Is there a way to dry this doll so that mold doesn't grow on the inside or no?

My kids put the baby in the pool

Try to ring as much water as you can out & leave it out in the sun. Sunlight helps kill bacteria & mold

You have to air dry the dolls completely and check for any mold spots or musty odors. If you notice any, spot clean the affected areas with a solution of 1 part vinegar to 4 parts water, then rinse and dry the dolls again thoroughly.

I squished it a little bit but we were really busy so I didn't get to too much and then I put it in the sun

When I get back I'll ring it more. I'm hoping it ends up being fine cause it's her favorite one

Thank you

Direct sunlight for a few days, preferably on something to elevate it so that air can circulate around it. Like a cookie cooling rack or clean BBQ grill propped up on bricks or stones or whatever so it's not touching a solid surface.

thank you. I'll try and find something like that

I would stand there for 10mins and blowdry using the hairdryer on med heat to dry that.

What said above, you can also use a hair dryer.

I’d say just hang it to dry. I’m assuming it’s stuffed with polyfil which dries very quickly. You could also use a hair dryer. With my daughter’s wool toys I squeeze the water out and then hang them to dry

If the water was dirty I’d put it through the wash on delicate prior to drying thoroughly in the sun

I hung it up last night and I'm gonna check on her when we get home

I don't know what the doll is made of or if the limbs come off lol

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!

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.

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.

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.
