Lots of naps to get through the day

anyone else's baby napping lots to make it through the day?
I think we started the 4 month sleep regression last night after my daughter woke up crying and took a while to re-settle which meant she pretty much started her day about 6am and was entertained by her dad for an hour

Her optimal wake window is about 90 mins still so I think we're on about nap 4 or 5 today just to make it through and hope she doesn't go down too early again of her own accord. Anyone else have this?

Yeah we have just recently moved to 4 naps from 5 but sometimes where she doesn't do a full nap, or she struggles with a full wake window, I need to still give her a 5th nap or earlier bed time but I think they all adjust in their own time! Xx

My little girl isn’t quite 4 months but she has had a lot of naps today. Currently napping now which is dangerously close to her normal bedtime so hope it doesn’t mean we’re in for a tough night.

My one is fighting all her day time naps and ends up staying awake for 2-3 hours. Currently on 3 naps a day mostly, sometimes there's 4 naps but rarely. This only started recently and she's much harder to settle. Our bedtime is loosely 7-8 sometimes it can be at 9 or 10 is she is really fighting sleepy. Wake up times vary between 5-7 sometimes at 8am!

We do 5-6 naps daily on average just to make it through the day, he only naps for 20-30 minutes at a time!

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!

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.

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?

When did you circumcise your baby?
If you DID NOT or DO NOT have a circumcised son DO NOT comment this post is not for you!

Did you wait a certain amount of time or have it done immediately?
Again respectfully, this is only for the parents who choose to do so.
opinions about how not necessary it is will not be appropriate for this post. Thank you in advance. 🩵
