19 month old wake windows?

Hi everyone, I have a 19 month old baby boy and I’m just curious to know what everyone else’s babies wake windows are that are of a similar age ? My little boy is fighting sleep so much the last month or so (not fighting naps as much, worse at bed time) and I’m just wondering if I need to extend the wake window (but I already feel like his wake window is long. He usually is about 5 and half hours before bed time) or I’m thinking should I shorten it and he’s maybe overtired. I have no idea but it’s taking what once used to take 10-20 mins to get him to sleep now a lot longer haha any help/advice or reassurance is greatly appreciated :)

My kid wakes up from 8-1130a and sleeps from 11:30-230/3. And we’ll play eat bath and bed at 7-730 she’s two. She did have a bad patch around 20 m where she wouldn’t take a nap or take a 30 minute nap for about a month.

We also, put her in her bed, and self sooth herself. she has always been good about going to sleep by herself and not needing anyone.

We have always done a 7.30-8pm bedtime. But recently hes been taking aaaggges to settle. Sometimes even has another bottle of milk before he actually settles. Like tonight i put him to ned at 8pm and hes just shut his eyes now (9pm). He will have his nap no bother about midday for 2-3hrs but bedtime has been difficult

His wake windows vary hugely as he doesn't have a consistent wake or nap time, but he goes to sleep at 7:30/45 every night. I don't let him nap past 2:30 if he's having a big nap, ie. if he falls asleep at 1 then 2:30 is fine but if he falls asleep at 11:30 then he needs to be awake by 2 in to be sleepy enough for bedtime, does that make sense? 🤔

Of late -

Bed between 7:15/7:30. I take her in and place her in the cot and leave her.
Wakes around 6:30/7.
Naps around 12-2.
Yesterday was 12:30-3 when I woke her.

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.
