14 months old getting frustrated

Hi, does anyone else's baby get really frustrated when they can't do something? Like an outburst of frustration? Is this normal? My 14-month-old was playing with a stacking toy but couldn't separate the blocks and became very frustrated. To the point of verbalising and body actions to show frustration. Calmed right...

Crib pants

We have my babies crib at the lowest setting due to her climbing out a couple months ago, we reverted to a toddler bed railing allowing her to climb in and out but we turned it towards the wall because it was messing with her sleep schedule (she’d rather climb out and stay out then stay in bed) but she found a way t...

Naps

My 10 week old twin girls have a hard time staying asleep for long during their daytime naps, they sleep well at night. Right now they eat 5oz of formula and attempt to sleep for about 4 hours and they wake on their own for meals. At night they get their midnight feeding and then they are good the rest of the night ...

Am I overreacting?

My mom had plans to come over and watch my girls for a couple hours while I get some things done but she also made plans with a friend for later in the day. The morning took a weird turn and we ended up taking our one year old to the ER (she’s totally fine) so my mom left work an hour early to watch our 2 year old. ...

Dummy Sterilising

Maybe a bit of a stupid question, but if you sterilise a dummy and it's case, then close it up, how long is it considered sterile for? Online everything says only 24 hours, so does that mean I need to resterilise every day even if it's not come out of the case?

Pumping after breastfeeding to increase supply

My baby isn’t latching on properly and not gaining weight as much as should be. I want to pump to increase supply but have found that my baby feeds very often due to not draining the whole milk so sometimes I’ll pump and he’ll want a feed and then gets stressed because there isn’t any milk left. How should I pump ...

Sleep cycles and wake windows. Need a simple explanation of what they are! I have recently been reading a lot about baby sleep cycles and people tracking their wake windows. I feel like I’m abit lost on what they are?

I know it sounds silly that I’m not fully understanding them. Baby is a great sleeper at night mostly , and we follow the same routine mainly to get to sleep through and in the morning. But for the rest of the day, I follow her lead on things when she’s tired. ( I try to prevent any further naps after 4.30 pm if ...
