SEX

Mums whose babies sleep in their bed. How are you coping and how are you and your partner able to have sex!?

My 10 month old was in his cot last night and my partner decided to rub on me then we was having foreplay…. About to have sex then bubba started crying so we obviously stopped and he ended up in bed with us.

At the time I wasn’t really in the mood for sex anyway but just for future reference how are you still having time to be able to have alone time??

You have to make time, be intentional, and have a different location in your home where you can have the privacy that you need. Go ahead and have it "set up" if possible. Even if it's on the floor of your closet. You just have to get creative about it.

Our son usually comes in our bed around 3-4am because he’s breastfed and after that time I get lazy to put him back in his cot but from 8-12/1 ish we use that time to have sex because that’s usually his longest stretch and he now falls back to sleep on his own if he’s not clicking

Put him/her to sleep in there bed put the baby monitor on and go to the other room to do your deed and come back

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

6 month old autistism

My 6 month old makes no eye contact with me and doesn’t respond when I call him. Can this just be a phase or personality trait as apposed to autism

Baby with chronic congestion

Hi everyone! My 1 year has been a congested baby since birth almost. She breathes through her mouth so often that it wakes her up multiple times at night and she cries and screams and then struggles to go back to sleep. She wakes up every 1-3 hours and sometimes can’t go back to sleep for 2-3 hours!!! Piriton is the only thing that seems to help her sleep mostly through the night but I can’t keep giving her that!!
Does anyone have tips as to have I can do or give her? Has anyone experienced? I have no idea when I’ll get an ENT appointment and I have no idea what he can give a 13 mo :( we are desperate for sleep so any tips are welcome!! We have tried steam inhalation, saline drops, vapour rubs and everything off the counter basically!

Combi feeding advice

Has anyone gone from EBF to combi feeding? Currently do one bottle of EBM per night and they one half formula half breast milk mixed in the day. The other times she still feeds on me. Ideally I want to feed all day via bottle and all night with breast. She’s 7 weeks and takes a bottle well, how long should I leave it before adding another bottle to her daily routine?
