Anyone else’s 11 month olds abnormally fussy and fighting naps?😩

Thought it might be teething, but this is worse than normal. Thinking it’s another sleep regression or leap?

8-12 months is almost a non stop whirlwind of fussiness for me even with my good babies. There’s so much work to be done in their little bodies and brains those last 4 months of true “babyhood”! It’s possible it’s teething, a leap or milestone, if he’s been pulling up more or trying to stand or walk that will keep him from wanting to sleep too. Could be almost anything but whatever it is usually will resolve in a couple of days 😭🤣

Yess!! She just started getting better now though. I think it was a sleep regression, she would NOT nap.. never had an issue with naps before

Yes! My son has been so fussy and needy recently. Plus he’s constantly skipping his second nap. But on the plus sides he’s also been more affectionate

Thanks ladies! It’s nice to know my baby isn’t the only one! He is definitely very close to walking and is taking 5+ steps at a time so I think it is partially that, teething and a sleep regression 😅

@Alyssa my little girl, is going on a week like this, ladies LO. All she wants is me, too. If I'm in the room with others and people she knows very well, she looks at me and yells and cries. She yells at me when she's hungry but already in the chair and sees it being fed to her. But she still yelled and cried. I had to leave the room till she calmed down so I could come back and feed her. Idk. It really stressed me out. I ended up yelling, and I feel awful about that. 😮‍💨

I’m lucky because my third and second babies have had older siblings to help entertain them so I haven’t dealt with this part as much. Sounds like a little bit of separation anxiety potentially? I know those phases of separation anxiety usually take a bit more time to get over. I know it’s tough. Definitely take those breaks, she will be okay. I remember for my first child I had one of those large playpens for him to be in safely while I cooked or took a short breather. Putting some wireless earbuds in to drown out some of the crying helped me. (There really is nothing you can do but let them fuss sometimes unfortunately!) Some kiddos do just go through grumpy phases and there’s nothing wrong with what you’re doing or anything. Their temperaments and personalities are not in our control 🤣

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.

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.

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 🙂

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.

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
