3 month crap naps

Is it just me?? I feel so bad for him, he’s so frustrated but he can’t sleep past 30 mins at a time. Is this a growth spurt or something common around this age

She’s been having such a hard time. She’ll only contact nap, car nap or occasionally stroller nap.

Except today.. she just went down independently in her bassinet 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

I am FEELING THIS SO HARD. My daughter will not sleep past 30 minutes unless I’m wearing her and it drives me NUTS. She is SO TIRED every single mf day and is so cranky all the time now. And if I put her down before 9:30, she will wake up 30 minutes later and be up until god knows when. It’s such a shitty cycle and I hate it

It’s been like this for sooo long for my boy!! This wonderful mom just posted on my other post a few pages from a nap solution book I tried it and it WORKED. Currently doing it for his nap now!!

To extend naps, it says right before they wake up fully go in and pat the mattress right beside them or bounce. They may slightly wake but my boy always wakes and this worked just before!! If they stay up, you can pat or rub them (that hasn’t worked for me as I tried many many times lol)

same!

yup mine will only contact nap too and it’s still only 30 at a time 😔 except the last nap, I was able to put him back to sleep so he got 2 hrs thankfully

the cranky is so bad!! Stuff he used to play with independently he is not feeling this week, just wants to be held. I hope this ends soon

Look up the peaceful sleeper/taking cara babies! They have blogs on crap naps. It’s a developmental thing at 3 months and we are struggling through it too.

thank you, I’ll definitely check that out

Saaame. We've been upping the milk intake and definitely swaddling. It has helped some.

Same! My LO today took the shiftiest naps ever.
One 25 min and another one 26
I couldn’t believe it!
I can’t wait for this sleep regression / growth spurt to pass

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.
