Mine will be 4 months on Saturday and eats 4 - 6 oz every 2.5 hours, usually a total of 27-30 oz per day, and has recently completely dropped overnight feeds!

Mine is 3 months and eats 4 oz every 2 hours. No overnight feedings, she sleep through the night.

4 months on Thursday. 4oz every 1hr45-2hrs. 4.5-5ozbefore bed
Sleeps through the night

Mine will be 4 months sept 16 and he is on 6oz every 3 to 4 hours 5 bottles a day no middle of the night feedings

Mine is about to be 4 months in 8 days! she usually drinks 4oz daytime every 2-2.5 hours only two feeds at night now! but usually eats 5oz then goes literally right to sleep!

12 oz when I'm gone for a work day, husband usually gives 2oz at a time because he knows I hate to waste breast milk. Otherwise nurses every 2 hours or so from 5am to 8pm and once at 1am.

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!

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.

Naps

How is everyone doing for naps?

Little one is 9 months old and will have 2 half hour naps and one solid 1 hour - 2 hour nap a day

Then settles for night around 9pm. Wakes for a feed around 3:30 then sleeps until 6-7

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 🙂

Pumping advise

FTM to a 2 week old! I’m breastfeeding and then giving one formula bottle last in the evening before bed. I want to start expressing milk to give me some breathing room and also allow my partner to be more involved in feeding. I’m finding the idea of introducing pumping into my day quite overwhelming though. I don’t want to take milk away from my baby by pumping if he needs it during the day when being breastfeed.

Can anyone advise how I start pumping and when to do it? Thank you!

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.
