My baby doesn't nap

Anyone got any tips on how to get my baby to nap.
She DOES NOT sleep in the day unless we're in the car for a while or I've managed to cwtch her to sleep but she wakes as soon as you even think of moving her 🙄

How old is she?

She will be overtired which makes it hard for them to sleep my 5 week old is always disturbed by my toddler and it takes me ages to get her sleep she loves white noise so I use that to help but it is tough as she is very overtired xx

Mine always sleeps in the pram so if everything else fails I try that. In a sling too, though I've only done it once, she slept in about 2 mins!

Found the best bedtime story my baby sleeps to....During the day just for the last few day weather been manic she only sleeps 30-45mins at a tine so spend most tine cuddling helping to sleep...bathing her before feed especially in this weather for bedtime only...wet cloth wipe during the day to cool off too helps....I bathed her yesterday during the day and she napped like she usually do but went over her bedtime so woke up at an awkward time lol...I still gave her a rinse before actual bedtime turn all lights off unless u have night light....im getting her glow in the dark lights soon xx Mine is 6 weeks tomorrow xx https://youtu.be/OvP-Bkp9btQ?feature=shared

sling mine knocks out but its too hot for her atm...pram 100% walk for 2 mins she is out xx

oh yes true. Definitely too hot for the sling at the moment!

My LO every feed. Drs don’t seem to think it’s a problem the whole Muslim cloth gets soaked so much I’m using towels now. I’ve tried size O teats he gets really frustrated and still spills it out :(

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! 🤣🤡

My seven year old

Is out of control. Her dad and I share 50/50 and when she comes to my house she is so mean. And idk what to do

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
