Sleep

Did anyone notice an improvement in sleep by moving their little one into their own room? My little boy is almost 16 months and his sleep is terrible. But I don’t know if it’s because we’re disturbing him.

With our first we moved him into his own room at 5&half months as we were disturbing him & he was also hitting his arms off the next to me and waking himself up with that too!
He slept great once we moved him, Back to being 11/12 hours xx

My son started sleeping properly through the night after the 2 years. He's now 2 and 5 months and sometimes still wakes up during the night. But I don't think it's because he's on our room, for him it was because he fell asleep on my bed and then we moved him to the bed. Now he fell asleep on his own bed and stays there. Where does your little one fell asleep?

Either on me or my bed, just he has been transferring into his cot which is next to me right now we took the bar off but he’s just so unsettled during the night 😔 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!

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.
