Floor beds

My 2.5 year old is currently still in his cot, but we are wanting to move him into his next bed. Would this be a floor bed? Can anyone recommend anything? Or tips on the transition 🙏🏼

My son's in a mid sleeper (although the rules say age is not appropriate ). I put an extra guard rail on it so he isn't able to roll out at all. It was for storage space and has worked a treat. Under bed storage/fun little tunnel. Two deep drawers and a shelf :)

My 2.5 year old is in a standard single bed, floor beds are known to harbour mould so honestly not worth the hassle 🤢

I have a single mattress on the floor. House gets well ventilated w me opening his windows and blinds up all the way every day so no mould under his mattress even though it’s on the carpet

We moved our girl into a single floor bed when she was one, we added a cot rail, then took the cot rail off just before Christmas. It was the best thing we did her quality of sleep massively improved.
We’ve never had a problem with mould, remember to just make your child’s room safe like attaching furniture to the wall, just Incase your child wakes up and you’re not in there.
We’ve also just took the 1 side cot rail off my 1 year old cot (it turns into a cot bed) we put the mesh cot side on it and she’s also sleeping soo much better

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.

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.

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
