How long is your baby sleeping at night🥲

My little guy is 4 months. His naps during the day are usually 35 minutes with one longer one, like 45-1hr. At night he’s been waking every 2-3.5 hours. We have a good bedtime routine that he likes, he’s usually asleep by 8. I tried pushing back to 10 but he woke at 12:30🙃 any tips? I need sleep

My 4 1/2 month old sleeps from 8/8:30pm-8am

We’ve been giving him 6-7oz bottles every 4 hours and puree an hour after every bottle but his night time bottle at 8pm

Same.🥲 do you nurse him to sleep every time?

I try to soothe him with pats/my voice/rocking/pacifier, sometimes it works but a lot of the time he won’t settle unless he eats

This is regression, it will go away in a couple of week. Just make sure baby eats enough during the day so he doesn't get most of calories during the night. I know it's hard but hang in there!

My LO is the same. I nurse to sleep every time but also just did a tongue tie and lip tie revision

Mine is sleeping 8-11 hours

Are you bf or formula feeding? Maybe babe isn't getting enough food during the day. Try mixing puree with cereal. Also of formula feed, try concentrating the bottle before bed. Ex for 4 oz put 3 scoops instead of 2.
My little guy got sick last week and back waking up every 3 hours to feed so I concentrated the 2 bottles before bed and we are back to 1 wake up at night.

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!

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 🙂

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.

Car seat crying

My 6 month old PANICS the second I put him in a car seat and screams, cries, chokes and recently even projectile vomited on a 14 minute drive. It’s gotten to the point I don’t even bring him out unless it’s to a doctors appointment. I’m a stay at home mom with no family in my state and it has been very isolating. We’ve tried 3 different car seats with no improvement. Has anyone had a baby who hated the car seat? Any advice? This started at 3 months. I will add it does seem worse when he’s tired. He does cry on every trip though. He only contact naps and co sleeps so he reaches for me and will not sleep in the car seat.

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.

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?
