Anyone else who naps with their LOs just like me. 😁

I see most moms saying they do house chores when baby naps. But I do the opposite. I am too exhausted to stay up all day plus house chores plus baby sitting rhat i need energy to keep up for the day..

I feel a bit guilty about this as I feel like it's just me doing this

I nap too. I do some chores around my LG so she can see me do it and not some magic fairy coming while she sleeps (i wish that one was true lol) bathrooms, I do at night because of fumes. Our main purpose is to care for our little ones. They have no one else. So if you need a nap to have energy to do so, do it.

I always used to rest (have a hot cuppa and watch TV), but now I’m pregnant I have a little nap..at the weekends anyway, when I’m not working 😂

I have napped for the past 16months and don’t intend on stopping 🤣. Just enjoy it who cares what other people choose to do xx

Oh god yes! I always climb back under the sheets and watch something and close my eyes for a bit 🫠 keeps me going for the rest of the day. Don’t feel one bit guilty

It's the only way keeps our energy up through out the day. Without it I'm more grumpy lol don't feel guilty, it's much needed :)

Yeah I definitely do or just lay in bed and close my eyes for a bit haha xxx

Sometimes I nap, sometimes I do stuff.. depends how I feel!

Thank you ladies for your feedback. They are reassuring! 🤎

I choose between how bad I need to do things and how that’s making me feel mentally
Cup of tea is a must! And a nap if needed

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.
