Sleep more eat less

My 11 week old boy seems to have slept more and drank less milk yesterday and today, he seems normal in himself when he is awake and has no temp. Has anyone else had this with there babies? Is this a phase?

Picture from Sunday

We started implementing "quiet time" as our son is starting to skip naps randomly. We know eventually his naps will disappear (he 2.5) so while he's still mostly napping we decided to introduce it now, especially since our second is due in June. Between 12:30 and 1pm we take him to his room with toys and a book or 2...

It has the 3 stage insert: head rest, body piece and the wedge, however I can’t seem to get a good fit???

How to tackle bedtime alone with 2 kids

Hi, I have a 3.5yr old and a 5 week old. I’m wondering how to tackle bedtimes with 2 when it’s either my husband alone or me alone.

For those with lots of young kids, can you give me your realistic routine?

We currently have a 3 yo and 1yo. With my birth control, it could take between 6m-1y to regulate my cycle enough to conceive. For those of you with a 4,2, baby; how it is realistically?

Baby won’t nap 😭

What is everyone doing if your baby won’t nap during the day. Some days he naps well and others he just won’t. I’m exhausted 😭😭 all I want is some time to myself to relax and everytime I try to put him down for a nap I look over and his eyes are wide open. He will shut his eyes like he’s tired for 2 minutes then…

Reduction in nap time

Did anyone else see a reduction in nap length around 13 weeks old? My LG the past two days is barely napping a total of 3 hours in the day over 5 naps. The naps are only lasting 30 minutes. I seem to remember my son doing this and it didn’t resolve until he could consolidate his sleep at around 6 months. These a...

No sleep regression?

I don’t think I have had any sleep regression yet? Her sleep definitely has changed since hitting four months, but she’s still sleeping through the night. As soon as her two feeds are done she is always back asleep in her bed. Do I keep waiting for it or just consider myself lucky this time.

Speech

Is anyone else's little one not talking.. I'm a bit worried, my son does a lot of vocal noises and whining but no speech. His nursery have raised they are worried about his speech as he should be talking more, we talk to him loads at home, ask him questions, use simple language but nothing 😔 x

10 month review and breastfeeding

I asked for advice about stopping breastfeeding for when she's around 1 and they suggested I already start cutting out feeds until I'm basically just morning and night and offering snacks/water in place of her other feeds. Is anyone breastfeeding at a similar pace already? Or anyone trying this?
