Is your baby laughing?

Baby is almost 6 months and I have only heard him do a small chuckle one time while watching the cat clean himself.

Sometimes when we tickle him or do raspberries on his tummy he will do a loud squeal but not really laugh.

I know, I know all babies develop differently but not sure if I should bring up at his 6 month appointment.

My 5 month old is laughing, but like you said, all babies develop differently. You can mention it but if that's the only milestone he hasn't hit yet then I doubt they'll be very concerned.

My son has been laughing for a month or so.

My baby is 6 months and she is not easily amused I’ve had her laugh a handful of times but I have to be doing something really funny otherwise she’s unbothered.

My baby has been laughing for many months now but my friends son is 8 months and she said he’s only laughed once

Some days my little guy is just moody and serious and some days he’s easy to make giggle. He could just be in a phase. Mine didn’t start giggle more and bordering on being a full out laugh till recently. Maybe the last two or so weeks. It couldn’t hurt to bring up and see what the doctor says! But I feel like you’re fine and on track!

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.

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

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.
