Nap question

Hey girls, we’re still unfortunately very much feeling the effects of the regression at night time… just wondered what everyone else did around naps during the day? My little boy seems to have shorter wake windows because he’s not sleeping well at night. But don’t want to let him sleep too much 😩 would you guys let him sleep as much as he wants or try to limit it? Xx

Let him sleep! They process what they are learning when they sleep and think if we are tired we sleep (obviously not at work etc) but on a day off if we need the extra sleep we take it and feel better for it

My son went through the regression and I thought I was living in hell and it would never end. I started to track his hours of sleep and made sure he was reaching the recommended sleep hours per day. I let him sleep when he wanted during the day to reach his sleep hours up. Then out of the blue, he sleeps like he's never slept before! The nights are better than ever. I used the Huckleberry app, it was really useful.

I kept telling myself 'i will get a good sleep again'. Even though it seems obvious, it doesn't feel it at the time. ♥️♥️ You're doing great and you aren't alone xxx

8 week immunisations

My 8 week old has his first set of injections tomorrow and I’m abit nervous. Does anyone have any advice for after the jabs? I know they get a temp after so have got some calpol to give just before hand. Should I put him to bed in less clothing to make sure he doesn’t get too hot? Any tips from your experience with first set of immunisations? Am I worrying more than I need to? 😅

11 month old constantly standing in cot

Please tell me someone has some advice for this cause wow it’s trying. My almost 11 month old is fully on the move now and his new favourite thing is repeatedly pulling to stand in his cot. The problem is that he wears a sleep sack (mainly so his legs don’t get stuck between the bars tbh lol) so he’s not stable enough to lower himself down. So earlier he fell backwards and hit is head and now we feel like we can’t just leave him to it. Typically it’s his first full day at nursery tomorrow and my first day back at work IT’S LIKE HE KNOWS!!
Please tell me someone has some tips. Currently we are quietly placing him back on his back every time but he just keeps doing it! 🤣🤡

Took 9 week old to a family party where there was loud music and she was next to the speaker for most of the time (about 3 hours). She slept through most of it. Do you think she has hearing loss from this?

Freaking out right now :(

Struggling in the 4 month regression

How are people getting out of the 4 month regression? I’ve been looking it up and it says I need to be trying to put him down drowsy but awake but this does not work for my LO. Every time we do this he ends up being wide awake and after almost an hour of trying we have to contact nap/rock to sleep. I want to avoid rocking to sleep because now when he wakes up in the night he needs to be rocked back to sleep which he never used to need.

Nights are constantly broken because we are up 2-3 times to rock him back to sleep. Please give me your tips on how to survive this and how to get out of this!! Constantly feel like I’m failing and doing something wrong
