15months old daughter clenching her leg

My 15-month-old has been clenching her legs together during diaper changes. I first noticed it about two months ago, but I didn’t think much of it. However, my mother-in-law just mentioned she observed the same and suggested I get it checked. My sister-in-law also brought it up two weeks ago and advised me to speak to the nursery, as she feels it’s not normal.
She was not doing this before nursery.
Now, I’m starting to feel concerned, especially since I’ve already been uncomfortable with different people changing her diaper at nursery. I’ve been meaning to bring it up, but I’m not sure how to approach the conversation.

Any advice on how to handle this?

P.S. I’m a first-time mom.

Please get her checked IMMEDIATELY. This is a huge red flag and not normal behaviour at all. Take her to your GP or to the A & E and get them to assess her, tell them all of this including when you first noticed her doing 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!

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.
