Nursing to sleep

Has anyone had success at stopping nursing to sleep? It’s been 9 months of me being the only person to be able to put her to sleep and I just can’t do it anymore. I’m at my breaking point.
I’ve seen all the suggestions of self soothing and what not but mine just won’t. She just screams her head off until I pull out the boob again.

If it's me he needs to nurse to sleep. But dad can rock him or just hold him to sleep. I'm not sure why but if I need a break I ask my husband but for the most part I personally don't mind since he falls asleep pretty quickly and I don't mind the snuggles. But I do get it.

same! I think they see us and expect the boob

I understand and I know that it is a lot my daughter won't go to sleep in the same room as me if she's not nursing if she's in another room she'll go to sleep that's fine with someone else, but I have started to put her in the crib when she goes to sleep yes it is nursing to sleep but it's kind of also developing an independence as well. I guess when I'm trying to say is little steps towards making the change of nursing to sleep and you got this I honestly do know it can be a lot.

I gave her a bottle at bedtime instead of the boob. And it worked. But now I have to pump every night.

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!

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 🙂

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.

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.
