Cat napping or normal amount?

Guys how long is your baby napping for? Mine has always napped every hour for about 20-40 minute but i noticed on here that people say that is cat napping.

Are peoples little ones still sleeping like 2 hours straight because mines not done that since he was like 1 month old Aha

It dosnt bother me, just wondering because i thought all babies did this 🤣

It is technically cat napping! Because they are only sleeping for one sleep cycle ! My LO hasn’t had a longer than hour sleep since she was 2 months old 😅

I think they are all different! My baby is the same as yours, she sleeps well at night but hardly sleeps at all in the day. I’d say on average she sleeps a total of 45 minutes a day from 8:30-8:30. It gets tough sometimes keeping her occupied all day and I hear of some babies her age sleeping for hours a day but I suppose they are what they are! I’m one tired mummy 🤣

Could you imagine if they did a 2 hour nap in their cot! The house would be spotless, i would he having bubble baths and naps 🤣

Bless them! I just remind myself that it is not forever and i will miss it when its over - currently nap trapped!

Also thanks guys, i migh do a little research on sleep cycles just to educate myself

I know! I don’t know if your baby is the same but she’s been so alert since she was really early days, it’s like she doesn’t want to miss out on a thing and so excited about everything which is nice really 🤣 also I tend to think everyone has different things to deal with, so if we have good night times but busy day times I count that as lucky. I’ve been up since 1am because it was too hot for my dog though, today is a killer already and it’s not even 10am, I’m on coffee number 3 and nursery rhyme number 104732 🤣

Hunter sleeps longer if I contact nap with him in the afternoon. Otherwise, in his basket or pushchair, it'll be 20 minutes, half an hour.

Can the hot weather just end now??? yeah i totally agree! its all give and take isnt it! i think alot of it is prespective too and how you look at things!

Same here! Might get an hour if we’re lucky. He slept an hour and 20mins today after his jabs but that’s unheard of otherwise 😂

My LO will sleep an hour max, usually more like 30mins, maybe 45 and sometimes less. However she sleeps through the night so I think its because she gets most the sleep she needs then. It works for us :) I don't mind her having short naps in the day!

we’re the same x

Help!!!

Am I wrong if I secide to stop doing baths etc for my little ones. We have a 3 and 1 year old. I do all the baths wake up in ams cooking etc. I dont want them to be dirty but it's like I need a break and Im tired of doing it all by myself. He will come up and help after they are out the tub every now and then and that pisses me off. Im taking care of 2 littles one by myself makes no sense. I asked him to give them baths tonight he said I worked all day what did you do...ive had the children all day. We went to church he didn't go. We all know how little ones are.. but what should I do bcus it feels like I'm going crazy

Heartbreak

After years of trying, months of back and fourth on the fate of our marriage, indecision, fights. The whole enchilada my husband and I are separating, divorcing. Whatever. I'm so goddamn heart broken. I feel like it's a death and I'm in mourning. We have a 3 year old son and currently and for the foreseeable we are going to coparent and live together. This makes things harder because neither one of us can really move on but it's how it is. He understands and he's trying to heal too. But I can't understand why now that things are over he can be kind. He's been more amazing in the last week since I ended things than ever. Why couldn't he do that when we were together for years I begged for change, we saw a counselor I tried everything and he just wouldn't. Now he seems to turn a switch and be able to just do it all. But it's too late. My heart aches. My body aches. Love sucks.

Partner works incredibly long hours, how much do they help out?

I'm struggling. Have been for a while. I've had one break from parenting my daughter, that was for 3 hours in December when I left her with her dad.

She's 14 months old and I'm just tired. I've done every night by myself. He's out of bed at 4am and doesn't get home until 7-9pm. He drives for work, very physically tiring.
On the weekends he was doing 6 days, one weekend day off, but now has both off.

He doesn't sit on the floor and play with her, he doesn't read to her because he says she doesn't have the patience.
He will pick her up and hold her whilst he's cooking.

Recently I've been "snappy" with him.
He got back from the mechanic last weekend, she was getting onto the sofa and he put his headphones on and started to watch Netflix on his phone.
The same day I told him I was going to run her bath and to watch her whilst she was still eating, he fell asleep on the sofa.

Today he went to football after going shopping, so was out 1-3 and then from 4-8.
He got back and I was snappy.

"I don't get why you're so snappy with me"

I said - Probably because I haven't had a break since December.

"Do you think I don't know you haven't had a break. I haven't had a break", "I just won't go to work, I'll sit at home all day".

Then "do you think I like not having a connection to my child"... But that's on him? He never sits to play with her. He "doesn't see the point". He's stated that this age is boring to him.

Since she's been born, he has been to a friend's once a month. Football - He stopped going for 7months, but has been the last two weekends.

Are these not breaks?

He does do the washing/washing up/cooking/vacuuming when I haven't had a chance to; but I'm the one in charge of feeding her, naps/bedtime, teeth brushing, hair brushing, baths, dressing her, making sure she has the right shoes, appointments etc. Everything falls on me.

If your partner works ridiculously long hours, how much do they look after your child? Do you ever get a break?

Am I wrong ?

My daughter’s 1st birthday was Thursday and nobody wished her a happy birthday from her dads family but his mom watched his story. Should I put my foot down and set boundaries for them to accept accountability or should I just let them stay on that side for as long as they want and not worry about it?

Tv good or bad

My 4 month old loves TV shows especially dancing fruits and baby TV is this a good thing or a bad thing at this age?

Hi mummas! I need help with potty training?

My daughter is 4 years old, she will be turning 5 this November. I’ve tried everything I can think of, to help her and encourage her. I’ve tried bribing, I’ve tried sticker charts, I’ve tried buying her underwear of her choice— nothing. She’s suspected autistic. She will not try. She will sit on the potty at nursery for a few minutes and that’s it! At home, nothing. Any help would be greatly appreciated 🎀✨
