Naps

How many naps a day are your little ones having and how much in total during the day.
My little one wakes at around 7/8am and down between 8/8:30pm and has 3 naps a day, totalling in around 3 and a half to 4 hours in the day. Sometimes she may only have two naps though. We don’t follow a routine for naps, seems to change daily so I am wondering if I am doing something wrong

My daughter’s naps are quite sporadic, she tends to wake at around 9am and will be asleep between 9pm and 10pm. She tends to have between 4/5 naps and some days they’ll be 1 hour (ish) each, other days she’ll nap for 35 minutes each nap on the dot, I think this is possibly her version of the regression, she sleeps through the night and has since 6 weeks, I always notice that she starts to get grouchy/overtired at the 1 hour 45 minute mark of being awake!

We’ve been really routined with our boy, he was born right at the end of Feb, he sleeps 7pm-7am overnight. He then naps 3 times a day, so he’s awake 7-9/9.15, naps until 10, awake 10-12, naps until 2, awake until 4.15, 30 min nap, then awake at 4.45 so he’s sleepy enough to go down at 7. He’s roughly doing 2 hour - 2:15 wake windows before he gets grouchy. So he does about 3:15 of naps a day, from what I understand he is towards the top end of sleep need for his age though. Hope that helps!

3/4 naps depends if it’s a short or long one. Some days she does 2 2hour naps and 1 45 min nap. other days she’ll only do 45mins/hour naps and that’s when there’s 4 as she struggles to be awake longer than 2 hours. She’s needs a lot of sleep and short wake windows for her age 5.5months. She sleeps 10pm-10am as night time sleep. With one wake at 6/7 am. But bad nights she’ll be up 3/4 times.

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 🙂

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

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.

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.
