Day naps?

How many naps are your 5/6 month olds having a day?

We’re still on 4 as we can’t seem to get out of the 30 min naps and 4 naps take him up until a reasonable bed time of 7/8pm!

Mine is 6 months and has 4 most days, 2 of which are 1.5 hours if we’re home for them. They’re not robots so I think whatever suits you and your baby is fine so I’m not pushing to drop naps

Mine has 2 naps a day, both usually about 1.5 hours long x

We’re still at 4 sometimes 5 naps a day, only her second nap and last nap are an hour and over, the others are 15-30 min naps, still not set bed time neither as she still has 5 bottles of milk per day and that’s also not established! X

3 naps and nearly 6 months. Usually one long one of up to 2 hours - I try to not let her do more than 4 hours over the course of the day.

My baby's just turned 5 months and he has 3 1.5 hours and then a little cap nap just to see him through to bed time for about 20 mins x

My 6 month old has 3-4 a day, mostly 3 now they are 45 mins each 🙈 I am hopeful one day of some longer naps 😂 she’s asleep in bed between 6-7 and sleeps 12 hours so I can’t complain x

Still on 4 naps. She turned six months on Saturday

Were the same as you, 4 naps each around 45 mins occasionally one longer one but unpredictable which one and if it will happen!

3/4. My baby only naps for 30 mins.
Her routine is 2 hours awake, 30 min nap repeated all day until about 7pm for bedtime 😃

Still 4 naps as she only sleeps 30-40 minutes in the day x

2 naps, 30 mins absolute max and this has been the case for the last 3 weeks 🙃

3 naps and they vary anywhere between 45 minutes to 2 hours 😊

3 naps
3 hrs

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too

My little one is struggling with sleep

Hey! I'm in need of some advice please girls! My little boy is 20 months turns 21 months in 2 half weeks. He use to sleep through the night now he is waking up every single night in the early morning, I've had to transition him to a toodler bed as he kept climbing out his cot. Just need some advice on what I can do to help him get back in to a sleep pattern?

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

6 month old autistism

My 6 month old makes no eye contact with me and doesn’t respond when I call him. Can this just be a phase or personality trait as apposed to autism

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

New born

Finally had my baby girl via C-section on the 18th, everything has been so far. But I’ve noticed she’s very fussy and cries a lot. I’ve been trying to exclusively breastfeed. The lactation consultant at the hospital said I did look like I’m making enough milk for her. She was latching on good at the hospital and now here at home, she doesn’t seem to want to latch at all. She’s been crying a lot and very fussy. I’m just wondering is she’s colic or like maybe she just doesn’t want the breast anymore?
