Arguing with a 14 month old

I swear this child tests me everyday. Trying to tell him not to do something because it’s unsafe and he starts screaming at the top of his lungs. Child if you don’t stop before I knock you over 😭🥴

my son is the same.. 😭😭

Yes!! And I’ll have something small I missed when I’m cleaning and she knows she isn’t supposed to have it because she wants me to chase her and then when I take it, she screams bloody murder and I’m sure the neighbors hear her😭

I find it's probably.... A better approach to give them something that they can have if they grab something that they can't have

Like if he grabs my phone.... Hand him his toy phone instead

he wants to climb bookshelves and furniture, he has his own table and chairs his size that he likes to flip upside down and push them around instead of using them. The amount of times I say “no” in one day is ridiculous

My son likes climbing things. We just watch him and make sure he's safe

We may try the not saying no approach

Show him spaces that are safer for things

There's a really good story reading I saw on YouTube.

Stay wild my child.

Mom teaching her daughter that there is a place for everything, better setting for climbing and other things that are less desired in " proper" settings

I am in the same boat. My little girl is 14 months as well. She likes to drag the coffee table and her playpen around the house. She tries to climb up the tv stand/bookshelf. Wants to play with and chew on everything but her toys. All day it is no, stop, leave that alone. I find giving her a replacement or playing with her helps.

Thankfully we’ve got a baby gate up to keep him in the living room but he’s still so bad 😂 We live with my mom and she won’t baby proof the rest of the house. Glassware/breakable stuff everywhere within reach of my thrower. Once we’re on our own he’ll likely have free reign over the house since I’ll be locking all cabinets 😂

We just give him free reign in certain areas with supervision

If we have to step away from him , he has a toddler playpen that only has toys in it

That and his crib are safe spaces if we have to step away from watching him

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.

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 🙂

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

Pumping advise

FTM to a 2 week old! I’m breastfeeding and then giving one formula bottle last in the evening before bed. I want to start expressing milk to give me some breathing room and also allow my partner to be more involved in feeding. I’m finding the idea of introducing pumping into my day quite overwhelming though. I don’t want to take milk away from my baby by pumping if he needs it during the day when being breastfeed.

Can anyone advise how I start pumping and when to do it? Thank you!

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.
