Baby should still be getting 16-20 oz of milk a day... whether through dairy foods or drink. So whenever it's right you can stop the bedtime bottle, but just be sure little still has milk during mealtimes:)

My boy still has a bottle before bed as well and he doesn't seem ready to stop it so I'm not going to force it any time soon. He likes it, and there's no rush! I've done a lot of research which says by 2 years you should hopefully be done with bottles but that's ages away!

Mine has one first thing on a morning yes I know it’s meant to be solids before milk but he won’t entertain a bottle before bed so it’s the only way know he’s drinking milk, he won’t drink it out of another cup, he uses a straw cup for his water. I do offer him other dairy products but he’s hit a miss with yogurts and cheese. I know they shouldn’t be having more than 32oz a day. Certain foods actually contain calcium too.

Whenever he doesn’t want it anymore! My eldest finally stopped having a cup of milk before bed when she started reception aged 4 and a half!

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

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.
