Late nap times

My little one keeps napping really close to bed time, around 7, and we usually put him to bed around 8:30/9. He usually sleeps for about 20/30 minutes, and I'm really worried it's going to affect his actual bedtime sleep if it keeps happening.

What can we do? He's obviously tired still when he wakes up and he only really naps for about 30 minutes at a time during the day, other than yesterday when he slept for 2 hours!

@Emma do you find your little one wakes up not long after they've gone down at that time though? I'm nervous about moving his bedtime that much earlier in case he then wakes up fully. My little one cries quite a bit and we're not sure what to do to keep him awake. What do you find works?

Our boy always wakes up 30 minutes after going down - can happen once or twice before he finally goes for the night. It doesn’t matter what time we do bedtime but we have started moving it earlier so it doesn’t ruin the entire evening and he is also tired then :)

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!

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.

When did you circumcise your baby?
If you DID NOT or DO NOT have a circumcised son DO NOT comment this post is not for you!

Did you wait a certain amount of time or have it done immediately?
Again respectfully, this is only for the parents who choose to do so.
opinions about how not necessary it is will not be appropriate for this post. Thank you in advance. 🩵
