Love to dream swaddle

Hi all. So my little boy is still very much a little spud but maybe a week ago or so he did actually roll from his belly to his back (I was so excited) although he’s not done it since and there’s no signs of him rolling from back to front yet. That being said I’ve very aware that once he can roll the swaddle has to go. He needed a new one so the one he’s in now you can unzip and remove the arms. How did you all start transitioning? One arm out? Or did we go cold turkey and just accept some sleepless nights? He sleeps amazing it in but In my head I don’t see the harm in slowly trying to get him used to sleeping with his arms out before he can roll. Any tips and tricks would be greatly appreciated x

We went cold turkey the only issue we had was when our lg was settling for the night she would pull out her dummy but that went for about a week and now she's good x

We did one arm transition for a week or so alternating arms then did both after and he really only had a few wakeups with transition. We tried cold turkey at first but it was miserable

We did one arm at a time, took a couple of weeks for us
Tried cold turkey but he’d slap himself in the face and wake up within about 000.5 seconds of being put down 🙃

We used a silent swaddle, so arms out but silent Velcro across the chest. It helped decrease the startle reflex and was honestly a super easy transition for us. My son hated his arms contained, escaped swaddles that the nurses did in the hospital, so it wasn’t even 4 weeks in that we switched cold turkey and had success.

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. 🩵

Postpartum

I’m only 3 days postpartum (FTM) and already have extremely bad anxiety. I’m crying every night, as I think of another night of no sleep. My baby will not settle in his cot, he cries every moment we put him down unless in his chair rocker. So me and my partner are having to alternate after 3/4 hours of being awake with him downstairs. I’m trying everything to get him to settle. It’s a load of overwhelming stress. I’m 23, I was desperate for a baby and now I have one and feel completely useless. I miss it just being me and my partner.
