First nap of the day

My LO wakes up some mornings and has his first nap around 9/9.30am, other mornings like today... He woke up at 6.30am and by 7.45am he's asleep, do you just let your baby nap when tired or should I try and keep to the 9am nap everyday?! I'm a big believer of letting him sleep when he's tired but know it might mess things up..

My little boy usually wakes up around 6/6:30 always give bottle at 7am, 12, 6pm his morning and lunch naps I just go off his cues sometimes he can have a wake window for around 3 hours sometimes it’s less. I always make sure he’s in bed for 7pm some times it can make 7:30 at the latest. Sometimes around 4/5 he’ll have like a power naps for about 20 mins. I always thought it would mess his routine up but it doesn’t always try and stick to the same bed time routine so there always something regular with everyday life

I just follow my LG cues, yesterday she only had 1x 2 hour nap as she fought her last nap of the day but she went to bed around 6:30pm and woke up at 5:30 this morning and she went down for her first nap this morning at 7:45am too! I just follow her cues and she’ll let me know when she’s tired, wouldn’t say we stick to a routine but most days she’ll go to sleep between 7 and half past and she’s fine ☺️ x

I follow her sleep cues but also try and keep her wake windows closer to 3 hours - 3.5 hours if possible but some days that just isn’t possible! Feels like forever ago she went back to bed just over an hour after milk, miss them days cause I used to sneak back to bed but the tiredness passes after 3 hours of been awake 🤣 xx

Can I ask how your little ones sleep at night? I find my lo sleeps worst if I don’t get her to have 2 1/2 hrs sleep in the day. So trying to get more of a routine x

ours is pretty good, he goes down around 7, normally wakes between 3-5 for a bottle then, wakes for the day around 6.15/6.45am. I aim for 2.5/3 hours of day sleep x

Help! First time mum -

I have a 4 month old and now all of a sudden when he’s been asleep for 1hr30/2hrs he will wake up screaming (high pitched) I’ve tried winding him sometimes that helps, I’ve tried bicycle legs & bringing his knees up but that doesn’t seem to help but he brings his knees up himself sometimes but nothing happens. I’ve noticed since the 4 month mark he has started to struggle passing wind downwards! Any tips?

Breastfeeding

Does it ever feel better? The actual feeding part of it is going really well and baby boy is growing so well. I’m struggling with how my boobs feel day to day - it’s really getting me down most days. The let downs make me feel awful and sounds silly but, I am also really missing not wearing a bra! 9 weeks postpartum and still getting fairly engorged, even with comfort pumping.

Any advice or just shared stories would help. I’m so torn between carrying on because I enjoy the feeding side of it or switching to formula.

Big nursing bras!

I’m looking for recommendations for good nursing bras for bigger breasted ladies!

I’m currently in a 38H which seems to be the biggest size done at M&S (UK based mama here) and it’s snug and not as supportive as I’d like. When I look online, they mainly seem to be sized S, M, L, XL etc rather than bra sizes.

Any recommendations please?

Bath Time

Help! My baby is 3 and a half weeks old. Every bath she goes in quite happy but will only stay like this for a very few mins, if I try to clean her or move her we have tears and after a few mins the same. It's like she is scared. Our current baby bath is quite big should I try a different one? Looking for any suggestions as want her to enjoy bath time not be upset and I'm scared I'm going to make her hate it😢💗

Strange question

Hello. I would identify myself as asexual but yes i am married and i have a child. But now that ive had my baby. I think its solidified that im done having sex. I feel bad as my partner keeps asking me but i just dont want to. Any advice on what i can do? Any other asexual moms out there? I guess this could be confusing but im not huge on being bound by a label. I have just always felt it represented me best since highschool.
