Wtf is going on

Been trying to get little boy down since 7pm.. it's now 1:30am!!! Every time I think he's asleep and put him down (in my bed as we co-sleep) he wakes up crying. Treats the five minute cat nap as a full nap and kickstarts another full wake window. WTF is he doing I'm so tired... 🥱

Just going through the same tonight! Can’t help but looking to see some tips 🥲

We've been going through this the last few nights too. Last night she was awake between 12-3am 😫 I have no idea why

Mines the same tonight keeps waking me up over and over , I've got to be up for work at 6.30 and he's got nursery. I'm going to be nackered and he's going to have an awful day at nursery. Also so fed up of being the only one with sleepless nights while my other half gets off Scott free.

Omg worst night ever 😭😭😭

Best of luck to you! Sounds like sleep regression is hitting you hard! Xx

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 🙂

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.

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!
