I need to know too haha

Literally they just got sent to me. I donated them. I'm assuming it's through doctor's office or something. I even got a 3rd for no reason. I didn't have a baby and my baby was almost a year old.

formula companies will just send them to you. i think your doctor’s office shares info of expecting mother’s and the company’s just send them out. it actually kind of freaked me out because i knew i would be EBF and told my doctor the same. but good to have just in case.

Yeah idk where mine came from either. I thought a coworker signed me up but that makes sense that they'd get it from a Dr office 😅 you could go onto the website tho for whichever brand or all of them and sign up/make an account and they send samples and coupons 😄👍🏽

This is a good question lol because they keep getting shipped to my house, I had my first son and then they stopped. Then when I found out I was pregnant with my second they literally just randomly started showing up so I honestly don’t even know where they’re coming from

I signed up with my 2nd baby in 2020 and got boxes I signed up again for my April baby and got nothing although I did call similac and they asked which one I wanted to try and sent me a single small can

Mine also just arrived. I figured it was from some registry site or something that has a database of pregnant mommas

Is there something wrong with me?

No one ever replies to me. Comments or messages. I’ve reached out a lot and not a single person has ever wrote me back. Is it the way I look? What’s so terrible about me

Am I in the wrong!!

My husband and I were about to have X. He had been scrolling through Xual content on Twitter, which made him horny, and then he wanted to penetrate me straight away.

There was hardly any cuddling, touching or foreplay, so I wasn’t aroused or wet enough. I asked him to wait so I could get some lubricant because I didn’t want penetration to hurt.

He immediately became angry, got dressed without saying much and told me, “Not even a hoe has ever done that.” As he was putting on his clothes, he also said, “Don’t worry, I have plenty of ways to sort myself out.” I’m not sure whether he meant watching sexual content, finding someone else or simply taking care of himself, but it felt like a threat intended to make me feel guilty.

This isn’t the first time this has happened. He often wants to penetrate me without cuddling, touching me or taking time to get me aroused first. When I try to have a conversation about it, he turns things around and blames me.

I give him most of what he wants sexually, but I don’t feel like I receive much pleasure, affection or effort in return. I understand that intimacy shouldn’t be transactional, but I also want my comfort and pleasure to matter. Sometimes I find myself craving affection and intimacy that I’m not receiving, even though my husband is right beside me.

I wasn’t rejecting him. I simply wasn’t physically ready for penetration and wanted to use lube so it would be comfortable.

AITAH for asking him to wait while I got lubricant? What do you think he meant by saying that he has other ways to sort himself out, and was his reaction reasonable?

PLS

I need a Stage 5 Clinger best friend. 🤠

Text me about your day. Spam me with memes. Tell me the random thought you had at 2:17 PM. Call me for no reason. Let's bully each other (lovingly), overshare, and have actual conversations instead of sending "lol" every 8 hours.

Where are y'all hiding? 😂

hey friend!

Honestly just looking for a best friend 🫶 I’ve been having such a hard time making friends lately, and I just want someone I can talk to about literally anything, send random updates to, laugh with, and actually keep in touch with. Even if we’re long distance, I don’t care 😭 No forcing it, just a genuine friendship that’s consistent.

Vitamins for 11 month old

Is anyone able to advise on some reputable vitamins I can give my almost 12 month old baby?

She has under 500ml of formula a day now, so I need to provide her with vitamins but I can't see much online about which ones are recommended?

Any suggestions would be great!

Looking for friends
