Mum shaming

Has anyone ever been mum shamed for their LO having set naps and missing out on some stuff because its Nap time?? I've found having set naps massively improves her mood I guess I'm just looking for reassurance.

I wouldn’t say I’ve been mum shamed but definitely people without kids really don’t get it.
Everything I do revolves around him napping as it effects his night sleep otherwise.

We plan every day round naps too! I also wouldn't say shamed for it but people definitely don't understand how important that good nap is. If my baby is napping at a time we've planned something then I'm sorry but I'll be late 😂
In a couple of years our babies will be in school and it will be the end of this special time, know you're doing the best for your baby and enjoy her happy mood when she wakes 😊 xx

Honestly. I have set naps but I still take my son out and if he falls asleep that’s just tough on everyone else Bevause he needs his naps.
Some people say wake him up and I say no because my poor child needs his nap

And honestly I don’t go out most days Bevause his morning nap is very important so I’d prefer to go out after lunch.

Yep, mainly my mum friends with babies that sleep wherever whenever and don’t get it! My little boy will only sleep in his bed, I know I wouldn’t enjoy myself if I went out when he was due a sleep cause he’d just make my life hell 😂😂😂 wish I had one that would just drop off whenever,,, but no! 😂

I usually just brush off any comments buy saying something like ‘yeah but if she doesn’t nap nobody will have a good time, trust me’

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 🤗❤️
