How did you wean off the paci?

I'm noticing my lo is starting to slowly build a deeper connection with his paci. I think it's affecting his night sleep. He cries when he wakes, when I give the paci, crying stops but then cries again when it falls out. I don't let him sleep with it, i take it out once he's really asleep.
Before it gets any worse, how did you wean off the paci if you did?

I weaned my girl off the paci at exactly 26 months of age. I cut the tip off and made a big deal about it. I said oooh look the ghost ate your paci! Looks like we will have to throw it away! Etc etc...she was so surprised. Within 2 days she was weaned completely! After about 10 months, her teeth also shifted back to normal.
I'd say if you're going to wean, do it now or around age 2. When they are a year old, then they don't really understand why etc..
At this age, If you really want to wean, then I'd just go cold turkey. They are too young to understand otherwise

Wdy think of this for a toddler to learn word construction?

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.

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.
