30 min cycle

Anyone else's baby just literally pinging awake at almost the exact 30 min mark of a day time nap? Doesnt matter if he's in the crib or in my arms, like clockwork he's up and it takes a hell of alot of rocking the 17.6 pound giant back to sleep! I know their sleep cycle at tbos age is 30 minsish but my god it is beyond exhausting, I so miss those 1 to 2 hr solid naps to just sit down and chill in 😆

Forgot to say he's 4 months as of yesterday so clearly the dreaded regression

Yep. Like clockwork! It's so annoying. Even the sling doesn't work anymore!

@Helen yeah for me it's the pram! Used to nap in there as lo g as we were walking, I bought a rockit so I didn't have to rock him constantly when stationary and what a waste of money as now he's only napping 30 mins there too then I peer in and his huge eyes are staring at me wide awake!

my LO has just had an awful cold and so we had some longer naps while she was poorly and I thought the sleep regression was over, but nooo, the moment she felt a bit better we were back to crap naps and fighting bedtime. Tirrrrreed!

Oh yes same here

Yes, we are the exact same too! I was just about to post up and ask for any tips 🙈
Little one woke up today after 27 mins but was still tired so had to hold her close and rock her back to sleep.

Exact same here, she’s been like it since about 8 weeks 🤦🏼‍♀️ pram, car, contact naps nothing does the trick to extend it anymore! Hoping she grows out of it, overtired cranky baby all day every day! X

Literally! 16 weeks and it’s like a timer goes off in her head and she dings awake! I’ve not been able to get her back to sleep after. I’m noticing at night it’s every 45 mins too. 🫠

My boy has never napped for longer then an hour, but he does have 5 sometimes 6 naps a day depending on how long he does nap for. His longest nap was yesterday 2hours! I was shocked but he did have his 16 vaccines so that’s definitely why.

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?

When does it get better?

I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....

Rant/WWYD

My sister (youngest, 24) has two kids, 4 & 1, and i (oldest, 30) just have my one who’s 6mo old right now, so i ask her for advice or call her to vent about things sometimes. Well im tired of her turning around and telling my other family members that I’m “losing my sh*t.” Literally have not lost my sh*t nor have i ever freaked out to her about my baby, i just call her to talk and tell her what stage my baby is in or talk through how im feeling, but she chooses to tell people that im like a complete nutcase or something which worries me that my family is going to start being judgmental about me as a mother or looking at me funny like I’m some fragile ticking time bomb.

What would you do in this situation? I’m already pretty much decided that I’ll stop telling her anything about my struggles, but I’m almost at the point where i feel like it should be confronted because she, of all people, should understand what I’m going through.

Rapid cool/ hot shot method

Sorry if this sound stupid but how are we doing the hot shot method?
Are we boiling the kettle and letting it cool a little before adding to hot flask? Then with the cool water do you boil the kettle and leave it to cool right down before putting into another flask?
My baby brain is fried trying to work out the easiest way!

Night time routine

Heya, my 3 week old daughter is currently exclusively breastfed and I’m not pumping. Can anyone recommend the best way to share the load with my partner? At the moment I’m doing all the feeds/burbs/settling and my partner is sleeping through which obviously isn’t sustainable, I’m trying to work out the best way to get him involved. Any advice very much appreciated!

i just want someone to talk to😔😔😔😔

when things get hard i have nothing not any support from my partner im convinced he doesn’t even love me anymore but thats another story
I have a 3 yo and a 2yo that are in bed sleeping only just now. I have a 1 yo that’s been sleeping from 8 o’clock to 10 o’clock. I just gave her her milk and she would’ve gone back to sleep if it wasn’t that
I lost her dummy earlier in the day when I went out
so now she won’t go back to sleep and she won’t accept any of the other dummy’s i have!😔😔and it’s 10 o’clock and I’m gonna be up until 3 o’clock with her and when she does want to go to sleep i won’t have any dummy to give her she will accept and she won’t sleep without it i just wanna cry 😔i have nobody to talk to and i feel so alone i get no support from anybody i’m so tired and i don’t feel well to top it off😔
