Day time nap environment.

My boy has just turned 3 months. Sleeps very well through the night. But it’s now crossed my mind about day time naps.
We never really set a strict arrangement. If we are out his either sleeps in the pram or car seat and if at home, on the sofa.
Should I be encouraging crib naps upstairs? He has never taken to a Moses basket.

What do you guys do when you are at home?

Our little girl doesn’t sleep in a room where we aren’t there. We have another next to me crib downstairs for naps - she’s gone off it recently so only wants to nap on me (definitely not complaining!). I’ll be keeping her napping wherever I am based on the NHS SIDS advice, however I know of friends who put their babes down in their upstairs cribs too so it’s personal choice 😊

We keep our 12 week old downstairs with us during the day in his pack n play and at night put him in his crib in his room! I know totally frowned upon... but I just could not sleep with him in our room. His baby sounds would keep me up! So we installed a monitor in his room that's notifies us when he cries or makes a sound at night😊 Do whatever works best for you girly!

My little boy either sleeps on me or in his crib upstairs in a dark room - it just works really well for him! x x

I was actually googling nap schedules today, my LO is 14 weeks and sleeps well at night, during the morning he continues with napping every hour or so and then in the afternoon he stays awake for 2 hours at a time. Some google posts say they sleep for about 4-5 hours during the day. He sleeps downstairs in his carrycot pram during the day

I follow my lb’s wake windows. He now naps upstairs in his next to me x

I've got a travel cot permanently up in the living room that I put LO in for day naps. Unless i also need a nap and he goes in the N2M upstairs. If I'm sorting out the nursery i also have the cot in there he can sleep in while i do laundry etc. And can keep an eye on him.

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.

Circumcision, please help

I know it can be a really sensitive topic, but I feel really underinformed about whether I should choose to circumcise or not if we end up having a boy.
For context: we are very non-religious, but I worry about the stigma of being non-circumcised when he would start to get interested in dating, navigating cleaning it and the risk of infection especially as he gets older and navigating potty training at daycare and stuff. I also worry about the increased risk of penile cancer. But then I also hate the thought of making my baby go through a major surgery unnecessarily and would prefer for them to make the choice when they are older if they choose to get circumcised.

How did you make your choice? Does anyone regret their choice?

How do I end this friendship

My best friend of 15 years and I are in similar stages of life and her behaviour has gotten increasingly erratic and triggering. I am about to have my first baby and she is struggling with postpartum from her second who was born last August. All the “normal” post partum depression symptoms I totally understand but she has also in my opinion made a lot of selfish choices recently.

She is constantly yelling and berating her husband and kids as well as flying off the handle at the tiniest things and it’s super triggering for me coming from a previous abusive relationship. She’s honestly being abusive to her family.

I feel like she always makes everything about herself and her reasoning has gotten soooo misconstrued. She acts only on her emotions and doesn’t care about anyone else’s. She never accepts any constructive criticism or advice even though she complains 24/7 about everything.

She says she hates being a mom and doesn’t want to be around her kids , hates her marriage, hates her job, and complains 24\7 and refuses to do anything to change. She also makes everything about herself including my baby shower we just had. She’s made rude comments to my spouse as well.

I don’t have many mom friends but at this point she is just not the type of person I want to be around because she is being so mean and wanting to bring everyone down with her. Also I am about to have my first baby and just want to focus on me.

no screen mums!!

are you absolutely 0 screens household? my boy is 6mo and me and my partner agreed no screens till 3yo, but I'm a sahm and showering is HARD when I'm alone, I've been thinking about recording myself singing the songs he likes and showing it to him for being able to shower.
What do you do?
