For the mums who’s baby already goes to nursery

How does it work with their naps? My LO starts nursery in a few weeks and at the moment has an hour and half in morning and another hour and a half in the afternoon. Will they let them sleep for so long? And does your LO tend to nap the same at nursery as they did back home? Worried he won’t go to sleep there 😅

I was worried about the same thing but the first settling in session he did, he went to pick him up and he was asleep on a cushion on the floor 😂 they follow your babies lead and tired cues ☺️

For the first few days my LG napped really badly at nursery - two short 30 minute naps so it was a super early bedtime when we got her home. Think she had FOMO. Now, she naps better at nursery than she does at home - self settles and doesn’t need rocking to sleep! xx

My daughter has a really good routine at nursery and they follow her lead. Sometimes she naps well sometimes she doesn’t. She’s a light sleeper so I was expecting that but they follow her lead

My LG doesn’t go to nursery she goes to a childminder but she actually sleeps better for her 🙃😂 at first she wasn’t sleeping much at all, think it was a 2/3 week adjustment period then she started doing 1.5/2 hours in morning and atleast another half hour in afternoon

First couple of weeks were bad. He napped but not well 30-60 minutes which I know sounds good but he can nap nearly three hours at home so it wasn’t great for him. His wake windows were 6/7 hours because he just didn’t want to miss out.
This week he went 8 and a half hours and likely fell asleep due to exhaustion. They asked me again what I did at home, which was told to them multiple times. The tried it yesterday and he actually napped both times.

The bad thing with my LB is he doesn’t show tired cues until he’s passed tired. I have to go on wake window length. Which was told they just didn’t try because he didn’t show cues. Now I’ll be telling them every day he’s in what times his naps need to be

Vanilla extract

Has anyone used alcohol free vanilla in their babies formal to help them drink?
I’m 100% sure my baby refuses her bottles as she doesn’t like the taste of it!

Just anxious to try it, don’t want her to get used to it and then refuse bottles again after two weeks of using (correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve read you use it for 2 weeks max)

TIA 🙂

Car seat crying

My 6 month old PANICS the second I put him in a car seat and screams, cries, chokes and recently even projectile vomited on a 14 minute drive. It’s gotten to the point I don’t even bring him out unless it’s to a doctors appointment. I’m a stay at home mom with no family in my state and it has been very isolating. We’ve tried 3 different car seats with no improvement. Has anyone had a baby who hated the car seat? Any advice? This started at 3 months. I will add it does seem worse when he’s tired. He does cry on every trip though. He only contact naps and co sleeps so he reaches for me and will not sleep in the car seat.

Sex post C section

Hi ladies I’m 4 weeks 5 days postpartum and I had a C section. I’m not bleeding properly anymore just some brownish discharge stuff that starts on and off. I’d like to do the deed with my partner; is it okay to do so or shall I wait the full 6 weeks. I feel up for it but also worried because the advice is 6-8 weeks.

When did you circumcise your baby?
If you DID NOT or DO NOT have a circumcised son DO NOT comment this post is not for you!

Did you wait a certain amount of time or have it done immediately?
Again respectfully, this is only for the parents who choose to do so.
opinions about how not necessary it is will not be appropriate for this post. Thank you in advance. 🩵

Postpartum

I’m only 3 days postpartum (FTM) and already have extremely bad anxiety. I’m crying every night, as I think of another night of no sleep. My baby will not settle in his cot, he cries every moment we put him down unless in his chair rocker. So me and my partner are having to alternate after 3/4 hours of being awake with him downstairs. I’m trying everything to get him to settle. It’s a load of overwhelming stress. I’m 23, I was desperate for a baby and now I have one and feel completely useless. I miss it just being me and my partner.
