Tommee Tippee Dreamsense monitor

Does anyone here have the tommee tippee dreamsense baby monitor?
I bought one last year at the baby show in London (didn’t pay full price), and we’ve set it up this week as little one’s bedtime has become a bit earlier with the introduction of a bedtime routine following a lovely sleep regression. The idea being I can have an hour downstairs with my partner after putting him down (not that we’ve achieved that yet 🙈).
The monitor just doesn’t seem to recognise my little boys cries as cries. It’s determining it as background noise, which means the monitor filters this from coming through on the parent pod. According to the monitor, he slept right through last night, however we’ve had a horrendous night and he’s needed resettling almost every 30 mins.
I have the sensitivity settings set to the most sensitive for baby and 50% for environment. But I just don’t see how it will work when he’s in his own room as I’m not confident it will alert me when he cries. Does anyone have any experience with this?

We also bought ours at the baby show and I think it’s the worst purchase we made there. I also found this issue, I’ve turned the environment noise sensitivity to 0% and up the baby noise sensitivity. It’s better, but even then it gives false alarms all day. We won’t even be home and still get notifications for baby noises lol. I’ve thought of getting a different one once my little one is in his own room!

I’m so disappointed for such an expensive monitor. Although I would never have paid full price for it, only got it because it was such a good deal and brought the cost in line with most other monitors. I’ll contact tommee tippee and see what they say 🤷‍♀️ was hoping we might have just had a faulty monitor

definitely would not have been worth full price but even with the discount, since it doesn’t work as it should, it’s such a waste of money! Let me know what they say please 🙏🏼 I also hope we have a faulty one or have the settings on wrongly

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 🙂

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

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.
