Wake windows

Hi all, what should a 6 month olds wake windows be like? My little girl only seems to tolerate an hour before she gets super grouchy. Unless we go out as she loves been outdoors so I get longer. For example today:

Woke 7am
8.30 absolutely shattered
9.30 woke and we went out so I'd get longer
11.30 sleep
12.45pm woke
2pm absolutely shattered again

Thanks xx

My girl manages around 2.5hours at the moment. Sometimes 3 if really distracted x

2-3 now seems to be working for us, I’ve had to let her get a little grouchy and try and take her out for distractions but the longer wake windows are getting us some longer naps now, less naps but longer, finally!

My boy is an hour also hour 40mins maximum and then he will nap for 30-50mins. He will turn 6 months on the 27th x

We've always been about 2 hours on the dot but tbh sometimes after an hour and a half he is already tired!

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.

Bedtime routine

I have a 12 week old and we struggle to get him to sleep in his next to me crib or Moses basket, so he sleeps in bed with us which means we’re struggling to have a bedtime routine as he won’t sleep till i go to bed with him.
Any suggestions please as he doesn’t sleep till around 11/12
