Silent reflux

Hey guys so I’m combo feeding my LO he is 3 weeks and he has silent reflux I’m currently using Kendamil infant formula (regular one) but I’ve read to maybe switch that formula to something smoother. Any recommendations ? He isn’t spitting up just a lot of discomfort and gas and trouble when laying flat. I’m thinking of switch to enfamil neuro pro gentle. Any recommendations?

I have used enfamil neuro pro since my LOs birth as a part of combo feeding - she started getting more fussy/ gassy around 3 weeks and what worked best for us was focusing on holding her upright after feeds for at least 10-15 mins.. pausing for burping between and at the end of her feeds and tummy exercises like bicycles etc. I don't have experience with changing formula per se but hope above tactics that worked for us help you!

I also added a slight tilt to her bassinet on one side to help her with gravity - I have the snoo so it comes with the attachment but a DIY hack I've seen others use is putting 2 wide books on one side of the bassinet legs to raise one side a bit and give the baby a slight angle while sleeping to air digestion. Good luck!

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 🙂

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

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.
