Nap time yes!! She only contacts sleeps but goes to bed at night starting as contact then goes into cot xx

I am trying to get him to sleep in his bassinet but then we wakes up all upset. We have a cosleeping bassinet but still no luck!
How long is she sleeping at night

Baby wraps/carriers are the best. They grow so fast! Enjoy this time! Also the fourth trimester it’s typical for babies to still want to be on or near their mother for sleep as you have been their home for the last 9-10 months. It’s very natural 💗💗

I love it just going to make it really hard when I go to work next week

My first was like this and it wore my butt out I put her in the BOPPY with a Muslim blanket wrapped around it so she wouldn't fall through. Slapped her in a swaddle and put her in our bed so I could rest my hand on her while I slept and she was happy just with the physical contact and she was on a giant pillow so we didn't roll over on her

my little guy refuses to sleep anywhere i’m not which was a huge struggle at first but i’ve accepted it. as long as you safe sleep it’s alright! they just want to be on mama

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 🙂

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.

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?

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.

When did you circumcise your baby?
If you DID NOT or DO NOT have a circumcised son DO NOT comment this post is not for you!

Did you wait a certain amount of time or have it done immediately?
Again respectfully, this is only for the parents who choose to do so.
opinions about how not necessary it is will not be appropriate for this post. Thank you in advance. 🩵
