Anyone else?

My LO is nearly 19 months and still breastfeeds. She has 1 when she wakes, 1 to go down for a nap and 1 for bed. She still feeds are 3 times a night. Admittedly, I find it the quickest and easiest way to get her back to sleep. We also co sleep.
Just wondering if anyone else LO is the same? As I’m starting to worry that she is still feeding a lot for her age. She’s been going through big changes recently as myself and her dad have separated so I’m sure a lot of it is due to comfort. But I’m just wondering if this is still normal at this age? I’m not necessarily bothered about stopping BF as I feel that it’s still what she needs at the moment, especially with everything that’s going on.

In the exact same boat. My little one is forever on the boob … morning, snack, bed time and multiple times throughout the night. I am really trying to stop this year. For my own sanity !

I find the nights the hardest! If I battle to settle her without the boob, she gets herself into a right state and then ends up fully waking herself up every time! I know cosleeping probably doesn’t help with that but I feel like that’s another battle in itself!

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 🙂

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.

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.

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.
