Daytime naps

I am thinking of starting to transition daytime naps to the cot in the nursery. Anyone that does this, can I ask, do you put little one in a sleeping bag & make the room dark? Thanks!

I try to for one nap a day in his big boy cot in his own room so he gets used to it. His baby monitor is on when I do this x

I’m in the same position, just worried that when we’re out and about she won’t then sleep in car or pram because she expects to be in her cot or next to me 🤔 plus she fights her sleeps in the day, kicks off straightens up her body has to be rocked then about 30 seconds of kicking off and her eyes shutting she’s off, so I’m scared she won’t settle in her cot and she’s sleeping through the night so I’m scared todo anything to ruin it! How is yours through the daytime naps? Xx

he quite often feeds to sleep in the day and if not usually a 30 min battle lol. He naps 3/4 times a day for 30 mins and atm sleeping 4 hours then 2/3 hours twice more in the night but been very touch and go with the regression! Thinking of also doing some self settle training and see how it goes as we are starting the transition from bf to formula xx

Yes. Sleep sack, sound machine and dark room.

My boy has his 2pm nap in his cot, I’m lucky that he just goes to sleep straight away and no need for it to be dark. X

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

Self settling

Any tips or advice of how to teach 6.5month old to self settle? I’m up multiple times in the night to cuddle her back to sleep and put the dummy in. I understand she will wake up and want a cuddle etc but any tips on self settling would be appreciated 🥰

Baby losing weight

Hi all, it's been a long time since I had a baby (my son is 15!). My daughter is 10 days old and was 9lb born, she has since lost weight at every appointment and is at a 12% loss. I am breast feeding every two hours for over an hour and topping her up every feed. I pump and can get 60ml in 10 minutes so I know my supply is okay. Anyone had this before? Can give me some tips? I currently feel like I'm letting my baby down.

Did I overreact?

I have had 3 c sections, recently had a wisdom teeth removal (4) to be exact and all my mom did was visit the day BEFORE and then she only sent 1 text. She has NEVER spent one full day with me and doesn’t acknowledge my achievements much. She just isn’t there when I need her to be. She claims she’s always working but she lives like 7 minutes away! she can come help with the kids so my husband can have break? we don’t ask her for much and she only sees the kids 1-2 a month. She also didn’t visit with my last c section. I told her that she should’ve gotten the abortion when she had the chance with me because why would you have me and neglect me emotionally? To not actually give me a present father in my life. I am very angry all she does is disappoint me. She only wants to show up for certain people in the family and I just want to grab her and shake her and ask her why can’t she be a good present mother?
