Blankets, swaddle or bag

What are your babies in at night? I got the love 2 dream sleep swaddle thing but she hates it! Well, I think she hates the snuzpod more, it's just a bit big at the moment. What's keeping your babies snug and settled at night?

So ours would not settle at all in her next to me either, she looked lost in it. I brought the snuz basket upstairs so the noses basket to what you have, I’ve used a mom cosy white noise machine and the love to dream bag. It’s worked a dream for us last night and seems to have really settled her again tonight xx

I highly recommend a sheepskin comforter for in the next to me/moses/pram etc - really keeps these winter babies warm but is completely breathable too - worked wonders for my first born! Swaddle bag also worked great too - despite her protesting the first time we put it on, she got used to it very quickly and it’s much more peace of mind for mum than a blanket!

I’ll wrap her in a small blanket (not swaddled, I don’t know how to do that!) with a blanket over that. She settles and sleeps better in a mosses basket than the next to me

I've swapped over to sleep bags as my daughter didn't seem to like swaddles

We swapped next to me for the Moses basket as he wasn’t happy in it and just lay a blanket over him as he likes to have access to his hands to self sooth

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

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.

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!
