Looking to Connect with Parents About Vaccines

Hello everyone! If any of you haven't vaccinated your child, or have vaccinated but not fully, and know a lot about it, I would love to talk and discuss. I’ve been reading a lot about vaccines lately and would prefer not to do everything on the list. Please reach out!

I have vaccinated both my girls fully minus he Covid vaccine. However, I have a family member who did not vaccinate her son. He’s now 6 and healthy. I have a friend who partially vaccinated her son. He is currently 2 and does not have all the vaccines from the 1yr old checkup they give like 4 of them at once. So he received all of them before 1 yrs old. Ultimately it’s your choice.

My baby did not and will not receive any vaccines during her first year. Husband and I have done TONS of research and reading and that’s why we went the route we did. I am not anti-vax per se (I even received the TDaP during pregnancy), but to vaccinate at such a young age poses so many risks. Will we vaccinate her in the future? Who knows? But I’m willing to give more info :)

My first was fully vaxed minus covid until 9 months. He started having an egg sensitivity and a constant strep rash after the strep pneumo vax. So we stopped.

My daughter who is 1yo has had no vaccines. We even opted for oral vit k that we bought and brought to the hospital.

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

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.
