Numbers

I know it’s normal for kids to miss numbers and stuff but my daughter can say 2,3,4,6,8
She says 2,3,4 on her own (because of the jungle book song that got hup,2,3,4 😂) and says 6 & 8 while I’m counting with her. I’ll pause so she can try and say it first and she says them at the right time but she doesn’t attempt any other numbers.
I’ll count with her at any opportunity. She loves counting toys, stairs sometimes biscuits and stuff. She gets upset if I don’t count the stairs EVERYTIME 😂
but how else can I help encourage numbers? Particularly number 1 lol anytime I say the number 1 she says the number 2

When you give her her drink,one cup of water, one juice. Fetching her coat one coat, if she has a nursery bag, one bag. Sounds like your already doing an amazing job.

My son is exactly the same he can practically count up to 10 except number 1 😂 chances are your toddler will know it, just storing it for later!

I think it's because when we have multiples of something we always count the multiples but when we have one of something we don't tend to. That's why I think saying one cup, one coat, one seat etc helps.

Mine counts to 10 but ALWAYS misses the number 7! Most of my friends little ones are the same with 7 so I wonder if it’s a difficult number or something haha! Someone pointed out that it’s 2 syllables and all the rest are 1 so that could be. Sorry this comment is no help at all, it’s just interesting me haha!

My son can count nearly to 30 but objects to the number 15. Point blank refused to say it but leaves the gap for it 😂

Mine always skips five 😆

well this has well and truly proved my hypothesis wrong 😂

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.

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

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 🙂

Pumping advise

FTM to a 2 week old! I’m breastfeeding and then giving one formula bottle last in the evening before bed. I want to start expressing milk to give me some breathing room and also allow my partner to be more involved in feeding. I’m finding the idea of introducing pumping into my day quite overwhelming though. I don’t want to take milk away from my baby by pumping if he needs it during the day when being breastfeed.

Can anyone advise how I start pumping and when to do it? Thank you!

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.
