Co sleeping

Does anyone cosleep like this? I really really didn’t want to cosleep but baby absolutely refuses to settle in the next to me and I really need to get some sleep. I accidentally fell asleep in a position similar to this (pls don’t judge I haven’t slept in days) and managed to get 30 mins which is the longest I’ve had in days so now I’m considering planning to do it safely if it does help. But also would it mean we’d have to both sleep without a blanket?

I found this video quite helpful x https://youtu.be/DPPNJ8bs3CU?si=_Zv8f17c4A9tWzsl

You can have a blanket or duvet tucked in at your waist and wear long sleeves so you keep warm. Baby wouldn’t need a blanket

i had the same with my baby boy and we are now cosleeping and he’s been a game changer! there’s lots of advice out there on how to do it safely, mainly just keep baby’s part of the bed completely clear of pillows and blankets. if you’d told me a month ago i’d be cosleeping i would never have believed you but we’re doing what we can and this is what works, no judgement at all! ❤️

Yes. I slept like this with my Dec 21 baby until I fell pregnant with this one lol.
You can have a duvet on up to your waist. And wearing long sleeves when it's cooler is a good tip. My babe used to either have a light sleeping bag on or a cellular blanket.

Thank you so much girls 💗💗💗

I know! I can’t help but feel guilty which is quite crazy lol but i don’t think I’m informed enough x

It’s absolutely safe to co sleep! Dont be ashamed at all! Lullaby trust and get a nice cosy onsie to keep you warm xx

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.
