My lo has suddenly started to wake for an earlier 3rd feed in the night

He hasn't slept through since the 4month regression and has woke for 2 feeds. But we finally had him getting up at 6am and down around 6 for gre last month and half and then this week he's like up at 5 again and tired around half 5

Is this a short term few days blip because it fucks everything up for daily routines with nursery and I'm lost to what I should do now. Do I try to push him back to the 6 sleep. He keeps waking in the middle of his naps too ugh

I feel like it's a growth spurt coming maybe

My boy is a December baby (just) and about 5 weeks ago his sleep went awful when he was learning so many new skills. He learnt to crawl, pull up to standing and walk with his push along walker all within 2 weeks. It was exhausting but as soon as he was confident with his skills he went back to his normal 2 wakes each night. Is your boy going through something like this? x

He's doing alot more climbing or trying to climb onto stuff so it's likely that is apart of it too. And he's got abit of a cold AGAIN 😭 so maybe thats playing apart too I dunno. I'm so glad someone else is saying their baby still wakes 2 times a night because I was starting to feel abnormal even though the statistics support it and say alot of babies do. People always say oh he's still waking at night, maybe you need to stop feeding him as it's probably a habit but like he's hungry so what do you do.

Honestly twice a night is the best night we get, when he's not poorly or have a development spurt he's quite predictable with his 2 feeds but all sorts of things change that very regularly. He's never slept through and I don't expect him to for ages as he still drains his overnight bottles and like you said I'm not leaving him hungry x

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!

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?
