Hates his napping getting changed!

My little one is 16 months and the last couple of months has been so bad at getting his nappy changed ! Straight crying when laying him down pulling and kicking and just trying to roll away. I used to be able to sing to him to calm him down but doesn’t seem to work now, anyone have any tips or suggestions on how to make getting his nappy changed less dramatic

Thanks

Have you tried handing him something to keep him occupied whether it be his favorite toy or even a clean diaper?

My always hated nappy change, now as soon as he see me grab a nappy or pack of wipes he cry and run away 🤣😅 tried everything wipes warmer, toys, music, siging, playing peek a boo nothing working so I just try to be efficient 🤷🏼‍♀️

As bad as it sounds… I pass him my phone. It’s locked, he’s not watching anything on it but it keeps him still long enough for me to change him. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.

It’s totally normal at that age so don’t feel like you’re doing anything wrong or anything is wrong with him, you’re in the “wrestling an alligator” stage 🤣

Thank you all for the suggestions! I’ll try them all and hopefully one will settle him🤞🏼and I can couldn’t describe that better “wrestling an alligator”😂

Sounds strange but make strange faces at him and sing different songs not ones his used to! Hand him something to play with he wouldn’t usually play with

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.

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.

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
