That's not normal but in that case I would separate them so I could pretreat his clothes to release any trapped odor

use oxi clean for odors specifically.

My partners armpits don’t even smell when I put them INTO the wash. I 100% would not wash them together if I were you! Sounds like he needs to see a Dr asap and maybe soak his clothing. You can buy protective covers that go on the armpit part of the shirt to protect it from sweat too.

I never wash my clothes with my partners.

I infact do loads of laundry per individual in the home so that folding isn’t such a huge task for me.

I do towels, sheets and blankets all together in a load, but clothes I do separate loads per individual.

No I wash my clothes separately because I’m the one who usually smells. I use oxiclean, detergent, Clorox 2 and a laundry sanitizer plus the smelly scent beads.

I just brought it up to my husband I think he got offended 😔 I didn't say it mean.. I understand he sleeps in a truck so I'm not trying to judge him

I know what you mean! Mine's clothes smell fine once they're cleaned but beforehand they STANK because he tends to sweat a good bit running around all day at work. So I've stopped washing them with at least the kids' clothes. Don't want that stank on my babies' stuff!

No only coz he wears alot of darks, my clothes have a lot of white tops white jeans light blue jeans etc and our loads each take up a whole machine so not for the reasons you stated but we don’t. He has his load I have mine. Loads that have alot of smell/stain like the cloth diapers and the tea towels I add a scoop of stain remover powder/booster as well as detergent so try that.

My husband’s stuff only smells if he goes for swims and the clothes were sitting in his bag for a bit. Other than that, even if he sweats it's not offensive stink, just musky. I wash all of our clothes together, even our toddlers. We all use hypoallergenic detergent cause she has sensitive skin and she rubs up on us and everything so everything's done with her in mind. All of our laundry is fresh after a wash and it's unscented. Also I use white vinegar in every load too!

Oh also a general handy tip about odors in laundry! Splash distilled white vinegar over the load you put in before you run it at all!!

Oral dysfunction ?

FTM and I wondered whether I need to speak to a doctor etc
My little boy is 9 weeks old and we had latch issues initially with breastfeeding and was referred for tongue tie which he doesn’t have.
He struggles to keep a dummy in his mouth all the time.
He mouth breathes a lot.
We combi feed, and sometimes he struggles with his bottle, we have upped his teat size as he was taking for ever with no1 teats and falling asleep, now he sometimes struggles with breathing and drinking and the muslin we use gets pretty wet as it’s coming out of the side of his mouth.
And his lips look like he has the rippling (forgot the name of it)
When I’ve googled oral dysfunction some of these things indicate this but also I don’t know if this is pretty normal.

Photo below- after falling asleep breast feeding, apparently the tongue needs to be on the roof of his mouth.

Which sometimes he does but not all the time. Is this something I need to keep an eye on/ speak to a doctor ?

Feeling detached / numb about my pregnancy

Good morning everyone, I’m a first time mom to be, due Jan 29th. I’ll be 13 weeks tomorrow. I just had my second sonogram beginning of my second trimester. I’ve been feeling very depressed and kind of detached from my womb/baby. I’m not sure if it’s because of resent the father or myself for how things turned out the way it did before the baby is even born. I already made a choice not abort. But I’m struggling to be happy about this. I don’t know how to be. My family and friends are all excited and gleaning with joy but there’s no excitement in me. Inside I want to scream. I feel numb. And in a way I feel love bombed and cheated out of a happy pregnancy. I’m very upset with myself because I feel like my baby will grow up without a father because I have to protect my peace. I found out I’m the “other” woman, I’m basically a secret. So I feel like my pregnancy is based on lies instead of real love. And it’s killing me to pretend I’m happy when I’m truly not. I know the baby can feel everything I feel. I don’t know what to do, where to go or who to talk to. Church is very judgemental I wouldn’t dare say what I’m truly going through, and family can be very hypocritical and overprotective given the circumstances. All I know is I’m not bringing this baby into a two parent home like I thought I would. And I honestly just feel like another statistic. I’m adding to the generational curse instead of breaking it.

Weaning off of breast to only bottle

i'm so lost on what to do. My baby is nine weeks old and I'm trying to wean off of breast-feeding and only do bottle feeding milk. He keeps refusing bottles. I tried the Dr. Brown ones. I'm gonna try the pigeon ones next if anyone has any tips on how to just wean off of breast and only get bottles please let me know I'm struggling.

Cradle cap

What are mamas using for cradle cap?

Going abroad with baby for first time

Planning a much needed trip to Greece, and I’m wondering what to do about a car seat. We will be renting a car and I’ve seen that you ca rent a car seat but it’s sometimes a bit hit and miss on the condition and availability. So on that basis do we take our own? How does it work taking it on the plane? And what happens if it gets lost?!
Thank you!

Nursery start at 13.5 mo

Hi! I have a breastfed baby boy who’s due to start nursery mid Aug - initially for a couple of hours, hopefully progressing to 6-7h 3x per week by mid Sep. He’s nursing to sleep - almost impossible to put him down for a nap (still on two naps) without a breast unless it’s a car. He eats solids better for the last 4-5 weeks and I’m trying to reduce daytime nursing but it’s not easy, when he wants it he wants it ;)
I don’t want to stop breastfeeding yet, possibly not until he’s 2 but I’m worried about nursery! They say babies adapt but has anyone experience similar and can share? Do I just start the adaptation without making any changes at home and let him adjust over the weeks when he’s there?
