Dummy

Hi. My 4 week old hasn’t took to a dummy at all since birth. She will suck it for a few seconds then spit it out. She suffers with reflux and is on medication for it and I’ve been told offering a dummy can help with the reflux but I can’t get her to take it! Any tips?

What brand have you tried

I found the tommee tippee ultra light stay put ones have been quite good for us

Some babies just won't take to a dummy, out lo is 8 weeks old and she hates dummies unless it's on her terms.

Some just don't, mine never did.

I tried normal dummy but couldn't because most dummies are curved and it digs into my sons cheeks etc so I bought flat ones from amazon and he loves it but doesnt suck dummies all the time, he spits it out most of time and only sucks it to fall asleep

My little boy suffers with reflux.
He had a TT when he was born, I didn’t want to use dummy’s before he got here
But just in case I got the ‘Perfect match NUK pacifiers’
Doesn’t mark the face, won’t change the shape of the pallet for their development
They are brilliant
I bought in a whole load of them

Other brands he didn’t take too to big or the shape wasn’t natural. Just ended up spitting them out.

Can’t recommend NUK Perfect match enough -

Help.

Does anyone else’s 1-year-old toddler bang their head repeatedly on walls or anything else every day, self-smack, or sometimes grab your hands or use your knees to bang their own head? He also hand flaps. Could this be linked to autism?

They CAN do both, js.

My husband always makes an effort to involve bubs when playing. 😂🫶🏻 even when he’s trying to steal the controller from him.

Let down during adult time

Tonight during sexy time my husband brought me to orgasm and i had a let down and started leaking everywhere. I’m 5 months pp and we’ve been together ten years, married six and i was still so embarrassed. 😞 My husband was very sweet about it but did not want to finish for himself. Has this ever happened to you!? What did your partner do/say?

Intimacy after becoming first time parents

Our daughter is 2 months old and being intimate has been hard. We are only able to have sex like twice a week cause we're always so busy with the baby. When we finally have time I'm paranoid about the baby being in the other room. We try to make it quick because we're worried she'll wake up. I can't have her in the room with us because I just can't get into it if she's there in her crib or awake. How do you moms deal with this ?

Pretends to be a baby with me only?

Why does my 2.5 year old son pretend he is a baby when I see him? Like he would be crawling to me, wanting me to hold him like a baby etc

3 under 3

I have a 2.8 year old and a 3 week old and wow, I never realised I was going to find it this hard. I did nothing but cry for the first 2 weeks because I felt guilty on my first and missed our little routine together. He’s been absolutely amazing with his little brother. But it’s me finding it hard, struggling to adapt, I forgot how intense the newborn phase is and I obviously love him lots, but please tell me it gets better? And please share your experience with this age gap
