Will I ever sleep again ?

My almost 20 month old was always a good sleeper. We cosleep since 8 months old and I just can't take it anymore. The last couple of weeks he won't stop moving. What feels like from 2am-6am then when I normally get up for work and my mom takes over he'll sleep like a rock until 930-10. But on weekends or when I'm home he's up by 7 and won't stay still all night ! Just keeps rolling and rolling. Any suggestions because I'm going crazy !

Do you have the option of moving him to a crib?

I do and I have been considering this. Not sure how to do it with him being older.

We've done crib since 4 months, so I don't have any good transition tips. However, we did use Little Z Sleeps 2 week sleep program, which may help you if you're ready!

I'm going to have to try. I did around 12 months and he got a bad cold so of course I felt bad and reset my progress

You could try a floor bed or toddler bed?

Sleep training!!!! She sleeps 12 hours every night. Loves her sleep schedule. Is the best thing ever . I have a life because I can sleep. I don’t have any help , so I need to teach her to sleep on her on . Was the best decision. Shes a happy baby all the time .

how did you do it

My 19mo still cosleeps and he picks and chooses when he wants to let me sleep comfortably or not nurse through the night. I wish I could figure out how to get him into his own bed too

Start by putting him in a bed of his own in your room with you and then eventually move him from your room into his own room his own bed.

The transition might be easier then you think. I am still CoSleeping but I put a sidecar crib by my bed and my daughter one night just crawled into it. If you are ready for little one to leave your room then maybe try that? And then it could also make moving them to their own room easier because they are use to their own bed. Sending all the good vibes!

Mine will toss and turn once his diaper gets full and uncomfortable. See if you can change his diaper in the bed without turning on the light. Just have a clean diaper ready to to on the nightstand each night, and also offer him a drink of water if he insists on nursing all night.

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 🙂

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.
