Taking baby to hairdresser appointment

What’s everyone’s take on this? My LO is 11 weeks and I’m desperate for a trim, it will be an hour long appointment. My hairdresser has much more availability in the week so I’m tempted to book and take her with me, but don’t know if this is generally accepted or if I should wait to book a weekend appt where I can leave her at home with dad 🤔

If I can take her, what’s best in terms of pram/in arms/car seat etc?

Sorry if stupid questions but it’s all new to me!

Take them with you! If needs feeding feed them. Take some toys/musicals with you x

I’d ask the hairdresser directly as some are ok with it and some aren’t! Also they may want to allow extra time for the appointment if you bring your little one in case you need to feed them or hold them etc. so good to mention it!

I would ask first just to be on the safe side as you don’t want to get turned away because it’s not something they’re ok with and you may get charged for your appointment. I know my hairdresser isn’t a fan of children so I would never but there are plenty that wouldn’t mind. Just best putting it out there x

My hairdresser offered - mine doesn’t like the pram so he sat on my lap and I BF so could do that while she dried my hair x

I’ve started going to a hairdressers that specifically offers appointments on a certain day for mums who need to have babies/children with them. The hairdressers don’t care and the other people getting hair done are in the same boat! I thought it was such a great idea for them to do although I don’t know how tied you are to your hairdresser and how you’d find out if anyone does that wherever you are x

I took my girl with me and she was fast asleep in her car seat (it lies flat)

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.

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.

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 🙂

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.

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?
