Nursery

How is everyone’s baby getting on a nursery if they go?
My little girl goes 8.30-4 on a Thursday and Friday and honestly I’m really struggling, and so is she. This is only her 4th time but she just cries all day and it’s breaking my heart. My first didn’t go to nursery until she was 18 months, so this seems really early for me (she’s 11 months). I don’t really know what to do and when to call it.
If yours struggled at the start did they settle and how long did it take?

My twins are going 9-3.30 Monday & Friday and 9-12.30 Thursday. One has settled like he’s always been there. The other acts like I’m leaving him at the orphanage! They’ve only done 3 full days 2 half days but they’ve said that the one who’s not settled yet had a much better day today!

They’re fully in the depths of the separation anxiety phase at the moment and I only have to move from the floor to the sofa at the moment and they think I’m leaving so we were fully expecting a difficult settling period

Our nursery said it can take 6 weeks for baby to settle at nursery, mine was horrendous at the start but now she enjoys it after 2 weeks of settling sessions and 4 x 8 - 1:30 days x

Thanks guys, think I’m gonna give it another few weeks before I do anything drastic 🥲

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.

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?

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.

When did you circumcise your baby?
If you DID NOT or DO NOT have a circumcised son DO NOT comment this post is not for you!

Did you wait a certain amount of time or have it done immediately?
Again respectfully, this is only for the parents who choose to do so.
opinions about how not necessary it is will not be appropriate for this post. Thank you in advance. 🩵
