Why does my 11 months old keep waking at 34 minutes?

It’s 34 minutes exactly every time! Why is this?
She’s down for Nap, wakes up 34mins later but still tired and needing to be resettled.
night time I put her down and after 34mins she’s back up needing to be resettled, it’s been like this for a while, does anyone know why?

It’s probably the length of her first sleep cycle. Doesn’t sound like she’s able to self settle and link her sleep cycles

is it something she’ll eventually learn to do or should I be doing something to help her??

Exactly the same is happening to us!! He used to nap for an hour/hour and a half just fine but for the last couple of weeks it’s just one sleep cycle. I thought he might be under tired or over tired so have played around with wake windows but it’s made no difference 😅 putting it down to separation anxiety/learning how to walk and babbling way more now. Honestly exhausting though!!

I don’t know! We had to do sleep training (Ferber method) ourselves as I was at breaking point and beyond exhausted. That taught her how to link her sleep cycles and go back to sleep by herself. Some babies grow out of it. It all depends on you and your baby!

Baby clothes

Just out of curiosity, why do parents love zipper onesies?

Don’t get me wrong, I tried zipper ones it’s easy to zip in and out when putting it on the first time and taking it out, but I find it difficult when changing diapers especially when baby is asleep.

I prefer those kimono style buttons where it’s easy to button or too down button with crotch snaps.

Is everyone thinking the same or different? Lol

Help

My LO every feed. Drs don’t seem to think it’s a problem the whole Muslim cloth gets soaked so much I’m using towels now. I’ve tried size O teats he gets really frustrated and still spills it out :(

Dummy

My baby has had a dummy since about 2 weeks old (now 5 months) and over the course of the last month we weaned her off it during the day only for naps and night (which was fine) and then 5 days took it completely away during the day.

The first day no dummy was fine, the second bit rougher. But now it feels impossible she just moans and cries all the time it takes ages for her to go down to sleep (she’s always been an amazing sleeper)

I thought it was meant to get better as time went on not worse. I’m at my wits end I dunno what to do.

Currently typing this as she screams uncontrollably in the car and I cry with her cos I can’t do anything.

Of these two, which seems more overall “demanding” to you, overall? Lighthearted poll, not putting anyone down 🫶🏼

As a mum who breastfed for 3 years, I think formula feeding seems 100x harder and more demanding. I give those mamas all the credit because I could not keep up with that faff haha. I truly don’t understand why people say breastfeeding is more effort, other than the fact that no one else can do it. But personally I’d take that over endless bottle prep & cleaning.

Is this normal?

My 12m old is really funny with kids going near him, he’s always been this way, but anytime family’s kids sit next to him or head his way he moans or cries and moves away. He also really observes them and is never really relaxed, always looking over his shoulder. Has anyone experienced this? (He’s starting nursery properly tomorrow so hoping this helps) but is this normal?

8 week immunisations

My 8 week old has his first set of injections tomorrow and I’m abit nervous. Does anyone have any advice for after the jabs? I know they get a temp after so have got some calpol to give just before hand. Should I put him to bed in less clothing to make sure he doesn’t get too hot? Any tips from your experience with first set of immunisations? Am I worrying more than I need to? 😅
