Wake windows

(second post this morning - both sleep related, can you tell I'm tired? šŸ˜‚)

Is anyone else struggling to extend their babies wake windows?

I know they're supposed to be up to 2.5 hours now and she should be down to 3 roughly hour long naps a day - she's ready to sleep after about 1.5 hours, is still on 4 naps and the naps only last 30 minutes - anybody else??

Yes! I posted about this yesterday. My little girl struggles past 1.5 hours unless I take her outside in the pram. She's done 8.30am till 10am this morning and is now zonked. Most days we have 4 naps still xx

Exactly the same! Although (by accident) we did 2.25 hours awake this morning and she went down like a dream… still only for 30 mins though! Usually she is unbearable (I mean that lovingly šŸ˜…) after 1.45 hours and we have to fight her to sleep.

My boy can’t stay awake longer than 2 hours either x

Exactly the same except we’re on 5 naps, nothing seems to be working

Mine can only stay awake 2 hours and naps 4 times a day too

My little boy is awake for mostly 2 hours between naps but he only has very short naps so still on like 4/5 naps a day even after trying to extend each nap. Not every baby will have the routine they’re ā€œsupposedā€ to have xx

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. 🄺

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

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!

Combi feeding advice

Has anyone gone from EBF to combi feeding? Currently do one bottle of EBM per night and they one half formula half breast milk mixed in the day. The other times she still feeds on me. Ideally I want to feed all day via bottle and all night with breast. She’s 7 weeks and takes a bottle well, how long should I leave it before adding another bottle to her daily routine?
