Anyone got any good sling or carrier recs! I never used one with our first, but wanting to try for some hands free with a 3 year old.

We used Ergobaby Embrace for when baby was smaller and Ergobaby Omni 360 when he got bigger. Both worked very well, will re-use them this time around too, mu first will be almost 3 by the time the baby comes too

Hi, we've just been to the baby show today and got this one https://mamaruga.com/our-products/carrier/zensling/
I tried it on and it was the nicest.amd easiest one we tried. Can't wait to try it when baby comes.

I went to the baby show on Friday and picked up the Carifit carrier. I’m quite active so hoping this will keep me moving once he’s here!

Used the baby bjorn one everyday the one air I think it’s called. Was amazing! This time I will also buy a soft one for at home as this was a little big for newborn x

Thank you everyone x

I’ve always used Tula or lenny lamb. Find they fit well, patterns I love. Expensive but I do find they keep their value as well

Look up a sling library in your area they let you hire them to see what works for you and your little one.

Artipoppe 100% I have 2 of them and have my eyes on a third haha they’re so pretty and so comfy! Xx

I got one too at the baby show! They are so comfy and so easy to get on and off one handed. By far the best and comfiest I have tried. They are designed by a lady who was a sling librarian so she has taken the best bits and combined them into one all singing all dancing carrier. Can’t wait to get my little one in it for some adventures 🫶

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.

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

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.
