Transition to arms out

For those of you using the Love to Dream swaddles, have you transitioned to arms out swaddles yet? My daughter isn’t really showing signs of rolling but she’s growing out of the size small and I’ve lost the removable arms for the ones we have in the next size up 😬 given we will have to transition anyway I thought why not try it now.. but wondering if others have done it already and if it resulted in awful nights initially?

My little boy cosleeps now so no sleeping bag. Our nights remained fairly peaceful

We haven't yet, she's 15 weeks. She's not rolling and I don't want to risk it as all larger sizes we have are without arms!

We transitioned our boy to arms out last week for the exact same reason! He was absolutely fine the first night (actually slept a longer stretch than normal). He's since not done very well but that's because he's poorly with a cough so unlikely the swaddle. The only thing I've found is that now his hands get really cold in the night! Wondering if I should put some little mittens on him

My wee boy is still swaddled with arms in, he is 13 weeks. Scared to take arms out as he is sleeping through 🙈

my little boy was in love to dream swaddle up until around 2 weeks ago transitioned him into a sleeping bag and he actually sleeps longer now than he used to do he sleeps in 5 hour intervals

I'm just following this as I'm also curious how others have found it.

We tried putting our 14 week old in a sleep sack last night instead of the love to dream, but he ended up thrashing around so much he was disturbing his own sleep and not settling. Has anyone else found this and, if so, what did they do about it?! Not sure if its just something I need to wait for him to grow out of..

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.
