That’s my guy. I’m lucky if he gets an hour in.

What position does your baby usually lay in? My little girl like laying on my chest so we have this inclined pillow and lay her on her stomach on it to make it feel like she’s still laying on my chest. She’ll sleep for hours. My baby was turning her head a week old so it worked perfect.

Yeah it’s normal. As they approach 4 months they start to develop their circadian rhythm. So switching from baby sleep cycles (2) to adult sleep cycles (4) so they have to re learn how to connect them pretty much. It sucks. Were going through it right now too and I remember it with my first kid. We use magnesium lotion and spray which helps with that and other things

he’s a tummy sleeper but he turns his head really well so I usually let him be

My lo will wake up between 6 and 8, have his first bottle for the day go back to sleep for another 3 hours than be up for the rest of the day with only a 10 min nap here or there if we're lucky

mine sleeps mainly at night and i’m so grateful. she goes down around 9pm and i wake her around 3am (when her dad gets up for work) for her first bottle of the day. she will go back to sleep until 6am for her second bottle then back up at 9am for her third bottle. shes usually up the rest of the day with 30min naps every 2hrs or so after 9am.

I was wondering the same. My little girl has recently been showing signs of teething on top of finishing off fighting a cold plus I think going through ANOTHER growth spurt. I think all of it is playing a huge part on the lack of actually sleeping within the past week & change. Her and I were on a be up through the night from 2-3 in the afternoon then go to sleep at around 6-7 in the morning schedule because of her. Now on Monday she was awake almost all night besides about 2 20-30 minute naps at best then when we tried to go to sleep she wouldn't stay down 😭 basically causing me to stay up until around 2pm yesterday until she finally got tired enough to fall asleep on my chest until my husband got home about an hour later.

30 min naps here 🙋🏽‍♀️
But we’re also amidst the 3/4 month sleep regression so apparently that’s normal

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.

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.
