The other post got me thinking. At some point this is just straight sexual abuse. But at what age would you classify it as

Why would you even have sex infront of an awake child fullstop…
Yeh I’m not about that life.
Ok things happen… you might get walked in on ext but just STOP! cover yourself x

I don’t understand why it ever needs to happen to be honest. Babies sleep. Toddlers sleep. Yes there’s things like colic or special needs, but eventually the child is going to sleep. A baby isn’t going to be able to all of a sudden walk out of a bassinet or a crib. Go to another room or a bathroom and they will be fine. People use Velcro babies, Cosleeping, etc as an excuse.

I Feel like you should never have sex in the same room that an awake child is in.

So like birth probably? Lmfao

It is never appropriate for a child to be exposed to adult sexual activity at any stage of their development.

Since birth honestly...

Never awake! We stopped having sex full stop with our daughter in the room when she was 6 months and moved into her own room. We've shared a room with her on a bunch of holidays etc since then and absolutely not now, it gives me the creeps.

How are people even voting a year on this post🤮 you should never have sex with a baby/child awake in your room at any age ffs. How are people even thinking about sex or getting in the mood when you can literally hear your baby/child moving or making sounds

the lady in the other post seemed to think 16 months was okay so I made the ages older to see if others felt the same or it was a cultural thing or something.

🤣🤣🤣 girl it wouldnt be sexual abuse but serial exposure... We all need our sexy time even when the kids are up but we not doing it while they in the room. Too many oooooossss and ahhhhhhhh

Awake?! That’s so wrong…
I think it’s weird even if they’re asleep, how can you be in the mood and have sex with your baby in the same room 🤢

To the point I made in the other post…if you wouldn’t put it on the screen to watch for them, why would you give them a live show.

Any age..

Awake? Never.

We shared a room with our eldest till she was nearly 2 in a 1 bed flat but it was a huge bedroom and we had a screen divide for her area. I think we lasted till 1.

Baby doesn't want to be held but also won't self-soothe?

Alright, I need advice for my 6 month old. What do we do when our babies give all the sleepy ques and yet when you try to get them down for a nap nothing works?

I do a naptime song every time we are getting ready for a nap, nurse (which sometimes gets them to sleep), but when I put them down to sleep they start fussing, when I try rocking no matter what way I hold them is correct, I try just laying with them and this doesn't help either cause they just start crying.

I know they are trying to crawl right now and that makes sleep and naps super funky. I don't want to cry it out either. But omg this drives me bonkers and gets me sooo frustrated cause like idk how to help you go to sleep!😵‍💫🫠

Comforting a breastfed baby

I'm finding the only way I can soothe my 3 week old baby is by putting her on the boob! Others can rock/sway her and shes off to sleep no problem but she doesn't settle with me like this. I don't think she's clusterfeeding and she is full because she tends to bring up whatever she drinks during these comfort feeds. Any advice or is this just life with a breastfed baby? 🫠

Last question! Did anyone get Whooping cough and RSV jab on the same day?

I had to make an appointment today for both my Whopping Cough and RSV jab as I am told I am "behind" in these. So I have an appointment Thursday to have both done at the same time, has anyone else done this? I had a whooping cough jab last pregnancy, but not RSV.
