What to do with wake windows?

My boy is 3 months and usually stays awake for 1.5 hrs but doesn't always require a feed so what do you do with wake windows? I feel like I'm being repetitive in what we so each window and don't want him getting bored.

Things we do throughout the days wake windows:
Books, conversations, play mat, tummy time, nursery rhymes, an episode of bluey once a day (so I can make food for me), look out windows and if its nice, usually will try go once, sensory toys.

everything is an experience for baby at this age! I did jobs with baby in carrier and then put her down in different rooms with me so the surroundings are different.

I also do visual stimulus cards/patterns, move arms and legs, my mom would whistle and my daughter mimicked her mouth, we also talk, we take my daughter around the house and look in the mirror and my daughter would coo at the mirror and have a conversation with herself

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.
