One whole week!

It's been a whole week since introducing a pillow and duvet to our LG and a whole week of her falling asleep independently instead of in my arms!
Still not sleeping through but the small wins are important.

How old is she?
I really look forward to this but my boy has only just turned 1 which I'm guessing is way too early

she was 1 on the 27th March

Awww, look at that little darling!!! My little boy was 1 on 28th March - wondering if I should do the same for him!! He does sometimes need contact to go to sleep 🥰 - not that I mind of course, but thinking for him and his independence!!

Fantastic! We have been considering this too. Where did you buy your set from? I’m guessing it’s quite a thin pillow?

We got it from asda. It's the silent night safe night 4.5 tog set. Yes, it's a fairly thin pillow

@Hannah Sorry to hear that. Dakota still wakes up through the night, but she's falling asleep better and sleeps for 6 hours before her first wake up (around 2am)

thanks Tara I’m definitely going to try this, and yes we are averaging about 2-3hrs of broken sleep a night 😵‍💫

Good luck! I feel permanently hungover 😵‍💫

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.

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.

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
