What do you do when they wake up from a nap too early?

When they won’t go back down so they are just a grizzly baby? How are you dealing with this? This nap regression is horrific. I get no time for myself because the naps are so short. Then when he is awake he’s tired and miserable.

Is baby delayed?

I’m worried that my 9 month old is not meeting milestones. She can sit up but can’t crawl. Can’t wave or clap hands yet. Babbles away and is always happy. Are the milestones being met for her age?

Stopping breastfeeding

Hi! I’ve gone cold turkey and stopped feeding my 19M old. I’m gutted about it but it was time! Any tips for engorged boobs? I’m struggling! I’m hand expressing a bit to relieve the pain but they’re very sore! Just gone to get some cabbage too so will try that! Any advice welcome 🤗

Sofa bound

Anyone else at 6wks and feel like all you’re doing is feeding and having contact naps with baby? I’m hoping it’s because of a growth spurt and I’ll be able to get out and about again soon 🤞🏻

9 week old fighting sleep

The last few days my little man fights his sleep so much, he gets himself really upset and will fall asleep to wake back up again a few minutes later. Is it normal at this age for them to fight sleep so much

Is your baby crawling or trying to crawl?

My boy is late August baby and doesn't seem to be interested in crawling, still hates tummy time. He sits unassisted and can go on sitting for an hour happily playing, but if he's on his back he just won't bother. I know he can roll but decides not to. Not quite sure whether I should worry or he'll just decide to mo...
