1 year old not sleeping at night

My 1 year old has been really upset going to bed at night for the last two weeks. His naps during the day are great and he goes to sleep himself after a few minutes. But once he’s put to bed in the evening, he screams the place down. Or he might go to sleep and wake up an hour or so later and won’t settle for hours. Not sure if this is the 12 month sleep regression?

Might he be ready to drop a nap? Or for them to be a bit shorter? It's definitely a tough time, we're suffering with split nights at the minute and it's killer. How long is he awake after his last nap and before bedtime?

I was thinking that but he’s only just turned 1 and I thought it might be a bit soon. He’s up most mornings between 630 and 7. First nap is 10-1130 and his second is around 2-330. These vary a bit though during the week when he’s in crèche. When he’s at home, I usually have to wake him up from his naps. Some days he refuses the second nap but he’d be wrecked in the afternoon. He goes to bed between 7 and 730. But lately this hasn’t been happening!

We are going through the exact same thing, she will take a morning nap but it's later than it used to be and then won't take her big nap in the afternoon. Altho she woke a bit earlier than usual today and i got both naps in. We do an 8pm bed and i have to wake her by 3.30 to go asleep for 8. If i leave her sleep later she'll go asleep at 8 but just use it as a wee nap and then be up for hours. She's a similar age to your lad so i think they must be getting ready to drop a nap but still a bit young to go without it really 😵

That sounds tough! I might try to extend his morning nap tomorrow and skip the afternoon and see how we get on.

It could be that as well. It seems like he’s been teething forever so who know! Hopefully things get better for your little one.

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

Combi feeding advice

Has anyone gone from EBF to combi feeding? Currently do one bottle of EBM per night and they one half formula half breast milk mixed in the day. The other times she still feeds on me. Ideally I want to feed all day via bottle and all night with breast. She’s 7 weeks and takes a bottle well, how long should I leave it before adding another bottle to her daily routine?
