I need help setting a routine for my daughter 😀

My baby girl is about 3 months (she’ll be 3 months on Halloween to be exact) and I’m not sure the right routine to set with her. She’s in her sleep regression era so I feel like there’s so many things I can do with her that I’m not taking advantage of that time. She’s also slept for the whole night last night (HALLELUJAH) and I want to keep those cycles going! I also am responsible for cleaning to home so I’m just struggling to balance everything loves. Any help por favor?

I would say make a basic schedule. Try to wake up around the same time, hygiene and get dressed, eat and have the baby eat, pick up your room in the morning after breakfast, after lunch nap, after dinner do a clean of especially the living room, kitchen, and bathroom. Go to bed around the same time.

Routine for health, e.g. baby sleep schedule and feeding is great, but if she doesnt feed at exactly that time and its not health concerning, dont stress that everyday isnt by the book. It's just not realistic. For chores and other stuff, please apply grace and not pressure yourself beyond necessity. A lot of the times we look at each day with an unrealistic long list of To Dos, only to feel defeated and overtired when we don't achieve everything. Set each morning ONE task, the bottleneck or key task to shift all other tasks, that you will accomplish.

Girl! Sleeping through the night at three months is amazing! I was also just as lucky and she still sleeps through the night. But routine wise I kept nap time and meals at the same time every day and that will adjust as she gets older but I have noticed a consistent sleep routine leads to less sleep regressions. I have a friend who has a baby the same age as my girl and I had a routine where she didn’t and her baby went through so many sleep regressions where my baby girl has only went through the 3 month sleep regression maybe it was just luck or maybe it was the routine.

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!

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.

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.

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.
