Son is waking up 30 minutes after bed

I saw someone else post about this but the last few weeks my son is waking up 30 minutes after the start of his nap. Also like 40 minutes after he goes to bed. He does go to sleep by himself for the most part. But after he wakes up I have to feed him or else he will keep screaming and crying to the point he gets so sweaty. That is why im scared to let him cry it out too long .After 30 minutes of napping he doesn't even sleep again . Until his 2nd nap. So he's only been taking 2 30 minute naps a day. :/ any one have an idea how to fix this. He used to take like 2 hour naps

My little one typically takes 20-40 minute naps. As far as I’m aware that’s a typical sleep cycle. I figure as long as baby is happy with that amount of sleep, then leave it be. You can’t force them to sleep longer than they need, ya know?

Bedtime I’m not sure on. Mine sometimes wakes up as well, but typically will go back to sleep without needing anything from me aside from a few pats.

Have you tried moving his bedtime to a little later? Maybe he’s not ready when you’re putting him down for the night?

Do you give solids right before the nap? That helped my babe with not waking up due to hunger

Did you know this was a thing?

Didn’t know this existed! I’m actually not breastfeeding 2nd time round (though wish I did) after a bad experience with my 1st baby. But this is something I 100% needed 1st time round.

Screeching baby

I have twin boys, 5months.

One is very quiet

The other... is like a pterodactyl who screeches when bored, tired, hungry, as soon as he wake up to be held etc...
This habit has only just started!

Has anyone else experienced this and how long did it last?
So far it has been about 5 days 😭😭😭😭

Joie Signature Parcel LX lightweight stroller

Has anyone got this stroller? Up until now we have used our mamas and papas ocarro and we love it. However we are going on holiday in June and looking at a lightweight stroller to take with us. I'm not bothered if it fits in overheard locker, I would rather have decent wheels on the stroller and this one does have slightly bigger wheels than most travel strollers we have seen. Has anyone used this stroller abroad or got any other recommendations? TIA x

How do you dry your 🐱?

Looking to settle a debate with husband, he is teaching our girls to dry themselves after they shower, i am teaching them to dry to a certain point on the inside but not between

Fighting naps

Does anybody else feel like they spend all day trying to get baby to nap? I get tempted to give up as he must not be that tired but he is too cranky to play or do anything else!
