My daughter didn’t sleep great until 22 months, my friends kid didn’t sleep good until 7 years.
Seek some help 😘

I've just been told it's developmental to ride it out. He is only 5 months but it's killing me.

It’s the first thing you get told that when you have kids, you can say bye to your sleep. Nothing lasts forever and your body does get used to it after a while 🥲

My boy was an amazing sleeper from about 5 weeks old, I was bragging about it, thinking how lucky I am. 🙄😅 now for the last month he’s an absolute nightmare. He’ll fall asleep beautifully on his bedtime bottle, stays asleep for an hour in his bed then all hell breaks loose. He’s thrashing around in his next to me, moans and groans, babbles, spits the dummy out 10073766 times. I rock him back to sleep, will stay asleep for 10 mins then the cycle repeats… so I started putting him in our bed (following all sage sleeping guidelines for cosleeping) and we now both sleep through the night again. Don’t know if it’s the biggest mistake I made but it’s working for us for now x

I’m in the same boat with my little girl. Her naps are hideous she fights them every single time and they last 10-15 minutes unless she stays on me the whole time 😫 her night time sleep isn’t too bad but the last two nights she will not settle in her cot and again only sleeps on me so it’s like having a newborn again x

@Amy Mack my first slept amazingly perhaps naive of me to think I'd get lucky again.

It's been 2 months... im really not sure I'm getting used to it.

@Dominika nightmare!

We tend to co sleep after 3am ish. I'm tempted to try from the begining of the night and see what happens. Sometimes might be up hourly to start, others might sleep 3 hours then up hourly.

I find he ia still waking a lot when in bed with me too

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.
