What kind of mattress are you cosleeping on?

Doing research, the best mattress is a firm latex mattress, but they are SO expensive.

I have a memory foam mattress.

Firm foam 5” with a breathable sheet

Helix sleep has some reallllly comfy mattress in all different types of firmnesses

Firm mattress, not latex. But definitely not memory foam as it traps heat and molds to your body which can cause baby to suffocate or roll into you. I previously had a memory foam mattress before cosleeping and had to wait for the new one to be delivered before I could safely do so.

I have memory foam but we didn’t co sleep when my son was below 6 months though. As he got older I felt more comfortable doing it x

I believe I’ve seen a cosleep bedsharing account say that if you’re struggling to get the best mattress, to invest in a firm mattress topper. I’d double check that yourself with research, though!

I got a Plank Firm mattress and use the firmer side. I’ve also seen it suggested to get an extra firm latex mattress topper (2-3 inches thick) and use that as a floor bed or on top of your existing mattress (but I’d suggest testing the resulting firmness if combined with a softer mattress)

Sleep number! We can make it more firm when they’re in the bed and softer when they aren’t

Just something firm it’s really not majorly important you get the best. Just a firm mattress is all.

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.
