Tips for fussy eaters/low appetite

My girl has always been such a good eater. But recently her appetite is really poor and she won't touch veg if she sees it.

Cutting out snacks worked for a while, but she's back to eating a few mouthfuls at mealtimes and it being thrown on the floor.

I'm at a loss, even her favourites are a struggle now 😔 last night we shared a tuna omelette with onions and mushrooms in and she devoured it, but only because it was mine. I am going to try making her that today though and see what happens.

Any other suggestions please?!

We found that our LG eats much better when she's left to it and we don't pay much attention to her and her plate during mealtimes. We usually serve her whatever we're eating alongside something "safe" that we know she'll eat.
That said, she still doesn't eat much at home while at nursery she apparently asks for seconds most days 🤷🏻‍♀️

I tend to 'ignore her' too as that used to work, but now that's stopped working. She eats amazingly at nursery and as I work there I've witnessed it 🤦‍♀️ but I give her the same foods at home and it gets launched. She used to love a roast, so at the weekend all 4 of us sat and had one together. She ate 3 spoons of mashed potato, handed me each individual pea, and sucked the juice from the gammon 🤦‍♀️

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!

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.

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.

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.
