Sleep consultant

Has anyone used a sleep consultant?
I'm at my wit's end with my little boys sleep. I'm running on 3/4 hrs broken deep every night and I've also got a toddler so no rest in the day 😭
Any recommendations would be appreciated!!

When my toddler was 12 months the health visitor referred us to a sleep consultant for free! Worked well for him at the time x

I had no idea health visitors can do it. Sleep consultants are expensive...

We did - thegentlesleepmama.co.uk

We have seen a huge improvement in his sleep. He now naps in his cot for a. Hour for 2 out of his 3 naps and usually only wakes once in the night for a quick feed, sometimes twice. I'll post before and afters of our nights tracked on Huckleberry:

did it involve any crying? Or was in genuinely gentle and a no cry approach?

No crying at all. Very gentle, child centred approach. All the changes were to do with his morning wake time, his nap lengths and his last wake window before bed. We provided lots of info which she worked out that our little boy has low sleep needs, so he manages well on the lower end of average sleep for his age. So we've discovered that 2x one hour naps and a 30 min cat nap in the afternoon, then a 8:30 / 9:00pm bed time is the best for him to get a good night's sleep through to 7am

I've looked at her website and booked a 15 min chat. What package did you go for? X

Also, do you BF? X

Ah good. She's lovely! We went for the Moon package, the middle one with 3 follow up check ins to use whenever we like if we come across any issues or need to make any adjustments. My baby has formula during the day but is breastfed for night feeds and his first morning feed 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!

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.

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

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 🙂

Pumping advise

FTM to a 2 week old! I’m breastfeeding and then giving one formula bottle last in the evening before bed. I want to start expressing milk to give me some breathing room and also allow my partner to be more involved in feeding. I’m finding the idea of introducing pumping into my day quite overwhelming though. I don’t want to take milk away from my baby by pumping if he needs it during the day when being breastfeed.

Can anyone advise how I start pumping and when to do it? Thank you!

Vaccination advice

I’m really looking for advice and opinions on vaccines for my baby. I’m not against getting them but also just don’t feel like I know enough about them to make a decision just yet as I’ve had people say to me they don’t agree with them and they can cause issues etc… so I just want as much info as possible. What are everyone’s thoughts and experiences of vaccinating your child? I’m just interested to see everybody’s views (no judgement as I just want to know I’m doing the right thing) thank you x
