Transition to Big Bed

My daughter will be 2 tomorrow and I'm expecting again in December. We decided to transfer her to a new room and a new bed so baby can take over. Last night was 1.5 hours before she calmed down and was awake 4 times and today's nap I gave up on and cuddled on the couch after almost 2 hours of trying. I don't wanna give up but this mama is stressed out and tired.

Don’t give up! Change is hard, but it’s much better to do it now then after baby comes. I’m due feb and I just did the same move with my daughter. We did changes and played in her new room so it became a comfortable/ safe space. Best of luck.

So winning mom moment!! Every night she has been asking for something but I had no idea what she was asking for so I kinda just brushed it off. Last night she yelled "taggy" at me and I realized omg her comforter from her crib that has this tag she sucks on wasn't in her new bed (I was hoping to reuse the bedding in the crib (cut off the gross tag) for the new baby). Once I gave her that blanket she was sleeping in 5 mins I felt like such a bad mom. Hopefully tonight goes smooth as well

Don’t feel bad! You translated toddler speak as well as you could!

Well I finally figured out her one blankies from the crib never got transition over to new bed funny enough now no issues wow #momfail

Reducing formula feeds

I've just been told by my nursery that they wont give bottles of/and formula from 1 year one, my little boys 1 in 3 weeks.
Looking for advice on how to reduce his formula intake?
Hes loves both food and milk 🫣 I think he will drink cows milk so that's not the issue im more concerned about the fact that hes in a routine with his bottles.

1 week postpartum

Hi, I’m 1 week postpartum and exclusively breastfeeding. My baby last had a poo on 20th March (when she was 3 days old) and hasn’t had one since… just wet nappies. She seems very okay too. Is this normal? I’m seeing the health visitor on Monday but just wanted some reassurance thanks x

Late talkers

Hi everyone - My daughter is 27months old and still doesn’t say more than a handful of words regularly. She mostly just says one syllable or sound of a word. We’ve been doing speech therapy for a little more than 6 months. She is starting to vocalize and at least try more, but still has not really started producing actual words yet. It is getting harder and harder not to stress out about this and worry that something more might be wrong, like I recently started looking into childhood apraxia of speech.

I’m looking for some community of people who have gone through or are going through similar things just to be able to talk to someone about it. Did anyone have a child with a similar profile at this age - how did it go from there for you? Is anyone going through something similar right now and want to chat?

Thanks.

Last nap of the day

When does everyones babies last nap of the day roughly end and then when is bedtime ?

My son naps 3/4 times a day but only 30/40 mins at a time and that's contact napping or in cot . In his awake windows you can tell he's tired but I cannot get him to extend the naps at all . Going off chat gpt because of this they recommend bedtime as early as 5.45 up until 6.30 most evenings . Which is fine for him he will go to sleep but it's not for me as he co sleeps so I'm then stuck up stairs all evening , don't have time to shower , eat , clean anything and it's just taking over as I do not get a minute. Any advice welcome

Side & stomach sleepers. HELP

Baby girl is officially a side & occasionally stomach sleeper. She can crawl & roll just fine but in her cot she struggle to get comfortable in her sleep because her sleeping bag restricts her movement. Like if she is trying to get on her side or stomach it wakes her up.

We're using the Snuz sleeping bags.

Any tips? Do your side/stomach sleepers have this issue?
