Sex - when? Where? How???

I'm wondering when, where and how you're having sex (if you are) if you have a baby.

Some context: our baby is 3.5months old. She sleeps very well, but in the bed with me (not looking for cosleeping advice or debates here, I know the guidelines and follow them).

My husband sleeps in a separate bed (to reduce the cosleeping risks). We have a bedside cot but she rarely sleeps in there because as soon as we put her in there, she wakes up. For now, it's all working out pretty well. She sleeps all night pretty much, and both me and my husband get a pretty good night's sleep.

My question is when and where do you have sex if you're in a similar situation?

We can't seem to make it happen because she always wakes up, despite being a very good sleeper at literally any other time 😅

What about trying to go to his room? 😜

What about getting rails for the bed. Or have a floor bed so if she rolls off, she won't hurt herself.
And then when she sleeps, Sneek out of the room and have sex anywhere in the house.

Me sleeping with my little one did create tension with my man. He missed the "us time". And I wish I had the bed rails from the beginning. The past months my bed is on the floor. And it really gave me free time.

Water stuck in dummy

Hi just wondering if anyone has any suggestions on how to get water out of the dummy teat? I sterilised in boiling water and when I took them out the teats all have water in them. One is a tommee tippee, another is a mam and another is a Tesco one if that makes any difference. Thanks!

What the heck is going on with these night wakings?

My baby is 8 months and a pretty good sleeper. We had the 4 month regression at 4.5 months and maybe skipped the 6 month one or it merged who knows. But now for the last 3 days he has woken up around 2am and taken an hour to fall asleep. Tonight /last night it took 2 hours. Milk doesn't settle him the only thing that worked was putting him in his pram and walking around the house (on my freshly mopped floors might I add lol). Me and his dad are struggling to settle him and usually I can settle him. I'm wondering what the heck is going on.?!!!!! It all started with him waking himself up trying to crawl in his cot.
