Hospital appointment and naps…

My little one has a hospital appointment on Monday (undescended testicle 😭😭) it’s at 11.10 and is an hour away from home. What would you do about naps, I’m after some advice. Should I just hope he gets seen on time and stretch him a bit longer for his nap or should I wake him up earlier so the nap is earlier? I might be over complicating this but I don’t want a screaming baby at an already stressful appointment xxx

I’d probably wake earlier and make sure he gets a good nap in before the appointment

Would he sleep in the car on the way there?

I would just go woth the flow, keep it as normal.
You may wake him early, make him nap and then they run late at the hospital and he is cranky.

Don't add more stress

It’s in central London so I’ll have to get the tube which was part of my quandary! As he does NOT like the tube or his ear defenders!! Xx

Ah right I get you. I’m not sure there’s much you can do maybe try adjust his wake times so he can nap before but it might just be a go with the flow imperfect day and that’s okay too

thank you, that’s reassuring to hear ❤️❤️ xxxx

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.

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.

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
