Baby formula ounces

Hello, my baby is at 4 oz every 3 hrs. Today I noticed he might want 4.5 oz soon since he’s starting to get hungry sooner.
How many ounces is everybody else’s baby at? I’m just curious to know if they are all at about the same amount?

My daughter was taking 6oz every 3-4 hours by 6 weeks old and held steady on that all the way up to her first birthday!

oh wow Lol. Even after starting to eat food? I was under they impression they drink less formula once they start eating. (I’m a first time mom).

Yep even after she started eating solids! To me she was on the low end for formula compared to her older brother! My eldest was drinking 8-9oz bottles even after starting solids.

oh okay thanks!
That sounds expensive! Lol.

It was 😅 luckily they were 3 yrs apart so I had a little break in between buying formula haha

My girl is 12 weeks and drinks between 3-5 every 2.5 hours during the day

I have twins. Twin A takes 4oz and twin b takes 6oz.

4-5 12 weeks

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.

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.

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
