Naps and going to bed

Hello my little boy who is coming up 16 months old has two naps a day and still goes to bed which is good but does anyone think he's napping too much it is it ok and what do your little ones do?? He's awake from about 6 in the morning and I always know when he's tired as he will get ratty and clumsy I'll put him down at 9 or just after 9 for an hour and a half hell have lunch at 12 or just after 12 hell have another nap between 2.45 or 3pm sometimes if we have popped out and get back Just after 3 he'll go for a nap until half 4 then he'll be up and hell have dinner at 6 then he'll have a bath and then play for a while then he's in bed by 8 sometimes a little earlier if he's getting ratty he sometimes don't always fall asleep right away but then he does. He sometimes wakes during the night once it twice plus he's still got a few teeth coming from does this seem ok or is he napping too much

If it ain’t broke don’t fix it! He’ll soon let you know when it’s too much as he’ll refuse one nap. Obviously needs it for now still x

This seems like a good routine. Doesn't sound like he needs to drop a nap anytime soon...my boy kept fighting his second nap so he's been on one nap a day for about a month now.

If it's working then it's working! My son cut his second nap out at 10 months and I was worried as that's not really deemed as "normal" but now it is and I'm not worried..I suppose what I'm trying to say is they're all different and do things at different times. When they're 5 you won't look back and worry about how much he was napping x

8 week immunisations

My 8 week old has his first set of injections tomorrow and I’m abit nervous. Does anyone have any advice for after the jabs? I know they get a temp after so have got some calpol to give just before hand. Should I put him to bed in less clothing to make sure he doesn’t get too hot? Any tips from your experience with first set of immunisations? Am I worrying more than I need to? 😅

11 month old constantly standing in cot

Please tell me someone has some advice for this cause wow it’s trying. My almost 11 month old is fully on the move now and his new favourite thing is repeatedly pulling to stand in his cot. The problem is that he wears a sleep sack (mainly so his legs don’t get stuck between the bars tbh lol) so he’s not stable enough to lower himself down. So earlier he fell backwards and hit is head and now we feel like we can’t just leave him to it. Typically it’s his first full day at nursery tomorrow and my first day back at work IT’S LIKE HE KNOWS!!
Please tell me someone has some tips. Currently we are quietly placing him back on his back every time but he just keeps doing it! 🤣🤡

Took 9 week old to a family party where there was loud music and she was next to the speaker for most of the time (about 3 hours). She slept through most of it. Do you think she has hearing loss from this?

Freaking out right now :(

Struggling in the 4 month regression

How are people getting out of the 4 month regression? I’ve been looking it up and it says I need to be trying to put him down drowsy but awake but this does not work for my LO. Every time we do this he ends up being wide awake and after almost an hour of trying we have to contact nap/rock to sleep. I want to avoid rocking to sleep because now when he wakes up in the night he needs to be rocked back to sleep which he never used to need.

Nights are constantly broken because we are up 2-3 times to rock him back to sleep. Please give me your tips on how to survive this and how to get out of this!! Constantly feel like I’m failing and doing something wrong
