naps on the go

How do people manage to go for a day out with a little one who won’t nap in a pram? He’s dropping to one nap gradually now I think and moving the nap to the middle of the day I just don’t know how we will manage days out as he hates his pram so much!?

Wake windows

My 3 weeks old is sleeping well at night, generally 23:30-04:00 and then 05:00-08:00 but the past few days he’s had long periods of being awake during the day, sometimes staying awake for 3 hrs and then when he naps he tends to go down for a good 2 hrs. Is this normal? Everywhere I read online days short wake window...

Side sleeper

Are there any rules on waiting to sleeping on your side after a C-section? I’m a side sleeper but haven’t wanted to risk it just yet. My abdomen still feels slightly tender, especially the fat of my overhang. How long did it take you til you were comfortable enough to sleep on your side? x

Getting rid of the dummy 🫣

Any tips for getting rid of the dummy at this age (22 months)? Or do I go cold turkey? 😅 She loves it. She’ll shout out in the night “oh I’ve lost my dummy” so I have to go and find it 😅

Nap on way back from nursery

If your LO is only napping for 30 minutes at nursery then naps 5:30/5:40 - 6ish on the way back from nursery would you put them down at the same time 7/7:30 or push bedtime 3 hours from 6? Because then that’ll be a 9 o’clock bed time at least?

No more bottles

My son turned 2 in November and was still using bottles. After New Years I had a week off work so I decided no more bottles but still gave him milk in a sippy cup. He will not drink it out of a sippy cup at all. The first 2 days he gave a little fight but it was fine after that for 3 days. He’s completely refusing m...

3 month regression?!

My 13 week old has very suddenly gone from never having an issue falling asleep to really struggling to get to sleep and getting herself very worked up from being so tired. We could previously rock to sleep, feed to sleep, or put her down with the dummy and they would all work. Now she’ll fight everything, cry as so...
