Self settling for naps

My little girl has always fed or been bounced to sleep. She will fall asleep in the car if tired enough or in the carrier as long as it's quiet around her. She doesn't self settle otherwise and I'm finding ithe naps/nights so draining. I don't know if anyone is or has been in the same boat? Did you sleep train?

Same boat!!! And currently he's so clingy that unless he's got a boob, he won't sleep. So as soon as I take it out he wakes up

My baby has been the same way! We've done a little bit of sleep training and hes been starting to learn how to self soothe a bit with his pacifier, but we still have to rock him to sleep or fed him in the middle of the night

The ferber method! We'll let him cry for no more than 3-5 minutes depending and then rock him back to sleep or just pat his back while hes still laying in his crib. We kinda base it off his cries though, if he immediately starts screaming crying we'll go in right away to make sure hes okay but if hes just fussing a little bit thats when we give him the chance to get back to sleep himself.
Half the time he just needs help finding his pacifier. Most nights it still takes like 1-1.5 hours to get him back to sleep when he wakes up in the middle of the night though

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.

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.

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?
