Nursing less??

Any other breastfeeding moms feel like their baby is suddenly nursing less? I don’t think there’s a problem with my supply? he’s not fussy when he eats but he eats a lot of solid food now and when he does nurse it’s for like 5 mins or he’s super distracted and pulls off every 10 seconds 😂

Yup only nursing when he wakes up basically some times he has a quick snack on The boob but down to 4-5 sessions a day if that 🙁 he is overly distracted too so I stay in his room when he wakes so he does a full feed

Very much so! My little one only nurses maybe 3 times a day now. I am starting to worry that he's not getting enough and is going to start losing weight soon.

I have this issue too... He often refuses to eat from the boob until he's eaten a meal. We finally saw a pediatrician after 8 months of waiting regarding another issue but he was also weighed and measured during the visit. I learned he dropped from the 25th percentile to the 15th for weight and from the 15th to the 3rd for height 😭😭😭 I'm changing his solid food to be more fat and protein based and offering him each boob like a dozen times during a feed to try to get enough into him...

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.
