Low sleep needs

Does anyone here have what they consider a low sleep needs baby? If so, how did you come to determine this? What wake windows are your babies meant to be following vs how long they’re actually awake for before sleeping?

My girl has sadly (for me) always been on the low end. Even as a newborn she would sleep maximum 14 hours a day.

Most of her 6 month long life she’s averages 12 hours (some days 11, some 13).

I would suggest throwing wake windows in the bin and paying attention to your baby - follow their cues.

My girl has almost always stayed awake at least an hour longer than expected for her age.

I don't know about wake windows but they sleep about 9-10 hours at night and 1-2 hours a day

Yes 😢 I think our bubs is 12.5 hour sleep needs. But idk if this is his true sleep needs or he just isn’t sleeping well. He can happily do anything between 3.5-4.5, even up to 5 hours awake. He’s 10 months

My girl goes to bed at 7pm then will sleep threw till about 9am apart from waking up for bottles 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!

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.

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 🙂

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.

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?
