Bottle/teat recommendations

Our EBF baby (9weeks) has been struggling with suction when fed pumped milk in a bottle, his tongue clicks he gulps really hard and often coughs while having the bottle, he has none of these problems when breastfeeding. We currently use the NUK bottles with anti colic teats. I've tried pace feeding and feeding upright. Has anyone else had this problem and what bottles have they found the best?

We use the mam bottles and teats, they do a size 0, 0+ and 1 so you can find which suits baby best. We got a set with 2 x bottles and teats on offer in boots (plus people on here said the laniosh teats fit too) x

We found Lansinoh best for our bubba when he decided to be fussy on the bottle. We started him on Mam size 0 teat. He used Mam bottles for a solid 4 months perfectly x

Lansinoh, also I would recommend getting baby checked for tongue tie x

I had the exact same issues. Small nipple, tiny bubba (he was only 4lb 9oz when he was born). But let me tell you, it will get easier. We’re 9 months into our BF journey and my beautiful boy is now 16lb 6oz but doing amazingly! X

I had similar issues and the health visitor said the teat are too big for the baby even though it said for newborn and then I got Philips avant anti colic bottles from eBay and they have been such a good thing and my child still loves it.

I can send you the link if you are interested

We have success with lansinoh!

Lansinoh might be a better shape but I’d recommend someone who can assess oral function

I had Philips avent 0 (that is 1now) and dr brown’s… I preferred Philips

We have been using the lansinoh bottles and been loving them ! Xx

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 🙂

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.

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.
