Daytime sleep

How long should I let my 2 month old sleep in the day? She’s gone for about 6 hours now…
This isn’t normal for her, she seems fine, her temperature is good

Around 5-6 hours spread out of daytime sleep.
I never go over 3 hours in an nap.

6hrs in a row or all together? All together I don't time I just let him sleep and wake as he likes but he usually feeds every 2hrs. He sleeps for 2x 6hr blocks at night but I wouldn't leave him that long in the day in one go x

She slept for over 6 hours straight - she usually these days has very short naps in the day so this was a surprise. Yeh the hot weather could be factor

There’s a lady called ‘blissful baby expert’ on instagram and she has highlights saved with suggested routines for each age. We started following this at about 3 months with my first and it made such a difference so we’ve started earlier with our second (about 10 weeks we started). It’s really hit and miss - today he wouldn’t sleep at all unless I held him so we were slightly all over the place, but it’s nice to have something to focus on xx

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 🙂

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.

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
