Any of your babies doing this?

The head turning, I’ve not long put him down after a feed, he’s also been doing it in the car before he falls asleep. I’ve read it can be normal and then I’ve obviously stupidly read other things..

My girl has done it for months, pretty sure it's a self soothing/ the two halves of her fighting over whether she should be asleep or not 😂

My daughter does this; sometimes it’s when I put her down to sleep or if she wakes up in the night. I believe it’s their way of self soothing…I know what you mean though, the internet is a bloody scary place! But I do think it’s normal 😊

My girly does it too to self soothe ☺️ and slams her legs up and down. 🤣

haha yes the leg slamming too 😆

Mine does when tired to self soothe x

Yep it's self soothing, very normal for babies, please don't worry 😘 x

All the time drives me insane as she usually wakes herself up

It is self soothing, my boy does it and the leg slamming thing, fighting proper sleep I think but gives in!!

My boy is 6 months and started doing this about 2 weeks ago! Always when he’s going off to sleep xx

Yes my little girl does this every time she's falling asleep, she's 7 months and has done it for a few months now. X

My LB has always done this x

My son does this! It is a way of self soothing. Like above, he also slams his legs down. Very normal for this age! X

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.
