Over tired baby

Wondered if anyone has any tips or suggestions…
My baby usually has her first nap at 9. She likes to sleep for an hour and a half in the morning but sometimes we have our baby class or I have to be out so I have to wake her up. She gets soo fussy/upset if I wake her up around 30 mins after and I can tell she wants to go to sleep. The problem is if I’m out and about she won’t sleep because she is interested in everything going on whereas in the past I could bounce or rock her and she’d fall asleep when we were out. (She’s 4 months). I wondered if anyone has any tips, I’m finding whenever I’m out and she’s tired she’s just so cranky and I end up leaving to come home.

I’m also finding breastfeeding trickier now when I’m in public as she pulls off the boob has a good look around then wants to go back on. I’m fine with her doing that at home but I don’t fancy sitting there exposed 😂 any tips for this? I’m hoping it’s a phase!

Maybe get her up 30 mins earlier in the morning so she can take her nap and be awake for the class or appointments 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.

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.
