Feeding at night

How many of our October babies are still feeding regularly at night?

It feels like it’s going to be like this forever 😂😂

My LO used to go longer stretches at night but for example last night:

20:30 bedtime - 6oz
00:00 - 6oz
02:10 - 4oz (fell asleep didn’t want anymore)
05:00 - 5oz (didn’t want anymore and just awake 🙈)
Short sleep for an hour then up babbling chatting laughing at 06:30 😂

Yep, a month or so ago she was sleeping 4+ hour stretches at night but now she’s up every 2 hours or so for a feed oxox

She wakes up every 2 hrs. Never slept longer than 4-5 hrs

Every 1-2 hours through the night EBF, as Jess said the easiest way to get him back to sleep 😅 x

We managed to drop our night feed as I noticed he seemed to be taking less each time and felt like he was doing it for habit so I gradually decreased the amount he was taking and replaced it with a dummy - he was fine and went back to sleep fine until the morning, didn’t wake up crying for a bottle and still doesn’t take his full first bottle so I know he’s not hungry through the night! X

My lo is 5 months
Bedtime and bottle :10pm 5oz (falls asleep)
Wakes up 4/5: put dummy im
Wakes up: 9am bottle 7oz

Our LO also started wanting more feeds again with the sleep regression but I actually just moved her into her own room and we have got the longer stretches of sleep back 🤞

Same!! Every two hours sometimes less and she used to do stretches of 5-7 hours…they say everything is a phase right?! 😂

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 🙂

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.

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.

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.
