Night sleep

My little girl is currently on about 3 night wakes, for the first two she breastfeeds, falls back to sleep and is transferred back into her cot successfully.

The 3rd wake usually happens between 5am and 5:30am, I feed her, she drops off on the boob and I hold her for at least 20 mins to make sure she's definitely in a deep sleep before I transfer her - same as every other wake - but on this one she just will not stay asleep in her cot, I'll maybe get 20 minutes at the most then she wakes but she's not hungry cause she's just fed and she's still tired cause she melts in to me as soon as I lift her out of her cot, she comes back into bed with us and we usually get an extra hour or two out of her - so how do I get her to do this in her cot?? 🤷🏼‍♀️

Omg this is frightening as my daughter is the same. I dreamfed her at 11, she woke at 4 and I fed her again… then she woke up at 4.55 and I put her straight into bed with me and she slept until 7 otherwise she would be up every 30 mins until 6. There is no rhyme or reason!

My baby bit is exactly the same! Goes back to sleep after night feeds but the early morning one then ends up in being transferred into my bed and on/off feeding just to stay asleep/settled

My LG is the same! I usually kick my husband out of bed at this point and have my baby in my bed so I can have a few extra hours before we get up.

I have no idea how she knows the difference, I put her away from me and remove the duvet and pillows from her side of the bed but she sleeps better there than in the cot in the morning

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.

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 🙂

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.

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.

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?
