Up every hour at night

I’ve reached the end of my rope with the constant wakings. Hubby has started helping more which I’m thankful for but it’s been going on so long that I’m just awake all night any ways.

Are your 7.5 month olds struggling in absolutely every way at night right now?

Yup! I get woken up to cries of pain a lot so I'm assuming it's teething pains and wanting mommy snuggles to feel better.

I have no advice but I'm right there with you 💜

Right with you on this mama, going through the same thing and feels like i’m just about surviving sometimes 😅 🫠

Is she overtired? Are you following wake windows and sleep schedule? Is she eating well and not hungry at night?

I think overtired is an issue, however he usually gets enough naps in during the day. Maybe an earlier bedtime would help. I tried wake windows using huckleberry for a few weeks but it was not working, became a power struggle between his will and mine multiple times a day. Eating well during the day, doesn’t seem hungry for most wakings.

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.

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 🙂

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

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.
