Is you LO in a sleepbag still or using a duvet?

What are you doing? And mamas who use duvet got any tips for transitioning and keeping the duvet on all night?

I wanted to transition to a duvet in the summer where it won’t matter as much if it comes off but he needs a lower tog bag now and it’s hard to find one suitable (and can’t choose between legs or bag).

My youngest doesn't keep hers on all night 🤣 but thankfully still sleeps all night fine if she's kicked it off

I've just put her a duvet on today. She's just gone down for a nap now but will most likely kick it off. She's getting too long for the 18-24m sleeping bag so though now would be a good time to change. It's a 4 tog which I've read is a good one to have for year round.

We still use a sleepbag. Our daughter is still in her cot and haven’t moved to a toddler bed yet. We’re having baby no2 in five days and my daughter currently sleeps 12 hours through so we aren’t wanting to change anything while her sleep is really good and it’s going to be a disrupting time for her anyway!

Nothing, just his pjs

that’s interesting! How warm is your house and what do you put your LO in? I would love to skip it all but I feel like he’d freeze 😂

I keep my heating on almost 24/7 and the thermostat sits at 24.5 overnight to be comfortable for him without anything and me under a thin blanket. My bedroom (in fact whole flat) has a nasty draft so as soon as it drops to 23/22 we are freezing!

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 🙂

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.

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.
