How do y’all deal with fussy babies in the car?

My first never had any issues being in the car but my second.. this dude starts wailing right after we close the door. Is there anything that helps?

Honestly the only thing that keeps my baby happy in the car is an empty water bottle with no lid on it and baby music 😂 he HATES the car seat.

Or a bag of unopened chips lol

My baby girl love sea shanties when she is crying 😂

Empty water bottle! She laughs and smiles at it all day long 🤣

I give my baby boy a blanket, his paci, and then cross my fingers. 😅

i throw a boob in there and then he seems pretty content , we got a toy that lights up and has a mirror and once he’s fed he’s pretty happy , the car seats are the worst !!

Pay attention to what they like and make a playlist. I had to listen to Starships by Nicki Minaj 3 times in a row this weekend 😅

yes, that’s the only thing that helps. Sometimes I’m rolling it down then up, cause it distracts him

Would it bother you? Hubby never finishes.

So my husband doesn't finish. Not for birth control but he just doesn't finish, he says he can go a really long time before actually finishing. He can finish as we have a child together.

It's never bothered me enough to cause serious problems in our relationship. Sometimes I wonder if I'm good enough in bed? He says he just gets tired. I've only ever been with two guys, my ex and hubby and my ex never had an issue with it. Hubby says he likes it and we have a healthy sex life as in we have sex regularly.

Just wondered if it would bother you or am I overthinking it?

Why isn’t a dishwasher okay to wash baby bottles ?

Just wondering please no judgment when my kids were babies I just washed them in the dishwasher.

Anyone know when the newborn insert can be removed from this seat? The booklet is absolutely useless.

Seat previously used for my son but he was over one when it was purchased so newborn insert was never used.

No kissing

Those of you who didn't let anyone kiss your babies, when did you start to let them?

I've had a no kissing rule since my LG was born, which was fine at the start but there have been a few incidents lately where her grandparents have kissed her where we have had to say something. One of these incidents she ended up in hospital with bronchiolitis and the other grandparent suffers from cold sores so I'm uncomfortable with her ever kissing my LG if I'm honest.

I just want to protect her but my partner thinks there needs to be a cut off point where we say it's ok.

Can’t hold a conversation with my 2.5 year old

He only started really speaking a few months ago and while I know he knows a lot of things, follows instructions so well, I still can’t have a conversation with him.

At most I’ll get a couple words stung together and almost always they are just words I have said and he is repeating them back.

I try to ask him about his day or what we just did and he’ll just repeat it back. He even does it with strangers when they have said hi guys, he’ll repeat it back to them or say hi followed his own name and he’ll do this with us too.

I really thought once he started speaking that we can finally talk, but it’s just him repeating and not really responding

What time do you put your baby to bed?

My baby is 6 months and her bedtime is 5:30-6pm whenever I look online it says this is too early but she gets so tired and cranky and wakes up early if it’s any later. Would love know what time is everyone else’s bedtime?
