Early Morning Wake ups

My 13 mo usually goes to bed around 7:30-8:00pm and used to wake up 6:30am-7am. In the last month, he’s up at 5-5:30am— does anyone have any suggestions on how to adjust his schedule or is this normal for this age? Thank you!

So my little boy was like this last week for a few mornings.
So we capped his first morning nap to 30 mins as it was getting too long.
His schedule is
6:30am wake up
9-9:30 nap 1 (doesn't always have this)
1pm Nap 2 for about an hour/hour and a half

Then a nice long wake window before bed, normally 4 or 4:30 hours

Asked heal baby care app and sharing in case it helps:

"It's not uncommon for toddlers to experience changes in their sleep patterns, especially around this age. To help adjust your child's schedule, consider gradually shifting bedtime later by 15-30 minutes every few days until you reach your desired time. Additionally, ensure that the room is dark and quiet in the morning to encourage longer sleep, and try to maintain a consistent daily routine, including naps, which can help regulate their sleep cycle.

If your child is waking up too early, you might also try a gentle wake-up routine, where you stay with them until it's time to get up, reinforcing that it's still sleep time. Have you noticed any changes in your child's daytime routine or environment that might be affecting their sleep?"

I have shifted my child’s bed time by an hour and he still wakes up at 5:30! And we cosleep and I try to keep sleeping but once he’s up, he’s up and nothing will change that. I’ve learned not to bother trying. I put him down and let him play in the room.

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.

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.

When did you circumcise your baby?
If you DID NOT or DO NOT have a circumcised son DO NOT comment this post is not for you!

Did you wait a certain amount of time or have it done immediately?
Again respectfully, this is only for the parents who choose to do so.
opinions about how not necessary it is will not be appropriate for this post. Thank you in advance. 🩵
