Thinking of baby no3 but people keep telling me having the 3rd just changes everything. It changes the dynamics? I know it probably does but is it honestly that bad?

Honestly our 3rd has been the easiest! Of course things change but it was the easiest transition, 1 to 2 felt 1000 times harder. I’m the most chill I’ve been as a Mum. Nothing seems to faze me this time around and I’m nowhere near as anxious/stressed as I have been previously. She’s truly just slotted into the family and our life. I genuinely couldn’t say one bad thing about the jump from 2 to 3 other than the fact that I don’t feel like my brain is ever really off because there is always something to think about haha. We’ve just been on top of getting into a routine that works and it’s been great x

Im on number 4 its just chaotic as they get older. The babies r the easy age. I got 12, 3, 2 and 6 month old. We in 3 bed house. 12 yr old got 1 room. 2 n 3 year old got another and baby is in with us. They do argue and fight alot especially 2 n 3 year old but that coz they close in age. Routine is good and the love it and in bed by 6/7pm everyday

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 🙂

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.
