Najell rise , lot less than artipoppe xxx I love it

Momcozy is what I went for! I had a previous expensive one which I found really dig into my shoulder but these (especially for the price) are so comfy!! Also fab designs too! X

Ergo baby

I just got the Najell rise and it’s amazing. He feels so much lighter than the carrier my friend gave us to try. Someone I follow on Instagram has the artipoppe and the najell and they said the Najell was so much better as the artipoppe is more of a fashion statement than practical/supportive

I’ve been a nanny for a decade, and used the Babybjorn and the Artipoppe. I actually do rate the Artipoppe, my old employers gave me theirs to use for my daughter. I think it’s worth it because it is very comfortable, easy and quick to put on. I think they get a bad rep for being so expensive and leopard print, but they’re actually so comfortable, and that’s worth spending a bit more for something you will use so often! Plus they hold their value when you want to resell.

Baby bjorn definitely but go on vinted or Facebook marketplace! There are usually loads

I love our baby Björn mini ! also have the ergobaby embrace . I always reach for the baby Björn. So easy to put on and comfy for me and baby

I’ve tried out quite a few, and I’ve found that I love the cheapest one I bought the most, which is an infantino 3d mesh baby carrier, because it’s so simple and easy, but I also like to use my ergo baby omni 360 because of the built in sun shade and the little pocket to put things in.

If you are looking for similar style as artipoppe and nice patterns I got mine from ‘mabē’. I love it

I’ve got an antipoppe and i questioned if it was worth it for so long and yes i high recommend!! I tried the baby bjorn but my back was killing me in under a mile walk.

I also have a referral code if you want to£50 off

I’ve been using an Artipoppe for 11 months now and my daughter loves it so much I’ve just purchased the toddler one and have a fresh Artipoppe referral code that saves you £44 / 50 euros:

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.

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

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 🙂

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!

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.
