Toddler room

We currently have a sofa bed in our little girls bedroom. It’s come in very handy (especially long newborn nights and regressions), but she now uses it as a prop to help her climb in/out of her cot.

Can I ask if you still have armchairs or similar in your little ones nursery and whether I need to replace the sofa bed with an armchair or just get rid completely and free up space? My partner and I can’t agree whatsoever!

Thanks in advance!!

We did have a nursing chair but got rid a few months ago hadn’t needed anything had a few regressions and wished we still had something in her room as we do have the odd night where she wakes up then just ends up in our bed

I have a recliner chair which doubles as a climbing frame according to my little boy 😂

We have a single bed which we're actually probably going to keep indefinitely. It was really useful for every sleep regression, and we cuddle her to sleep on it every night before transferring her to her cot. She also likes playing in it, will tuck herself and her toys in as a game.
However, she has an enormous bedroom so there is plenty of room for it and to have it away from her cot so no danger of climbing in and out. She may have a big room, but our house is quite small with very limited storage, so it's also extremely useful to just have for underbed storage.
If we didn't have room for it I'd probably consider making a spot with big cushions large enough for me to be comfy too - for reading books with my daughter.

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.

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.

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?
