Milk 🥛

Hi there, baby boy is now 13 months and still relies on his milk twice, sometimes 3 times a day. However he is really struggling with his bowel movements. He’s bled a few times and has been in pain since starting cows milk.

I was told to put him straight onto cows milk and he does love it! But it’s giving him such a bad tummy. I’m wondering if it’s worth putting him on toddler formula rather than cows milk?

Any help is appreciated x

Hey! My little one was transitioned onto cows milk but was straining a lot when he had to go poo and also changed the colour.
The doctor suggested to go back to formula until we can find an alternative with the dietician’s recommendation. I’ve been using the toddlers milk and he seems to be doing well.
He’s been off his food lately so been giving him more milk n fluids to make sure he’s hydrated.

Could do. Could try goats milk instead too? It's meant to be softer on the stomach.

My LO was breastfeed and then goats milk formula, so I wasn’t sure about giving him cows milk. On the 1 year revision my Health Visitor told me it was ok to transition and him whole Goats milk, and he hasn’t had any problems!
Maybe you could try, it’s softer on the stomach, has more proteins and more calories :)

We were told they don’t actually
Have to have cows milk if they get the calcium from different sources so we have dropped the morning milk and just have cows milk in a bottle in the evening which has helped a little x

he’s heavily reliant on his milk still so taking it from him would cause a lot of upset. I’ve put him back onto formula and he’s like a different baby already x

he’s been back on formula for 4 days since I posted this, 1-2 bottles a day depending. And he’s like a different baby. Would it be okay for me to put him on the next stage formula rather than stage 1? X

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 🙂

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.

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.

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.
