Nap transition 2-3 proving to be tricky

My little girls bedtime used to be around 730/8pm which worked well as she got up for the day at a decent time.
Now she’s transitioning to 2 naps-

1st nap at 10am for only 35 minutes

2nd nap 2pm for only 35minutes

Falls asleep for the night around 630pm (exhausted by this point)

Do you think she needs a third nap as she isn’t napping for long at all!
I feel like 630 bedtime is super early!

What time does she wake up in the morning? If she wakes up 6.30 and goes to bed 6.30 she is probably fine. If she wakes up earlier than 6.30 then not ideal as you will constantly get earlier and will probably need a third nap every few days to reset to a later bedtime. 2 naps are tricky if they are so short - we found ours only transitioned when she started taking longer naps - about 1hr 20min, which helped a lot!

My LG bedtime is also 7:30 - 8 pm and she naps at 10 and then 2pm. We have 3rd nap around 5ish, sometimes even 6ish if we out walking etc. She wakes up 7:30 am pretty much every morning with one waking around 4-5 for a bottle. I feel for us personally 2 naps would not be enough as she is exhausted by 8pm even with 3rd nap 😴

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? 😅

Signs of Neurodivergent Toddler

Any moms of neurodivergent toddlers who could help me out? My son is 13 months old. I know that is technically too early for a diagnosis, but I have a gut feeling that he is on the autism spectrum.

The main sign he shows is hand leading. He does not point at all, and instead will take my hand and lead me anywhere he wants to go,
getting very frustrated if I do not follow.

He is also extremely sensitive to being touched, especially when it comes to hats and putting clothes on. He won’t let anything touch his head or face and I have to fight him to brush his teeth, comb his hair, etc.

He’s very interested in things that aren’t toys and will repeat the same behavior over and over. He can go in and out of doors or walk up and down stairs for hours. He loves taking things out of containers and putting the back in repeatedly.

We recently took him on his first vacation and he REALLY struggled with the change. He struggles with any type of transition or change in routine.

He laughs, makes eye contact, mostly responds to his name, but doesn’t do any other gestures.

Normal toddler behavior or signs of ASD? Let me know your thoughts!

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 :(
