Kicking blanket off newborn

Did/is anyone else experience their LO kicking off blanket when lying in crib overnight despite blanket being tucked in sides etc? My LO has been doing this for nearly 2 weeks and she's only 7 weeks! .....think I need to invest in a sleeping bag I wake up most nights to find her out of the blanket/ she's travelled somewhere up to the top of the crib blanketless!

I didn't think activity like fast kicking legs would happen so quickly!...
I'll have to buy one too now I think!

We never used blankets and went straight to sleep sacks as I found they never stayed tucked in well enough! They fidget more than we think🥰

All the time. Switched to sleep sack at around 2 months

Sleeping bags are great from birth! You can pick them up from lots of places - the Sainsbury's and Asda ones are decent.

Yes. My lo still does it at 4.5 mo. She didn't like the sleeping bag either, but I found that if I swaddled her in the blanket rather than just tucking it in, most of it stayed on even with the kicking.

Yes I started to use the sleeping bags

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.
