Front facing car seat- how to see my kid?

Ive just started putting the car seat to face forward for car journeys. She was always rear facing and I had one of those mirrors attached to the rear seat head rest so I could glance in my rear view mirror and see her. Now that she faces forward, I cant see her face unless I turn my head, which if im driving I cant do safely. Any tips on how I can now see my baby while driving?

Small children mirrors are sold to put near your rear window xx

Please turn your child back around. Forward facing a near 2 year old is not safe whatsoever… plenty of seats that rear face until at least 4… please keep your child as safe as possible, forward facing shouldn’t be an option at this age. X

Tilt your front mirror slightly so you can still see out your rear window and your little one.

oh ok really?

Yes!! Please add yourself into the group ‘bump to booster’ on Facebook. They’re super helpful with car seat safety, sadly although it is legal to Forward face this young it’s absolutely not safe for them! X

Ok thank you I'll give the group a look

I tried to tilt it, but maybe due to my height, but I cant see both comfortably 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!

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 🙂

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.

Pumping advise

FTM to a 2 week old! I’m breastfeeding and then giving one formula bottle last in the evening before bed. I want to start expressing milk to give me some breathing room and also allow my partner to be more involved in feeding. I’m finding the idea of introducing pumping into my day quite overwhelming though. I don’t want to take milk away from my baby by pumping if he needs it during the day when being breastfeed.

Can anyone advise how I start pumping and when to do it? Thank you!
