Has anyone started using a hairdryer on their baby yet?

I’m not sure whether to or not, he’s got quite long hair and we bath him every night. I usually dry it with a towel but it’s not very effective and he goes to bed with slightly damp ish hair. He doesn’t seem bothered by it but I think drying it would be better. I also want him to get used to a hair dryer. Is it way too early to use one?

Could you use it on the low setting and not hot? I've not needed to do this yet, but I understand baby shouldn't go to bed with wet hair

Yes we’ve been using the lowest setting for a few months now as her hair is really long! Only takes about 2-3 mins, I alternate with the cool

I have for a couple months now, my LO loves it, he starts jumping up and down. We’ve been using it since 6/7 months. Not too hot, not too windy x

As above, we have been using it for a while now on both a low heat and low power setting 😊

Yes! We do.. 🩷✨ no issues.. Xxx

Ok great thanks all! I’ll give it a go ☺️

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.

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

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 🙂

Pumping advise

FTM to a 2 week old! I’m breastfeeding and then giving one formula bottle last in the evening before bed. I want to start expressing milk to give me some breathing room and also allow my partner to be more involved in feeding. I’m finding the idea of introducing pumping into my day quite overwhelming though. I don’t want to take milk away from my baby by pumping if he needs it during the day when being breastfeed.

Can anyone advise how I start pumping and when to do it? Thank you!

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.
