Napping in bouncer chair

My in laws got us a baby bjorn bouncer chair. I put my little one in it so I could have some lunch and she fell asleep in it. Is that safe? I have it reclined back as far as it will go. I don’t want to wake her but I’m nervous to let her sleep in there. I’m watching her like a hawk at the moment.

Babies should sleep on a firm, flat surface. If you’re watching her it’s probably ok for a short time but I wouldn’t leave her in there for more than half an hour or so 😊

thanks lovely! I’m generally so paranoid about these kinds of things. Car seats scare the crap out of me. I normally do contact naps during the day so this is the first time this has happened aha

It’s not recommended but a lot of stuff isn’t, as long as they’re supervised and their chin is not resting on thier chest they’re fine

I ended up bringing her out about ten mins in as I was too nervous. We had a contact nap instead ahaha

As long as you're watching 👀 and it's not for hours I'd say you're fine! On the rare occasion it happens I just do jobs in the same room 👍

I was really worried and paranoid at first and it isn’t recommended for them to sleep in bouncers/swings.. But if I didn’t let my baby sleep in his swing chair I’d never get anything done during the day! He hated the Moses basket. I just keep a very close eye on him xx

so I mostly contact nap during the day so I get literally nothing done in the day.. I wait until my husband takes her up to bed and then i do cleaning etc. but it means I get to bed around 1 and it takes me a few hours to fall asleep … she’s up around 7.

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.

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
