No idea I'm still doing it. 🤣 It's working for us for now but I'd be interested how you stop too.

We used my husband to do bedtime. I fed him in another room then my husband got him to sleep however he could - patted, rocked etc. The worst part was that the boob magic to get him back to sleep in the middle of the night no longer worked 🤣

I actually thought that if I stop feeding to sleep at night then she would not wake up as many times as she does 🫠 we have like 4-5 wakes at night and she just feeds to sleep every time, it's exhausting

😄 does your baby sleep through the night?

We now sleep through the night about 70% of the time. I also started only feeding after a set time. So initially after 1 then pushed it later and soothed back to sleep the other times

I'd say we are at about 80% of the time sleeping through the night. He's been teething so sleep has been more disruptive the last few weeks. Xx

For us, it just happened naturally, he would unlatch when finished and that was that 🤣

Also feeding to sleep and no plans to stop. I can roll away when she’s done and as we bedshare I tend to just read next to her and then my husband joins us to read also.

Commenting mainly to follow but we didn’t feed to sleep for the first 13 months but after going down to 1 nap she kept falling asleep now all of a sudden it’s our norm! It also coincided with me going back to work and some major separation anxiety. I will always feed at night, I’ve just accepted that I have to be around for now. But during her nap if I’m there I’ll feed but if not she goes down quite happily with my partner holding her! So I guess that’s the way to transition but I’ve tried just holding her too but she expects milk from me and she just screamed there was Jo way she was going to sleep. It would be good not to feed before nap mainly for consistently and to stop the engorgement! I only have one working one so I get it double!

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!

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.

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 🙂

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

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.
