All I can advise is it takes time, it got explained to me that my little girl had to relearn how to latch and feed again. This heat doesn't help anything either my usually chill baby hasn't been this last 24 hours but she's starting leap 4 so likely to be a combination xx

Our baby had his tongue "untied" 3 weeks ago! The first couple of days were brutal, he was crying, didn't want to eat and didn't know what to do with his tongue. We gave him baby Tylenol the first day and that helped. He is still sticking his tongue out all the time trying to figure out what to do with it but he is eating way better now. You can get through this! It just takes time for them to heal❤️❤️❤️

I had my babies tongue tie cut at 4 weeks, she’s now 10 weeks. The first week was worse than ever and almost broke me. Laid back feeding position helped. It really does just take time. Some do see more instant improvement but 1-2 weeks is normal. Unfortunately for us it’s taken quite a few weeks as she’s also got a narrow, high bubble palate which causes similar issues but overall it has gotten slowly better. There unfortunately isn’t anything you can really do except to keep feeding with as much patience and support as possible and just know even though it’s a step back, it will come good again. Not sure how old your baby is but it can be tough when cut later as they have to unlearn how they were feeing and start again. Also you may of suffered with supply issues due to the tie so they may need to feee extra now and also the heat. All I can say is hang in there! I know it’s hard - you are doing great!

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.

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

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.
