Regression or teething?

LO will be 6m on Friday and has slept through the night since 14 weeks. The past week she's been waking up around 5 times after midnight crying, all she needs is her dummy back in and she'll go back off but then repeats. Normally she only has the dummy at the start of the night.
She has had a bit of a cold, so I'm not sure if it's that, if it's her gums because she's always got her hand in her mouth when she wakes us or if it's a sleep regression? She never had the 4m regression so I don't really know what to expect. She sleeps in a short sleeve vest, babygrow and 2.5 sleeping bag and the room is 18 degrees but in the night her hands are freezing, so could it also be that she's cold?

Anyone else had similar or think they know what it could be?

Yes my baby is waking throughout the night too, I'm soooo tired! He's been quite grumpy in the day too which isn't like him, definitely think it's the teething xx

Regression can happen at any age. But is more common at 4m. Since 4m (LO 6m in 11 days) we’ve had sleep issues. She’s never slept through the night but it’s got worse for sure. I’m sleep deprived most days. I have noticed in the last 3 days her entire behaviour change, she wants to be awake longer, she’s suddenly doing a lot more developmentally, so I’m putting her bad daytime naps and nighttime sleeps to this and teething. It’s all a guessing game. For day time naps, she does struggle to connect her sleep cycles, so I will go and pick her up and start rocking before her 40 minute window and then after 5-10 mins of rocking I put her back down and her nap continues. They change constantly so probably just establishing a new regime or night time sleeping. Stay strong xx

Wdy think of this for a toddler to learn word construction?

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 🙂

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.

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.

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?
