Mom’s that didn’t do sleep training nor
cosleeping.

Is there a light in the end of the tunnel? Am I ever going to sleep through the night again?

My baby already sleeps in her crib in her room. But no matter what I try, she doesn’t give stretches longer than 4 hours. She did for a couple of nights, but as soon as she hit 11 months that was gone.

Cosleep did not work for us because she wasn’t comfortable and neither was I. And I do not like the idea of sleeping training.

I hear giving them a good meal before bed helps.

My kid still wakes up at least twice a night to dream feed and gets 9-12hrs of night time sleep.

I'm the same, hated co sleeping and didn't sleep train really. There is a light. My 11.5 month old only wakes once in the night now from 7pm-530am he'll wake around 1am for a quick nurse then back in his cot. You'll get there x

Just want to say I feel your pain! Twins and never did sleep training and they are in their crib. They are waking maybe once now and at least one of them sleeps through fairly often even with a wakeup (finalllyyy... It was twice a night for a long time and worse some days).
They do naturally figure it out and I couldn't do the cry it out method even on the worst of days.... I still rock them back to sleep. I know there is light at the end because of my first ❤️ I will say if they wake and want to feed, make that bottle/feed shorter/smaller because they most likely don't need it it's just a comfort thing and ends up being more habit than anything. Also I put them down with a bottle at bed and naptime

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.
