Pacifier

Has anyone ever tried the method of placing a handful of pacifiers in your baby or young toddler’s crib so that they can find one in the middle of the night? If so, how did it go?

I do! He usually throws them out of his crib haha. But I try and hide them in the crack between the mattress and the side, and then put a blanket on top. I do this for both edges of the crib

This is the reason my baby sleeps through the night 😂 she will find one and put herself back to sleep 🙌🏼

My baby is obsessed with the itzy ritzy pacifiers with the little pink unicorn and I let her have it in the bassinet since she was 3 mos old and it’s the only thing that helps her sleep. She loves the feel of the unicorn on her face and hands. I keep 2 in the crib now so she can find them easier at night and it’s been a life saver since she can find them & put herself back to sleep. Not sure how I’m ever going to wean her off of them but for now it works great!

Yess this would be amazing if this could work!! I’m going to try it tonight and see what happens. do you think it’ll take him a few nights to realize it?

maybe but he should catch on fast! We always let her cry for a few minutes before we go in the room

Works wonders! My daughter will toss and turn sometimes and if she’s able to find the pacifier herself she’ll go back to sleep fast/without me having to get up

Absolutely! It’s a life saver

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

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.
