Anyone else's baby still scratching themselves in the face?

My poor boy has been teething like crazy (7 teeth already, 3 more coming through), and when hes in pain he'll scratch at his face and ears. This morning I got him from the crib and he managed this big scratch under his eye sometime in the night. The newborn mittens dont fit him anymore, and I don't want him to hurt himself. Anyone else's little one still doing this?

They do make the larger sized mittens, I would totally check them out! 6-12 & 12-24 months could fit 😊 also, keeping nails trimmed/rounded out really helps. 🙌🏽

I cut her nails every week so she can’t.

My son has very bad ezcema and scratches at his face a lot. We did have mitts on until recently when he got them off at night. Hopefully you can find a pair that fits your LO

have you tried Goumi mitts? They have all different sizes for infants which is great. They are amazing quality too 😊

Yes! My baby does this to self soothe. He has eczema as well and he goes ham on his face. We ended up getting him coveralls with the fold over mittens. Only thing that will stay on. I file his nails every other day

Yes my son still scratches himself too but I’ve learned rounding out the nails help

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.
