When do your babies wake up from their last nap?

My little girl keeps waking up about 2pm, then refusing to nap any later 😫 it’s making bed time very early or the gap between last nap and bed time massive!

Exactly this. So we’ve started to try and get her to nap at 930 ish and 130 ish and try to extend the last nap for two hours. So she wakes at 330pm bed for 7pm ish.

How long is your first nap? I never wake my little girl up, but wondering if I should cap it to try and make second nap longer 😩 x

So she normally takes between 6-7am and I always try to get her to last till 930am so that the naps are pushed later. Do you think she could last that long, could do till 9am? Then push later? If she sleeps for that long in the morning I’d leave her sleep but my little girl is the opposite, she wants a longer sleep in the afternoon .. at the moment.
Only thing is I have to contact nap or finish with a contact nap to get to the 2hr mark. If she won’t have it. I bring bedtime earlier but it’s always between 615-730pm.
Just couldn’t deal with the later nap anymore.. she’d fight it so much and was a nightmare night if she skipped it. So we are trying this 🤞🏽

Try to have 3 hour wake windows. So you could always have her morning nap longer if that’s how she wants it and then a shorter pm nap three hours ish from when she wakes? X

My son keeps skipping his second nap so he’s going awake from like 11:30am when he wakes from his first nap till 6pm 😩 I don’t know how he’s staying awake but he does 😂🫣

Also does she sleep well at night with a gap that long if she does then I wouldn’t worry about it. But we have a lot of wake ups. X

What works for my girl is waking at 6.30/7 then first nap 9.30/10.30, Hoping to get to at least 11.30. then last nap between 2.30/3 up around 4 then bed 7

how do you get the two hour nap? Is it in their cot? Or? Struggling to extent her nap for the full two hours without having to intervene mainly feeding her to sleep and having to contact nap x

Avatar

does he not end up screaming the house down!? My little girl is so sensitive to being overtired, and would have a complete meltdown 😂

im currently stretching her first wake window, she struggled to make 2 hours until recently. I thought they were supposed to get longer as the day went on, so I was trying to aim for 2.5hrs, 3 and 3.5hrs

She sleeps okay at night, last 2 nights she has taken ages to get down though. But recently she has been waking at 2am for her dummy then 5am and not resettling until I feed her (even though I know she isn’t hungry!). But last night she was so tired she didn’t wake in the night! 🥳

Avatar

it’s good that you can extend the nap though! My little girl won’t contact nap, won’t be fed or rocked to sleep! Will only sleep in the cot 😢😂

Avatar

I might try her nap at 2pm see if it builds more sleep pressure x

Avatar

nope he’s fine sometimes gets a little fussy but you wouldn’t have a clue he’s been awake all day. My first little boy used to be passing out at like 18 months old if he hadn’t had his nap so I’ve no clue how he manages to stay up this long 🤣

Avatar

he’s currently in the bath laughing and squealing 🤣 at least he’ll go straight to sleep when he does go to bed 😂

exactly wat we do now x

I usually wake her at 2.30 and bedtime is 5.30

Avatar

Usually wakes 4.30/5pm from last map and has tea straight away. Now goes to bed anytime between 6.50-7.30pm as she's rubbing her eyes and yawning.
Still wakes 3 times during the night for feeds

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?

Vanilla extract

Has anyone used alcohol free vanilla in their babies formal to help them drink?
I’m 100% sure my baby refuses her bottles as she doesn’t like the taste of it!

Just anxious to try it, don’t want her to get used to it and then refuse bottles again after two weeks of using (correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve read you use it for 2 weeks max)

TIA 🙂

Sex post C section

Hi ladies I’m 4 weeks 5 days postpartum and I had a C section. I’m not bleeding properly anymore just some brownish discharge stuff that starts on and off. I’d like to do the deed with my partner; is it okay to do so or shall I wait the full 6 weeks. I feel up for it but also worried because the advice is 6-8 weeks.

Postpartum

I’m only 3 days postpartum (FTM) and already have extremely bad anxiety. I’m crying every night, as I think of another night of no sleep. My baby will not settle in his cot, he cries every moment we put him down unless in his chair rocker. So me and my partner are having to alternate after 3/4 hours of being awake with him downstairs. I’m trying everything to get him to settle. It’s a load of overwhelming stress. I’m 23, I was desperate for a baby and now I have one and feel completely useless. I miss it just being me and my partner.

I feel like just a milk cow

Hi I have a 16 day old via c section, I'm a FTM never having been around babies before as I am the youngest of my household and from a small family. My husband is fantastic with our little one. But ever since I've had the baby I just feel like the only thing I'm good for is producing milk. I feel disconnected from my husband like the only reason he's around is because am producing milk. We were having some issues before the baby and we're struggling it took a while to feel like he was onboard even though he said he was from the moment we found out. I dunno if I'm feeling like a spear part because I'm lacking confidence with baby or because I feel like he wouldn't mind being a single dad. Is this postpartum hormones or something else?
