Love to dream swaddle, are they any good

My LO is nearly 6 weeks and never liked being swaddled the traditional way. He is not keen sleeping in his crib for long of at all some nights. Have tried lots of things. Have been co sleeping though finding it hard as I get really warm. Wondering if the love to dream swaddles would be worth a try. Just concerned wouldn’t like as he likes to suck his hands. Has any one had success. Know has he so young that he may just not feel safe in crib at this time

I purchased one of vinted to try but my girl likes to suck her hands too therefore I found it didn’t work well for her so chose not to use it.

These didn’t work for us as my LO likes to move her arms around and stretch in her sleep. We use a sleep sack so that her arms are out, she loves it and sleeps so much better with it!

My little one absolutely hates being swaddled has done since day one. It's really really strange. I've never seen a baby like it before. However, she does like the Tommy tippee sleep sacks because they have poppers where you swaddle them so you can either have them done up or not versus the love to dream ones which are just the arms already

Think I may just purchase a sleeping bag suitable for summer. Have been gifted a few for winter months and older. My LO is only just big enough to fit in one. Most seem to say 8/9lbs

My little one can’t sleep without it!! He loves the position and stops his startle reflex from being so bad also good tog ratings, material so soft!

Our son falls asleep much quicker in these and stays asleep longer. We bought one full price then got two more on vinted which were good as new

I got the Tommy tippee ones but they’re so short she needs longer ones already. She didn’t like the swaddle either. Some do some don’t

My little girl loves hers, been sleeping in it since day one pretty much and stops her hitting herself in her sleep and waking herself up, she can still suck her hands in it too (just needs washed everyday because of that)😂

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 🙂

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.

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.
