Short naps 🥲

All of a sudden, my 6.5 month old is only sleeping for 30 minutes at a time for all 3 naps, and I can not get her to resettle at all!
Previously, she'd either sleep for 90 minutes or she'd wake up at 40 minutes, and I'd give her a little feed and shed go back to sleep for another hour! The half-hour naps are killing me and I can see she's shattered!

We’re exactly the same and the short naps are massively effecting nighttime sleep for us too

Mines been doing 15-40 minute naps from just before 5 months I thinkkkk 4-5 times a day (still at 4 atm) but coz he’s always slept well at night (more or less 12 hours) I haven’t been too concerned. I know it makes it harder to get things done in the day

Same here, it’s so frustrating because she is constantly in such an awful mood and I can tell she needs longer. The only way I can get her to nap longer is a drive so have to go one long drive per day to get her to have one decent nap which is not great for the bank balance as fuel is expensive and I normally do a lunch drive thru stop off 😩

what about going on walks? I do that sometimes to keep my baby sleeping for longer

unfortunately not, she’s nosey so refuse’s completely to sleep in her pram 😂

hahah that’s funny! My boy loves the outdoors a lot but luckily does knock out after a while

Could she need a longer wake window? Mine has suddenly started needing 2hr 45 to 3hr wake windows. Before we lengthened her naps we starting to get short

Poop question

Hey mommas I’m a ftm and my babygirl hasn’t pooped in two days she’s formula feed and is 12 weeks old. I can tell she’s uncomfortable and I feel so bad. I’ve been doing belly rubs and bicycle kicks and all the things like that. Also gave her some gas drops and gripe water to relieve the gas but still no poop. Does anyone have any tips or tricks for me. Pic so we don’t get lost💕

Health Visitor Home Visit

Hii, could anyone explain what the health visitor does on their home visit?

Also if anyone had a home birth, what the midwife home risk assessment involves?

I’ve got 3 home visits coming up in the next two weeks (health visitor, midwives and doula) and it’s making me nervous for some reason. I think having 3 just feels like a lot and a bit invasive if that makes sense!

Who else is out there holding a baby thru the night so his noises dont wake up the house?!

I cant believe im still doing this at 15 months old!!!

My 2nd child is not just the noisiest sleeper but they have always been weird with breastfeeding

I think currently he is having some kinda developmental leap and growth spurt, eating and drinking like crazy and in the middle of the night if he wakes up , it takes ages to put back to sleep and he rolls around making sooooo much noise!!!

And i either have a low supply now OR he loves a fast flow and so he just jumps off the boob when it slows and complains loudly or just talks cutely but loudly! and i have to keep swapping boobs OR i have to get up and hold him and feed so gravity helps and the flow is faster and holding him means he eventually sleeps or at-least is feeding properly so is bloody quiet now! So at 1 am or 3am or often 5am onwards im holding n feeding until he wakes up 🥲🥲🥲

Any tips?

Bottles and feeding

Hi my three months tomorrow old went to bed last night with only four bottles he’s having between 6oz to 7oz it differs but I’ve had to wake him up (anxiety). Because I didn’t think four bottles was enough and I’ve been up all night panicking if he wouldn’t wake up. Any advice for this? X

How’s everyone’s babies sleeping?

My little one is 19 weeks, she used to sleep through when we would put her to bed at around 10pm, she would sleep through until 6-7 am.
Now she gets so tired around 8 pm so we moved her bedtime here, but coming with this is 1-2 night feeds and she’ll be wide awake at 6 am, which I know is still amazing but I am currently as sick as a dog so hasn’t been the best for my flu 🤣.
I’m unsure whether this is the regression though as her naps are very scattered throughout the day with the max nap being 30 minutes through contact only.
Does this sound like the regression? When did your little one start sleeping through again if they ever did? Thanks in advance 🤗❤️
