Postpartum Underwear reqs

Hi all,
Can you please recommend the best postpartum diaper situation for mom to be? FTM and no idea what I’m doing 😂

I know a lot of people swear by the Frida brand or depends, but i actually preferred the always flexfoam pads and my own (granny) underwear. It made me feel more like myself and less like I was wearing a diaper.

So I did the Frida momma ones for loke a week. But as soon as I ran out I did Always flexfoam pads and my pregnancy undies I'd gotten that didn't go up high. Way more comfortable

I just bought post partum diapers from Amazon. Lol. And once the bleeding died down a bit I switched to a pad inside high waist undies.

Just get one pack of adult diapers in your size from the grocery store. You don't need bed pads or anything crazy. If you get home and need something else, get them after you know already know what you need. 🙂

Depends!!! And then once the bleeding went down I went to always flexform pads in my underwear

I have had three kids and have never used diapers/disposable underwear. I bought lil-lets maternity pads and my normal comfortable underwear. Never had issues, so it's totally up to you tbh. Whatever you feel most comfortable in.

I mostly wore period underwear and regular pads with underwear. I would wait to see how much bleeding you have. I had to have a C-section so maybe it wasn't as bad.

The Amazon brand ones were great for me, then I moved on to period pants - which I already own.

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 🙂

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

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.
