Naps

So I need to vent. My mother in law watches my 7month old while I work 8hr days. She can get him to nap sometimes but it’s very rare that he sleeps longer than a half hour and then he cat naps. Well today he was up at 7, his normal time when I’m with him. He slept maybe 20 min all day long and it’s now 8 and he’s still fighting sleep. Could it be the cake she fed him or too much juice? Like it’s so frustrating. We introduced baby food so now she thinks he can have every and anything. Ugh

Set boundaries as that isnt acceptable and I'm fuming for you, but that might not be the issue. Sugar highs aren't really a thing.

What would cause him not to sleep that long though. I think he was so over full I feel so bad for him 😢 we have told her a couple of weeks ago to slow down on the food he still needs his milk as his main source of nutrients because she would brag that he already has formed poop. Like lady he shouldn’t have that formed of poop for being breast fed!

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.

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.
