anyone getting any sleep?

my LO was SUCH a good sleeper (minus normal sleep regressions and teething) up until now. his new wake up is 4am and last night he had us both up from 1am till 6am 😭 i’m struggling to see if there’s anything i can do to help him! we both need more sleep at night! he has 2 really good naps during the day and goes down without a fuss. he never sleeps longer than 2 hours for a nap and doesnt nap after 4pm. he goes down to bed around 6/6:30 as any later and hes a right grump 🤣 please let me know if anyone else is struggling rn and any tips!!

My guess would be try a 30 minute later bedtime and shorten daytime naps slightly in the day. My little boy started waking a lot at night having previously slept through. We just trimmed his daytime naps slightly and this seemed to do the trick. I also find he needs a 4h wake window before bed now, rather than the 3hs in the day.

we hadn’t slept till our daughter was 7 months you name it we tried it. we eventually tried pampers sleep app £30 a month but it is worth it she’s sleeping from 7-7/8am now xx

The wake window before bed is meant to be the longest ... I know you've said he's a grump but could you try distracting him with something just to extend it before bed?

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.

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

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 🙂

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!

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.
