What are people using for babies that are too grown for the baby bouncer seat but too young for a high chair?

My LO is 4 months and no longer wants to lie back in the bouncer but still can’t sit upright stably without support , to sit up in a high chair. I need something portable that I can move around and the baby can be in safely while I cook, clean, shower etc.

So I started using a little chair like this when my little one turned around 4 months, as they were showing signs of wanting to try and sit up, and I was looking for something to support them (safely): https://amzn.eu/d/iOdJtNj

And honestly worked great for us. LO was able to sit safely in there if I needed to cook, etc, as there are straps to secure them. and the toys/music there kept him busy for ages. And since it goes on the floor there was no safety concern. It also doubles as a small high chair when needed (straps to a chair) so when we started weaning we used that at first to let baby try new finger foods or sit comfortably when having puree's etc.

In the first few months we did put a cushion behind baby, so it was soft there and helped support them until they big enough to sit more independently, and that worked well for us

Babybjorn bouncer has 3 height settings, I’d avoid anything that puts them in a forced sitting position if they can’t sit unaided.

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 🙂

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

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.
