Standing up in crib before nap - intervene if happy?

My 10 month old is currently standing up and biting her crib rather than actually, you know, napping. My question is, if happy, do you intervene or just let them do their thing until they lay down and nap themselves? My partner tends to always go in if she's standing up and give her a hug and pop her back down on her back. She's currently showing no signs if tiring or stopping 😅

I think if my LG wasn’t crying I would leave her to be honest and see what happened. We don’t have standing up in her crib yet, but when we put her down at night often she rolls around and is awake for a bit and then gets herself to sleep and we just leave her unless she cries.

My LB is doing this and the only reason I go to him is because if I leave him standing up he just wakes up and it’s game over 🤣

I think I would go in and lay them down if they were crying but if not then leave them to do their thing. Although I think if they are doing this then maybe they aren’t tired yet? Xx

I just leave my kittlenone if she's happy. Most of the time she will lie down herself when she's tired and fall asleep

i just leave mine alone, hes up and down constantly for about ten minutes, happy as larry and then eventually he will just lie down and go to sleep. i go in if he cries but thats about it

Thanks all!

My baby is doing this and unless he’s crying I’ll leave him to it and he usually will go to sleep eventually! Otherwise if he’s crying he will not sleep so I have to intervene

circumcision

are we circumcising our boys? or leaving that to dad?

Should I be concerned or am I overthinking?

My little boy is 15 months old, he’s recently taken his first steps and he says mamma and dadda and baba (he has said these for months) we’ve filled out the paperwork for his 12-14 month review and it looks like he isn’t meeting many of his milestones.

He doesn’t copy actions, point, clap etc. He doesn’t react when being spoken to, or to his name. He actively avoids eye contact.

He was so unresponsive to sound that we just had his hearing tested concerned he was deaf. They found that he could hear so he is just choosing not to react to any noises or sounds.

Has anyone else had similar experiences with their little ones? Should I be raising this with the health visitor and ask to be assessed for neurodivergent issue or a social communication problem like autism?

I don’t want to just slap a label on him, but I do feel that there are real concerns. All opinions welcome!!

Routines?

When did you start to introduce your baby’s routine? Do they just have a night routine or full day routine? Wondering when I should start this e.g naps at the same time everyday.

Any routines you have that work for you, please let me know them with timestamps. my baby is 6 weeks and just wondering when we should start them?

Does anyone else’s baby spit up breastmilk but not formula?

I’m seriously considering seeing a lactation consultant because I don’t understand why he can’t hold down breastmilk but can formula. I use soy formula since I’ve used it with my daughter and I’m thinking it might be due to not getting milk coming in for a few days so I had no choice but to give him formula, but now even if I take breaks in between feeding him breastmilk to burp or try to mix breastmilk and formula, he spits it up sooo much. I’m ready to just give him just formula because I’m worried about him not eating enough

Reflux

I need some help my baby is 6 weeks old and recently when I try and wind him after his bottle he’s not bring any wind up and just keeps being sick, I’ve tried infacol but that doesn’t seem to be doing much.

Bed time tips for 8 week old

So I literally cannot get my 8 week down to sleep before 11:30pm every night no matter how early we start our routine. We tend to do bath every second night but every night consists of feed, up to bed, into pjs, book, feed to sleep. We could start this routine at 7 and it would still be the case of not selling til 11:30.

She doesn’t nap during the day well, we get a 30 minute in the morning, and a 1 hour in the afternoon only if I’m out the house. She’s never distressed when she’s awake all that time, quite the thing being nosey and having cuddles. She’s EBF and her feeds all through the day are LONG and last from 30-45 mins each feed.

Any tips/advice recommended on how to get to bed earlier or just how to get her to sleep in general.
