Mine woke at 6. Can be as early as 5/5:30 though. First nap 9:00-10:30 second nap 3-4, bedtime at 8 x

Mines getting up 5.45 at the mo and starts his first nap somewhere between 9.30 (at home) or 10 (if at nursery). 7pm bedtime

Mine sometimes wakes at 5am so I would put him down for a nap around 8/8.30am

Mine sleeps normally 7-7 sometimes 6:30 but only has one nap during the day , no matter how hard I try he won’t have a second nap x

5.30-6 these days with 2 naps, usually 9ish down for 1st and 1-2pm down for 2nd. Bed time is 7.30. BTW we have realised that no matter what time he wakes up from his last nap (ranging from 1.30-4), his bedtime is non negotiable otherwise he gets soooo grumpy. It’s not like the baby stage when awake window mattered more. So I guess just follow baby’s cues for naps and as long as you have a good routine wake/bed times it’s ok

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.

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.

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
