Bottle aversion

Help! LO isn’t taking a bottle - 8 weeks old and only just started expressing for a bottle. We have tried Tommy tippy & MAM bottles which he doesn’t latch too but will drink some but not a full feed so I still need to breast feed. He took one full bottle on his first one but since then nothing?
Any advice please? X

I found that my little girl won’t take a bottle from me 🙈 but will take it with others which I know isn’t helpful. I have just purchased the lansinoh bottles and tests as I have heard really good things, so I am going to give these a go to see if they make a difference!

Try a triangle teat bottle (nuk perfect match/lansinoh) as it allows for the same latch style as when on the breast and then give it exactly as if you were offering the nipple, above top lip and let them naturally latch xx

We use the Lansinoh bottles with triangle teat and our little girl has never struggled to go between the 2 x

Following as my LO is nearly 11 weeks and will not take a bottle at all 😭

My little boy is also breastfeed and refused all bottles accept the lansinoh ones. He’s taken to them like a pro. x

Try a nuk or lansinoh teat they fit on mam bottles x

I use the lansinoh teat on the mam bottles as I found lansinoh teat+bottle gave him really bad colic

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.

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?
