Lidl baby formula

We have a Lidl local to us and decided to opt for Lidl baby formula for when baby arrives on the 11th Dec via c-section, but I’ve only ever managed to get one tub! Every time I’ve been in a checked it’s always out of stock… has anyone else found this? Is it just a particular issue right now or ongoing? Thinking we should opt for a different brand…

I would go for another brand that’s more accessible. I chose cow & gate as it is available in all of my local shops (in the village) and the garage that’s 24h so I could never ever fall short xxx

Could try another supermarkets brand. Their own brands are so much cheaper than the well known brands and a midwife advised they are all the same (as they have to pass standards)....so I'll prob do the same to avoid paying for the marketed branded ones

It’s frustrating! We live on a small UK island (connected by road bridge) but ideally being able to pick up a tin without venturing off would be best! I might look into cow & gate as the price didn’t seem too bad and that is available in our Lidl (and other smaller stores I’ve seen)
Our midwife and NCT also advised us they’re all the same, just different tasting really

Both my children had cow and gate with no issues, one daughter was breastfed then went onto the cow and gate, there’s certain standards they have to meet so I’m sure they’re near enough all the same!

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. 🩵
