar brands (definitely get it second hand!!)
- sunshade is super flimsy and always seems to be broken on second hand listings

We went for the Globber for his first birthday 2 weeks ago and have only used it once so far.
It’s a pain to fold and to get him in whilst wearing bulky coat etc, but I think it will be better when the weather is nicer!

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.
