Nappy changes

Does your little ones cry when you’re changing their nappy during the night? My little girl is waking up between 1/2am crying so I go in and soother her and calm her down and I also change her nappy and while doing this she’s literally screaming??

Has she pooed? Otherwise I would try not changing her nappy. If you get a decent nappy, they are super absorbent and can go 12 hours (made to last overnight) and rarely bother a baby. It’s worth using the size up too. I’d say she might be screaming as although she is crying and needs soothing, she probably just wants to sleep and the nappy change might be too stimulating and maybe the colder air etc.

We put our baby girl in a new nappy before bed and change her when she wakes up in the morning. This way we don’t disrupt her during her sleep, she also never does number 2 during the night. We started off on Aldi nappies then changed to pampers and now we’re using Sainsburys. The Sainsburys’ one has been the best for us so far, super absorbent with little to no leakages. The amount of Poonamis we’ve had with pampers is ridiculous considering what we were paying!!!

This was us until 6 weeks ago, I couldn’t bear it anymore so we just started doubling up nappies overnight and leaving her. Much less traumatic for everyone involved! We just make sure she is smothered in sudo overnight :)

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.

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

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 🙂

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!

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.
