Whinging

Any other babies around 14/15 months whinging constantly? My little girl is constantly whinging throughout the day, even if she’s playing she’ll just randomly whinge and she gets frustrated so easily - like with her dolls pram, if it doesn’t move exactly in the way she wants it she gets very frustrated. Also if I go into the kitchen which is open plan so she can still see me but as soon as I close the stair gate she’s there whinging for me to pick her up. I’ve even moved the living room around so her play area is as close to the kitchen as possible so she’s able to play whilst watching me but she doesn’t she’ll just stand at the gate whinging until I’ve picked her up. Is this a phase or could it just be part of her personality? I’ve started explaining what I’m doing such as ‘mummy’s making you dinner so I can’t pick you up’ etc. it’s hard if it is a phase because even if it is, whilst you’re in it it feels like it’s going to last forever 😅 I’m also not sure if it’s because she’s in nursery 3 days a week, the days I’m at home with her she just wants to be with me the whole time which is lovely but it also means i can’t get anything done! Does anyone have any tips if you have been through the same? Such as once you’ve exhausted everything else like explaining etc do you just ignore it? She’s not crying because there are no tears!

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 🙂

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.

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.
