Sleeping issues

My baby 10 months old since 7 months have just refused to sleep unless being held or pushed up against me. Before 7 month he would only wake up 2 a night. Any other baby have done this? I’ve tried waiting until he is fully asleep but he instantly wakes up the minute I try to put him down. He cries like he got hurt. If I do get him in his crib it’s only for an hour before he is crying again. His doctor told me it’s ok to co-sleep for my own sanity. I have tried everything( blanket, light, music). Any ideas on how to get him to sleep back on his own.

Have a shirt that smells like you on a pillow and have your baby lay on it. That might help. Co sleeping is ok too as long as y’all get some sleep. Make a recording of your voice and try playing that to get your baby to sleep?
Prayers for you and your situation 💜

thanks I’ve tried both of those and none work. I would just like to have some free time for myself at night

I hear ya honey. We are now co sleeping too unfortunately because I have tried everything but he wants me. I didn't want to cosleep because of the bad experience I had with oldest getting him into his big boy bed but we will cross that bridge when it comes I guess

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.
