Has anyone moved from 4 to 3 naps yet?

My little boy seems to have come out of the regression and taking longer day time naps and is managing longer wake windows (2 - 2.5 hours)so I think it’s time.

I use the sweet spot on huckleberry but just curious to know if anyone else has made the transition yet and how it’s been?

We're still on 4 and she barely makes it to an early enough bed time at the moment...just hit regression day 6 😩 How long did yours last ? Xx

Struggling to move to 3 naps currently! I think we'll have a three nap day today as she randomly took a 2 hour nap this afternoon (normally they are only 30mins if I'm lucky). I'm finding 4 naps are pushing bedtime out too late at the moment even with 30 min naps!

I’m sorry to say it was at least 2 - 3 weeks so I feel for you! It does get better though! We ended up taking the dummy away and that made a huge difference and he began to self settle 😊

it’s so awkward at this stage isn’t it! I think I’ll just have to see how each day is with his naps and play it by ear.

He was only taking 30-45 minute naps and it’s only been the last 3-4 days they’ve begun to stretch out so it may start happening for you soon 😊.

Yeah I thought as much 😭😂 How did you take the dummy? Just cold turkey? I did consider but I think she would be AWFUL to get to sleep without or resettle 🫣

We are on 3 but sometimes 4 :)

yes it was cold turkey. I just got so fed up of waking up every 30-45 minutes to him crying for it. He cried for quite a while to begin with but I just kept comforting him and eventually he got used to it. It did take a few days for it to be better but the first day was by far the worst.

Oh god you're braver than me! 🙈 How long roughly would you say he took to get to sleep that first night ? X

probably 45 minutes to an hour. Usually it would only take 10-15 minutes but he’s back to that now 😊

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.

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

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 🙂

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!

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.
