I refuse to wake my baby up from a nap, like why would I when I can enjoy my own little nap 🤣

Yep! 🙋🏽‍♀️ My toddler is currently still napping, I should wake her but I'm too comfy on the sofa myself 🤣

My girl literally just woke up! She usually does 1-1.5hr but slept for 2.5 today, must be something in the air!

Yep. We let our little boy sleep for 2 hours, knowing it is probably going to mean that he doesn't go down easy at night, but at the same time, we really need a break when he's been going for 6 hours straight 😅

I’m not feeling my best today, especially after LO was awake for 3hrs overnight 😭 we both had a sleep in this morning, which lead to wayyyy to late nap (which I cut to 30min), and I’m hoping a not so late bedtime. I’m working tomorrow so hoping for a good night 🤦‍♀️

I always say never wake a sleeping baby, if they are hungry or want feeding they will wake up, means I can nap or get jobs done around the house x

Oh yeah 😅 but sometimes I just need that moment of quiet 😂

Yeah I hate waking my boy up. I’ve usually always let him sleep as much as he wants. Your tea and biscuits sound lovely, enjoy!!!

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 🙂

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.

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

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.
