Snoo smart bassinet

Has anyone had success with the Snoo smart bassinet for contact-nap only newborns? LO is 6 weeks old and sleeps ok in the bassinet overnight (wakes once or twice to feed and settles easily enough) but fights a day nap tooth and nail - the only way I can get him to sleep longer than 15 minutes is in a carrier. While I enjoy wearing him I would also like to shower / nap! TIA

My LO is the same way. He will also nurse to sleep during the day and take contact naps. Lately I've been able to nurse him to sleep and gently move him to the couch next to me and he will sleep awhile that way. I also haven't yet had success with daytime naps in his bassinet yet either, but I'm not complaining too much because he sleeps so well at night.

We love our Snoo! Our LO is 7 weeks and sleeps up to 6 hour stretches in the snoo at night, but funnily enough still prefers contact naps during the day 😆 We still use it to settle her when she's drowsy during the day, and she will sometimes sleep up to 60-90 minutes once she nods off. I honestly don't know how I would have managed without it... it feels like cheating sometimes. We found one secondhand too, so while it was still quite expensive they hold their resale value and it was definitely worth the investment!

I have a Graco Sense2Snooze which is kind of similar but way cheaper. And we love it so far 😊

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!

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.

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 🙂

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.

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?
