Baby keeps waking at 5.45am!

Sure I've seen someone post this before but not sure what the answer was. My LO keeps waking at 5.45am and won't go back to sleep. I'd love to push this back a little later! We've tried different bedtimes (between 7 and 8.30), we've tried extending wake windows as much as possible, we're on 2 naps a day...does anyone have any tips?!

5.45am sounds great!! Μine wake up between 4-5.30. Bed time is at 7pm. We may have to accept they are early risers. Sorry no help! ;(

Clocks go forward on Sunday so I wouldn't change anything for now, that always seems to mess timings up a bit x

My baby wakes around that time normally, even earlier most days! I do t think there's anything you can do about it tbh, its just what they do. As long as my baby sleeps all night I don't mind the early morning so much

No advice… but same boat. Also doesn’t take a full lunch nap. Nor long stints at night unless he’s in bed with me 🙃

If you’ve tried pushing bedtime later I don’t think there’s anything you can do. My baby has also started waking up 1-2 hours earlier and adjusting his bedtime doesn’t really help so I’m resigned 😂

I have a 9 month old and a 2.5 year old and both of them wake between 4:30am and 5:30am.. we have accepted that this is our get up time now 🤣 x

Thanks everyone! I'd be totally fine with it but he's doing a wake up around 1am ish at the moment too so it's tiring!!

I forgot about this! Willing to give anything a go! 😂♥️

@Trudy ooh this is interesting! I will try it!!

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!

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.

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.

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.

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?
