2nd degree tear

How long did it take for your 2nd degree test to feel better? I’m 3.5 weeks ppl and mine is still tender.

Mine was still burning when I peed at 5weeks. I’m currently 6weeks and I started bleeding again so I’m unable to tell what my stitches feel/look like.

I believe they all dissolved by week 5. But with the new skin it would burn when my pee would go in that direction lol

I was still in pain for 10 weeks with my first but it was all fine and healing

I felt better around 4/5 weeks - had burning pee, tenderness, pain the first 2 weeks and starting the 3rd week only had tenderness. I did the sitz bath at least 1-2 times per day, peri bottle every time I peed, and used breathable pads and underwear.

Hope you feel better soon!!

My pain stopped after 2-3 weeks but I made sure to clean with warm water after the bathroom each time and spray the earth mama perineal spray each time. Also if you can go without a pad for a little while each day so the stitches can dry

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.

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.

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 🙂

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
