Is there a way to plan for a baby boy?

I'm asking because, I am a father of 3 girls, my most recent is 3 months old. I love them dearly, and I guess it is natural for any parent to have babies of both genders if God permits.

I've heard some old-wives tales, which could be true actually because my brother in-law apparently tried it and it worked! Haha! It has to do mainly with the position during and after intercourse. Something to do with lying down on your left or right side after intercourse. Thing is, it doesn't go into detail as to 'how' positioning effects the gender of the baby. So for now, I am not too convinced.

Also from the science point of view (which makes more sense), I think mainly on timing of intercourse i.e. to wait until the wife is ovulating because of the life expectancy of female and male sperm cells. Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is what I've read and heard from a few people:

The male sperms actually swims faster than their female sperm counterparts but the female sperms have a longer life expectancy compared to the male sperm.

So if a couple were to have intercourse prior to ovulation the female sperm will outlive the male sperm and hence eventually fertilize the egg and you get baby girls.

On the other hand if you time it right so that you have intercourse while you are ovulating the male sperm cells which swim faster will get to the eggs and fertilize them first and you get baby boys.

Diet-wise, I've heard some things on keeping the female's reproductive area as alkaline as possible to ensure the sperm stays alive longer.

Anyway, this is based on very little knowledge and just some reading I did when we were planning on our third baby, thankfully she is healthy.

I'd love a boy too though!

Looking forward to read comments on this.

there is probably nothing you can really do to increase your likelyhood of a boy. just keep conceiving. its 50:50. thats all.

i got 3 boys..no daughter

Hi guys,

How did you guys handle baby keep waking up at middle of the night? My dotter wake up every 1-2 hours and need her mom breastfeed her as well as rocking her sleep again.

It been happen since 8 month year old until now (12 years old). I hope to help my wife overcome this issue cos I always outstation.
My wife has given her very best efforts to make baby sleep but seem all method not working.

My last resort is to get baby consultant.

Any other idea?

12 years old? breast feed?

breast milk will get digested much faster so baby easy to be hungry. if its a real issue, can try use formula milk before sleep.

Haha. Typo bro. 12 months.
Hmm, i advise my wife to do so. But she still insist with breastfeeding.
