Anyone try no naps 😅

My son was refusing to nap yesterday and pushing towards 3:30. He normally naps around 2 hours so I didn’t let him sleep. He went down for the night easy at 8:30 and woke up at 8 this morning. He never sleeps through! I feel bad keeping him awake but man we both needed the sleep. I feel like he’s too young to not nap.

Some kids are low sleep needs. Keep offering the nap, but it's his job to take the nap. You can't force him to sleep

it looks like you may be expecting too much overnight sleep in addition to his nap

if waking at 8 at this age nap at 230/3 is appropriate especially if low sleep needs like Charlotte mentioned

He normally sleeps 10 to 11 hours at night and about 2 to 3 hours in the day. But going to sleep is always a fight. I stopped expecting 12 hours over night a few months ago because he needed less sleep. I will keep offering the nap though. He’s still young.

I would try 6/5 or 6/5.5 with a 90 minute nap

I’ve adapted quiet time from 12:30-2:30 since I also notice she fights her nap. She’s stays in her crib and she will either sleep the whole time or would sleep an hour of that.

We don’t have our son on a sleep schedule. Some days he naps n others he doesn’t. Kinda depends on what he’s done for the day. It definitely helps keep him asleep later in the morning when he skips

You could try no nap gradually. Do the nap and night sleep 30 min after normally for 3 days. Then, 30 min after that for another 3 days. Do this until your toddler goes to sleep at 10-10:30. Finally don't take nap. I hope it could help

Wow that’s amazing. Our son is low sleep needs so he sleeps less than 10 hours at night but naps 2 hours during the day. We want to start capping his nap so that he shifts back to sleeping 10 hours overnight.
He’s definitely not ready to drop a nap though.

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
