Does your 6 month olds sleep through the night??

My LO is nearly 7 months(next week) she still wakes 3/4 times at night. Is this normal? I have some friends and their LO’s sleeping through.

Honestly every baby is different, I was so lucky in the first few months she slept through every night and only just recently she's waking up around 2am and then 5-6am. It's really upset me as when she's waking up that once before the morning she's not even hungry but drinks 2ozs and shes on 7oz's. She won't accept a dummy so I can't even soothe her that way the only way I can soothe her is giving her milk but just feels like a waste of 5oz but I always make up the full 7 just incase. I'm just hoping this is a phase because I was planning on putting her into her brother's room as we don't have room in our bedroom for her big cot as she's in her next to me at the moment.

Completely normal for babies to wake multiple times in the night. Most adults wake in the night 🤷🏼‍♀️

Mine is 6 months and wakes up once or twice in the night but a few weeks ago he was up every half hour. I find putting him down and waking him up at the same time every day helped. Also making sure he was full before bed I do a dream feed 2/3 hours after he goes down I find that helps to. Also I wait a little before picking him up as sometimes they look as if they are walking but send themselves back to sleep as they are just in active sleep

We’ve never had more than a 4 hour block and that happened once! We are lucky if we get one 3 hour block. Usually up every two hours

We are still on up every 2 hours for a feed. He’ll do a random 3 hour stretch every so often. I won’t lie, I’m pretty tired 😴 my daughter was the same but at least I could nap when she napped first time round.

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 🙂

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.

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.
