Baby Rolling onto side and then touching crib fabric

Help! I can’t sleep. I have a next to me crib. My baby is almost 5 months. She has a new habit of rolling her body onto the side but ends up almost wriggling until her face is almost touching the side of the crib. I can’t sleep as I’m afraid she’s going to suffocate. I move her back each time but just ends up back there again.

What about buying a little comforter so the baby can rub this on their face? My little boy has an elephant one and he doesn’t sleep without it touching one side of his face. Once he’s asleep I just move it over to the end of his cot

We had this problem so I rolled up a t shirt and put it under the mattress and my son couldn’t then roll up the little incline. He’s now fully rolling over though so we’ve put him in his big cot

Try not to worry. My lo has been doing this since she was 4 months old (she’s now nearly 6 months). I panicked to start with but realised her nose isn’t completely covered when her face is pressed against it and the mesh is breathable.
Don’t buy any pod or sleep container that goes in the crib because they are a massive SIDS risk and worse than her putting her face against the side.

not sure if you are aware but any nests/pods aren’t recommended because they are a huge SIDS risk

I would worry the next to me side is made of breathable fabric is what I have been told! I also felt the same I move my little one back if I notice it but usually she has a small space between space and crib

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.
