Nursing

Who else is still nursing on demand? On demand works best for my son an I but, I see so many people with scheduled nursing (nothing wrong with that) I just want to make sure I’m not the only one who feeds on demand.

You’re not alone, we still do it only on demand. Mine went down around 9 months and now he seems to ask for it more often🤭

I stopped breastfeeding at 10 months. I miss it, but I am starting to feel like myself again 🥹. Weldone mama

First one I did a schedule. I think I should’ve done on demand. My second, the nurse said on demand is best. My second guy never cries. But the first is super sensitive.

It’s really about what works for you, as long as their being fed 😁

Also, my 3 yo is still on boob at morning and nighttime. And if he gets hurt during the day. It literally hurts me saying no. I don’t do it in public anymore though cuz he’s huge 🥲

We’re on demand but he has kinda put himself on a schedule. Only asks for it before naps and bedtime. Still wakes up a few times throughout the night to nurse too. He’s teething now and I spent my entire evening tits out lol it’s all he wanted 😂

Of on demand works for you and your babe keep doing it! Some mamas schedule if they are trying to wean or if the kid is at daycare and is on a schedule there. Brestmilk is still amazing for you child no matter their age so if it's working for you, keep it up!

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.

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

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 🙂

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!

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.
