Anyone else’s almost 3 year old all of sudden freaking out about bath and having to poop?!?

My daughter has always loved bath time and all of sudden she has to poop before, during, after. It’s like total tantrum and insanity. Please tell me it’s just a phase and she’s going to get over it. She literally won’t sit in the bath for me!

Also how in the world do you calm them down when they act like that? I literally cannot get through to her. She’s not really done this before so it’s all new to me.

My April daughter has been the same. Something about being in the tub makes her want to poop and she doesn’t like going poop for some reason.

Mine doesn't freak out about pooping, she does freak out about washing her hair even those she use to love it. With tantrums (something my daughter is great at doing) I tell her I will wait for her to breath then we will talk. Or I example breathing for her until she follows my lead. Recently I have tried a trick off tiktok which is blowing out the candles. I hold up 3 fingers and tell her to blow out the candles, which normally makes her laugh.

That’s great! I’ll try that. But like she just loses her mind to point where I’m like where is my child?!? What is happening

My kid screams a lot during bath time. Like, insanely high volume and constant screams. I’m scared to death that one of the neighbors are gonna call authorities on us thinking that we are mistreating him, when I SWEAR TO GOD I’m just trying to shower him. It’s tough. 🤦🏻‍♀️

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 🙂

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.

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!
