Weaning off milk at night

My daughter is 18 months old and still has two feeds of milk overnight. One at 11pm and then another at 2am. We’ve managed to reduce it down to 4oz but can’t seem to remove it completely. If we don’t give her the bottle she screams so loud and works herself up that much she can make herself sick (while also waking her big sister). My eldest dropped the night feeds by 13 months quite easily.

She eats really well during the day but is a late walker, she still bum shuffles but I think she may begin walking soon.

Any advice welcome 🙏 do I just ride it out until she starts walking?

No help unfortunately but we have a Feb baby and she still feeds twice in the night. I honestly think it’s habit now but she’ll randomly only wake once or sleep through some nights. Like your LO my daughter works herself up to the point where she’s hysterical. She now screams ‘milk’ at the top of her voice. I don’t know how we’ll stop the night feeds other than wait until she stops waking.

Did your last sentence mean to say walking or waking? My LO has been walking since she was 13 months and it hasn’t made any difference to her night wakings that’s all

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.

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!
