Sleep regression + inmunisations

Hey!

My little one is 16 weeks and going through full on sleep regression this week. Used to wake up only 3 times overnight and sleep on his cot...now wakes up pretty much every hour and hates his cot...

He has his 16 weeks inmunisations this Friday coming. He had some temperature and fusiness with previous ones but was able to sleep it off. I think that will be hard on his current sleep pattern.

Anybody has been on a similar situation? How did they go about it? I am wondering if it will be too much for him.

Any tips are welcome!

Thanks :)

Was in a similar boat but the 16week jabs made her sleepy enough to get some real sleep and reset the overtiredness she had accumulated a bit

We’re in week 6 of regression waking every 1.5-2 hours. The day of his jabs he actually slept through that night! Back to 1.5-2 hours night after though. X

The sleep regression coincided with our jabs and thankfully only lasted just over 2 weeks although at the time felt like a life time 😅 thankfully and I don’t know if it was just a coincidence but the 16 week jabs gave him a temp which he didn’t have the first time round, but wiped him out and seemed to be the end of the hourly wake ups overnight! All I can say is hang on in there and I promise there is an end 😅 just keep to your routine as best you can and hopefully your little one will slide right back in to it! X

Thanks for your comments! I'm crossing my fingers hoping it is not too bad haha 🤞

hey 👋🏻 fancy seeing you here! We are 8 months in and still waking every 2 hours if not more. The imms didn’t make any difference but I think the calpol helped with sleep. Fingers crossed they go ok for you guys x

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.

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 🙂

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.

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?
