Travelling

Has anyone got to Mexico with a 4-5 month old? We are staying at an all inclusive.

Specifically inquiring about how to sterilize bottles? Recommendations?

Any tips/tricks that you swear by when traveling?

Thanks! 🩵

Hey we are traveling with our 5 month old to an all inclusive in a week. There are tablets that you can use with cold water to sterlize the bottles. https://a.co/d/0eF6mcvu Or call ahead and see if your resort would bring you a microwave to use with the sterlizing bags https://a.co/d/02dWlNiM

I also bought suction toys to stick to the window for him to play. Ear protection for noise, stroller and carseat gate cover so they wont get dirty.

Oh boy. Be very careful with the water. Use only bottled water to wash bottles and mix into formula. We just came back and if a baby had gotten what we had... That would have been awful.

When my husband and I traveled to the Bahamas with our 8 month year old we bought a winglet! It's like a little personal seat for the baby and you can nurse with them in it! It also has attachments for toys. It's a little pricey but it is sooo helpful and can be used when they get older! Another travel hack we used was using a "busy board". They have them on Amazon and they are amazing! Still using both today and she is a year old! They also sell little bottle cleaner packs on amazon! You can pack your own dish soap and everything!

We went to Mexico a few weeks ago, when our baby was 11 weeks. We were at a resort and we got a room with a kitchenette and I brought our silicone sterilizer bag for the microwave to use for bottles. The resort was super helpful and had a ton of complimentary baby things for us to use while we were there -- pack n play, crib, bottle washer kit, changing table, baby bathtub, and diaper genie. They also gave us a high chair that we didn't ask for and couldn't use yet of course 😆 Just talk to the concierge. I'm sure they have more than you realize and not the first person to ask them these questions.

From breast to bottle

Hello, has anyone had issues trying to get their breast fed baby to take a bottle? I went back to work and my 10wk old has been refusing the bottle for my partner. Any suggestions?

Next to me crib

My baby is 13 weeks and I am having trouble putting him in his next to me. He hates how wide the crib is and never settles unless I use the najell sleep carrier. We were using love to dream swaddles but he started to roll and self sooth with his hands now so just changed to armless sleeping bag. Does anyone have any tips to try and get him in his next to me crib so he has more space and it makes it safer.

Poop Question

Sorry if this is tmi, but out of nowhere around 5 weeks my baby’s poop suddenly has mucus-y strings throughout and it isn’t getting better or worse just still there a week later. We’re going to the pediatrician tomorrow to have her take a look but I don’t think dairy is the culprit because I am mostly dairy free and he doesn’t have any other symptoms of a dairy allergy. I’m wondering if anyone has noticed that their letdown caused this? I have a really strong really fast letdown and I’m an oversupplier and think that could be what’s causing the issue?

Opinions

Does anyone else feel less attracted or wanting to have less sex because of how useless they are as a partner/person/dad. Like the longer we’re together the more things piss me off about him and his actions.

From cosleeping to cot 13month old

Send help. I’m trying to get my EBF 13 month old to sleep in his cot, at least the first half of the night to start with.

If I transfer him and he doesn’t wake up it’s usually ok. But if he wakes up, he screams - like there’s no tomorrow! It’s so overwhelming. I end up just putting him back in the big bed with me if it’s too much.

Anyone in a similar position with any advice??

Since vaccines are a topic today. You do realize u wouldn’t know if your child is in a class with unvaccinated kids right?!

These post are so funny to me because how we feel about vaccines and our kids being around unvaccinated vs vaccinated kids, doesn’t matter because schools aren’t going to disclose medical records for parents to even know what’s going on. We all want to protect our kids but if they are in school there’s no knowing who they are around…
