Silver cross Isofix car seat

Hey girlies, I’ve just installed the isofix & car seat and it feels really wobbly. But everything is showing that it’s secure in terms of the clicks going green. Does anyone else’s do the same thing?

A certain amount of wobble is normal, so it’s absorbs any impact. Once a baby is in there the weight will mean it wobbles less too. Is this seat meant to have the seatbelt round too?

That does look very wobbly. I would contact the manufacturer to ask. Or read the manual again

You can pop down to Halfords near you and they should be able to check it’s installed correctly but just remember your baby isn’t in it just yet to weight it down and also the wobble helps to absorb a bit of the impact if you were to have an accident like a seatbelt does x

You should check wobble from the base, not the top. Also, please do not go to Halfords for them to check it - they are NOT trained in car seat safety

You should be checking for a secure fit at the belt path, not at the handle. It is normal for there to be wobble at a spot not connected to anything. Make sure the seat is properly connected to the base and you should be good

Push the base back further into the seat or try pushing it down harder it should help a bit x

Pop a big squash in there and do the wobble from the actual seat and if it’s still quite wobbly maybe take a look to the manufacturer x

Please do not go to halford they know nothing about Carseat saftey ! I’d go back to your retailer for a fit check or post in car seat saftey group uk as this looks very wobbly

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 🙂

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.
