Naps 😴

If your baby is sleeping through the night (at least until 6am) How long and how often is your baby taking a nap?

My baby typically takes one nap a day that lasts about 2 hours. She sleeps from 11pm to 10am. I'm working on getting her to sleep earlier.

My daughter takes 2-3 naps daily , I put her down around 10;30 and she sleeps until 8-9 ish

Piggybacking here—any advice on how to get your babies to nap? I only get her to sleep 30-45 mins in the stroller or the carrier.

My baby boy has at least 2 naps a day and he's ready for bed by 8 pm and is usually up around 5:30-6 am

My little guy loves to snuggle and will sleep around an hour

One guide I was said 2.5-3.5 hours over 3-4 naps and 11-12 overnight. Our naps are totalling closer to 4-5 hours in 2-3 naps and 10-11 hours overnight.

My baby is 5.5 months old. She sleeps from 8-730/745ish. She takes very small naps 30-40 mins about 3-4 times a day

My baby goes to sleep between 9:30-11pm and sleeps until 8-9:30am. He usually takes two naps, he usually stays awake for 3 hours at a time and then sleeps anywhere from an hour to three hours. Usually he has one long nap and one shorter one, if he takes two short ones, sometimes he takes a third nap.

I was so confused about this topic that I decided to help myself with an app. Currently, I'm using Huckleberry, and is so helpful. My sister is using Napper and works for her.
My baby goes to sleep around 8:30 - 9 pm wakes up around 6:30- 7 am
First nap around 8:30
2nd 12 pm
3rd 3 pm
4th (this is the hard one) 5-6

this is almost exactly like my girl

Wakes up around 7/730. She has about an hour and a half wake window and sleeps for about 30-45 minutes each time. It ends up being about 4 naps.

My baby is 4 months. He goes down at 7:30 pm. He wakes up around 7-8 am. He has a short nap mid morning no more than 20 minutes, and a mid length nap around 3 to keep him going until bedtime.

circumcision

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

I think Motherhood has made me more bitter than I realized…

This is such a ramble but I don’t know where else to put it all.

I’m four months in and I don’t really have hobbies right now. I don’t do anything for myself except maybe doomscrolling or listening to a podcast while I breastfeed my baby. I used to craft and have game nights with friends. Activities that usually are at least 2 hour stretches. Now if I have an hour free my mind immediately goes to baby, or doing something in the house for baby.

And I thought I didn’t mind. Like I knew postpartum could be very mentally consuming. But I think it’s altering how I view people around me and it’s prodding at my relationship with my husband.

He spends most of his time making food for us, looking after our dogs, playing with the baby, ect. But he still has time for his hobby. Spends maybe an hour a night on it. Even adapted to using a bot for shopping for his hobby after a certain incident where we had to have a heart to heart after he left me home alone with the baby for hours during a busy workday (I work from home) to shop for his hobby.

And yet there’s like this little green eyed monster in me that rages every time I know he’s running off to start up the bot. Even though I’m the reason he does it this way.

We took a family trip last weekend to see his best friend and their kids and let them meet the baby. He brought the laptop. He’s always brought a laptop on trips and it’s never been a problem to me before. But one night we both woke up while the baby was still asleep, and he wandered out of the room. I tried to fall back asleep but couldn’t. So I went to the kitchen to try having something warm to drink to settle me. And he was there at the table running the bot from his laptop. I flipped out at him. But there really wasn’t reason to. It’s not like I needed help with the baby and he was ignoring me. He wasn’t avoiding our friends. He was just awake and unable to sleep and found something to do with his time. Yet my snap reaction was “why the hell would you do this on a family trip?”

I don’t know what it is. Maybe it’s the less complete sleep from baby’s middle of the night feed? My brain being just consumed by baby? Maybe I’m not as over that shopping incident as I thought? But I’m just so annoyed at his hobby right now. The green eyed monster thinks “you could be using that time differently” but realistically to do what exactly??? Stare at our baby in the dark???

I spent probably an hour apologizing to him after I snapped. And he’s of course hurt and frustrated because I said some very mean things in the moment.

I don’t want to be this jealous, angry person. But I also don’t know how to find time for myself in this right now outside of basic hygiene. It’s like I’ve forgotten how to be myself, even if just for an hour.

Maybe I need a therapist.

Complicated pp

I’m 4 weeks pp; am I the only one that has a uti and clit kinda went inward?? I’m waiting the 6 weeks but I have used a vibrator and I have a hard time feeling anything

Do men really enjoy fellatio?

Been together more than 10 years, but it's been a while since he even seemed remotely interested in me getting on my knees, or vice versa so to speak. I think it was once last year. Must be something I am doing wrong 🤔. Generally everything else in that department is great and we have two young kids with no extra support, so it's quite surprising we can't keep our hands off each other but may need to try new things. It's basically 2 positions each time with some foreplay.

Stroller

Baby is getting slightly too heavy for his travel system now.
