Yes same here I've always been one of those people where it takes me a while to fall asleep (white noise helps) but now i have a hard time staying asleep as well 😩

It is!! Lol 😩 I’m having it too and had it bad w my first. Its the worst bc you’re sooo tired

U not the only one

It’s terrible. I got 2:41 of sleep last night 😭😭😭

Yup 👍🏻

1/4 of a unisom is a life saver lately

I take a whole unisom every night and it does nothing at this point 🥲

I’ve never even heard of that until now! Had to google it lol

My doc said my insomnia may be due to anemia(I got it from my last blood test) and prescribed my iron vitamins. And it helped! I sleep better now

oh no! 🙈

also taking a whole unisom every night and it doesn't do much anymore. Sometimes I add 2 benadryl or a second unisom dose when I can't sleep at all

Girl same!! I typically sleep for a few hours and like clockwork I’m up around 3,4 am (it is currently 4:13am 😩). I try white noise sometimes but most of the time just let it run its course until I eventually fall back asleep

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 🙂

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

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.

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!
