Baby crying

For the record, baby girl will be 4 months next month. This is the first time where I haven’t been able to figure out why she is hysterical… we tried feeding but she’s not wanting it tho I know she needs to eat cause it’s now past the 3hr mark. And then I thought gas pains but nothing I did was helping to relieve her.. my husband is at work and I called him and he told me to step away for a few minutes and breathe, which I did. Now I’m holding her and rocking her and she’s sleeping finally.. But now I’m scared if I try to wake her to feed her she’ll go ballistic again.. Anyone else’s almost 4mo old going through this or has gone through this?

I wouldn’t wake her. I would maybe just wait till she wakes up on her own and feed her right when she wakes. My son tends to cry a lot when he is over tired and needs help to go to sleep

She'll let you know when she's hungry. My girl is almost 4 months old and had been super fussy, excessively crying this weekend. She's usually pretty good, but I think she's teething, so she's uncomfortable.
Hope your baby girl and you get some rest.

My son is 3 months and he go through the same thing sometimes

I wouldn’t wake your baby they are to the age now were they can go awhile without eating if they are past there birth weight. Just feed when your baby gets up!(:

Let her sleep. She will be totally fine to go awhile without eating. Sleep will likely help reset whatever is bothering her, if it is overtiredness or just crankiness kind of a thing going on.

Teething?

it sounds like your baby was overtired. when my daughter gets like this i hold her in my arms (butt in hand, back of head on forearm) and pat her butt while swaying with white noise. she falls asleep before 10 minutes

has she had a bowel movement she’s probably just irritable ? that’s what my baby do when she hasn’t moved her bowels .

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.

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 🙂

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.
