How to not… nap in the pram

Sorry I know I shouldn’t complain as my daughter (15 weeks) is like I was when I was younger, can sleep anywhere… but it’s now making me not want to take her out in the afternoon for a walk as she ends up falling asleep and has then slept too much in the day.

We always head out in the morning for a class/ library, and having a short nap back & forth in the pram is fine for me as it’s often only a 10/15 min walk max. each way so that’s her morning nap for me. Now I’m starting to get her into a bit of a routine I’d like to go out again in the afternoon but when I do she falls asleep no matter how hard I try and distract her with toys etc. Any tips on how to keep her awake in the pram? It just helps break up the afternoon for me but I find she sleeps better at night if she’s not had that later nap in the pram that afternoon. It’s more for me to get out and do a bit of exercise with the walking and her to see different things as the morning walk isn’t long enough. Sorry I know I shouldn’t moan as it’s good she falls asleep in the pram and know others struggle to get them too.

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? 🥲

Baby with chronic congestion

Hi everyone! My 1 year has been a congested baby since birth almost. She breathes through her mouth so often that it wakes her up multiple times at night and she cries and screams and then struggles to go back to sleep. She wakes up every 1-3 hours and sometimes can’t go back to sleep for 2-3 hours!!! Piriton is the only thing that seems to help her sleep mostly through the night but I can’t keep giving her that!!
Does anyone have tips as to have I can do or give her? Has anyone experienced? I have no idea when I’ll get an ENT appointment and I have no idea what he can give a 13 mo :( we are desperate for sleep so any tips are welcome!! We have tried steam inhalation, saline drops, vapour rubs and everything off the counter basically!
