Help - Sleeping face down

My almost 8 month old has started sleeping with her face into the mattress. She’s been sleeping on her front for a while but would always put her head to one side but now it’s full on planted into the mattress.

But everytime I go in to move her head to the side or roll her over she wakes up crying, I have to rock her back to sleep but the minute I put her in the cot she rolls straight onto her front and face plants the mattress again.

I got no sleep last night as this happened pretty much every 15 mins.

Is it ok to let her sleep like that as she can roll herself in and out of it?

My boy has been doing this since about 4 months old. It used to really worry me. But I figured he could move out of it if he had to. If I would move him, he would only roll back the same way

My little one does this too, I was really worried but I watched her move herself and it kind of gave me more reassurance x

I say it is fine. My LG does this and same as you, the first time she started doing it I kept moving her resulting in no sleep for both of us. Their necks are so strong so when she wants to move she will be able to

My boy has just started doing this. I can't sleep keep checking on him it's horrible x

My boy has done this for a few months now with his bum in the air. So cute. I always check I can hear him breathe and his nostrils are usually facing to the side

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.
