Struggling with routine so much! - especially bed time

So my LO wakes up at 10am/ 11am has her nap around 2pm sometimes one hour sometimes two hours and then fights her sleep usually sleeps around 9pm. I really want her to sleep earlier but because she wakes up late she wont sleep earlier. Now its taking an hour to get her down for a nap so shes sleeping at 10pm. I need tips 😢

I would definitely wake baby up at 7am/8am one day to reset the schedule. They try and extend that morning wake window so baby is going down around 11/12. That way she should be ready for bed around 7/8pm you would hope!

My baby is currently a bed at 8pm and takes an hour to get to sleep. Depending when the nap is that can shift to 9pm and she can go to sleep at 10pm. Our schedule is currently this.

Wake up between 6.30am and 7.30am

Nap for 2.5 hours goes down between 12 and 1 most days.

Wake up is between 2.30 and 3.30 depending on when she went down.

Bedtime routine starts at 7/7.30 with the hope of going down at 8/8.30 depending on when she woke from last nap.

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
