Lowering cot

We've just lowered babies cot to the lowest setting so he can't jump out but now whenever I put him in there once he's asleep, he wakes up 🫣
He used to sleep in there from about 7pm till 11pm then he's up 2 hourly so sometimes we co sleep from 11pm.
I now don't know what to do, I can't go to sleep with him at 7pm 🫣 what are other people doing?

I co sleep but once I put the kids to bed, I leave the room until I go to bed a couple hours later
We do have bed rails though, so they can’t fall off the bed in their sleep

Maybe that is an option for you

Sleep trained. Baby sleeps in his own bed in his own room and only wakes once or twice to feed overnight now.

My kids sleep alone in their rooms from when they are a couple of months old. Sorry I am not any help but maybe stick to having them sleeping alone. If you don’t mind at this age I would say find a way to sleep train. It’s so much easier when they are younger.

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.
