4 Month Sleep Regression

Has anyone got any tips for the 4 month sleep regression? 🫣 My little one seems to be heading that way - fussier during the day, naps are only 20-30 mins max & now waking up from 4am and will only go back to sleep with some form of touch from me ❤️

Yes it is indeed! She absolutely loves it, it’s really supportive as well so perfect at the moment while she needs the extra support sitting up! xx

That’s tough! Give your baby comfort if they need it. Babies can’t regulate their emotions and it’s natural to be soothed to sleep. Good luck 🥰

I have been told just try and keep to your usual routine as changing can just make things worse for longer. Think it is just a ride through it period. Ahhhh!

I feel ya! 😂
I wasn’t using white noise before and that does seem to be helping but you do have to have it on all night which is a bit annoying 😂

My little boy went through that stage at night I changed his bum give him a cuddle and put him back down how I would for bed time and it seemed to work after about 4 1/2 months he slept throughout from 7pm till 6am. He’s went through the same stage the last 2 weeks at 8months and I’ve just put a comforter in rather than get him out n waited till he’s drifted off and again he’s went back to sleeping all night x

My little one has gone from sleeping 5 hour stretches at night to being up every 2 hours 🫠

Try pink noise - I found white noise didn’t work and pink noise helps so much more. I’ve also started doing 3 small pram walks during the day rather than 1 in the morning and 1 before it’s dark. My little one is 4 month and he’s just started going through this too, it’s hard but keep going!!! ☺️ xxx

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.

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.

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
