Huckleberry app question

So app says baby should be having 4/5 naps a day and her wake windows are approx 1.5 hours, but she will only nap for 30mins max 🙈..Does anyone know if it's ok to have more than 5 naps per day?

Some days my daughter will have 6 or 7 naps but they only like 15/20 mins! As long as eating & having wet nappies all is fine!
She’s currently on her 5th nap and will have at least one more today but the total of the 4 before this one was only like an hour 😳 x

I think it's more of a rough guide then a definite because each baby is different. I use the free version of this app too.

My little one cat naps for 30 minutes a few times in the day, but will do 1-2 longer naps too either out in the pram or in the next-to-me crib.

When I put him down in the crib I’ve been trying something I’ve read which is to ‘extend the nap’ to near an hour, so even if he wakes up 30/45 minutes in I will either try to soothe him if he seems unsettled or I’ll leave him to lie there cooing and talking to himself - only getting him out if he seems upset. It’s hopefully teaching him to be in there on his own, that it’s a safe place and eventually to fall asleep on his own too.

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. 🩵
