Baby Scared of the Blender!

First of all, Happy Mother’s Day you absolute super heroes. I hope you’re enjoying your day with your little one💖

My baby is petrified of the blender. He is so chill usually but it’s got to the point as soon as he sees the blender come out of the cupboard, he starts to scream. I let him know i need to use the blender, show him what I’m blending and only use the blender for about 20secs. I’m a but stuck on how to make him not scared of the blender.

Anyone else experiencing something similar or have done in the past?

Yep, exactly the same. No idea how to get him used to it without traumatising him.

I started by playing with it, and made noises like 'vroom vroom' and started/stopped. Never really had any crying after this.

I personally wouldn’t use my blender and tend to wait until she’s in her playpen or out of the room. They can be really really loud for little ears! x

I’ll give this a go x

I hear what you’re saying but I’d rather try and get him comfortable with it. I’ll try using it when he’s in a different room so he can still hear it but won’t be as loud and not so scary for him xx

I could never ignore his reaction, it’s so upsetting for him. I’ll keep using it as much as I do because it’s hardly ever but will make sure he’s in a different room next time or something x

It’s so sad isn’t it, I hope you’re LO starts to get more comfortable with the sound soon xx

When did you circumcise your baby?
If you DID NOT or DO NOT have a circumcised son DO NOT comment this post is not for you!

Did you wait a certain amount of time or have it done immediately?
Again respectfully, this is only for the parents who choose to do so.
opinions about how not necessary it is will not be appropriate for this post. Thank you in advance. 🩵

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?

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 🙂

Postpartum

I’m only 3 days postpartum (FTM) and already have extremely bad anxiety. I’m crying every night, as I think of another night of no sleep. My baby will not settle in his cot, he cries every moment we put him down unless in his chair rocker. So me and my partner are having to alternate after 3/4 hours of being awake with him downstairs. I’m trying everything to get him to settle. It’s a load of overwhelming stress. I’m 23, I was desperate for a baby and now I have one and feel completely useless. I miss it just being me and my partner.

I feel like just a milk cow

Hi I have a 16 day old via c section, I'm a FTM never having been around babies before as I am the youngest of my household and from a small family. My husband is fantastic with our little one. But ever since I've had the baby I just feel like the only thing I'm good for is producing milk. I feel disconnected from my husband like the only reason he's around is because am producing milk. We were having some issues before the baby and we're struggling it took a while to feel like he was onboard even though he said he was from the moment we found out. I dunno if I'm feeling like a spear part because I'm lacking confidence with baby or because I feel like he wouldn't mind being a single dad. Is this postpartum hormones or something else?

How long did it take for your child’s circumcision to heal and you could give him a bath?

I’ve just been wiping him down with a fiber wash cloth but I just wanted to know from others experience on how long it took
