Daytime naps

Does anyone wake their babies from daytime naps? My baby is 3 weeks old and above birth weight.

I follow her cues at the moment :)

We have limited daytime naps to 2 hours max and it’s really helped with night sleeping. He has plenty of wake windows and feeds more frequently during the day and settles well and wakes less often at night.

@Sam this is my concern. We would like him to sleep better at night. However with day time waking, that still doesn't seem to make much difference and so today we are letting him do his own thing x

I don’t let my 5 week old sleep longer than two hours (unless in the car or the pram) and he feeds more during the day etc but sleeps 4-5 hours at night

How do you keep a baby up?? Mines 5 weeks old

@Kayshia I can't keep mine up. If he wants to sleep, then we let him sleep. If not he gets really upset - a bit like how I get really upset when I'm not allowed to sleep!x

usually just change his nappy and it wakes him up 😂 then feed and play etc

I’ve been throwing up and taking a shit all night!!! I just hope that it’s not what I think it is

Small head reported following 20 week scan

Has anyone else had it flagged that their baby is in the bottom 5th percentile for head size?

They said everything was fine whilst we were in the scan and then I got a phone call the next day saying that it’s on the small side and we’re being referred to a paediatric specialist at St George’s. Has anyone else had this and how did things go??

Would you bring 9 week old to a family party of 35+ people?

These are also people who will want to pass the baby around and get a turn to hold him. He just got his 2 month shots two days ago

Exercise 6 weeks after c section

What movement did people start to introduce? I won’t do anything too vigorous until I’ve seen the pelvic physio as I don’t want to compromise anything that may have been extremely weakened through pregnancy! But just wondering what types of classes/movement people started off with?

Scan needed at 33 weeks

Hi ladies! I just had a midwife appointment (I am 33+5)..the midwife was different to my usual midwife. She's requested I have a scan within 72 hours as she said baby is measuring a little small, however, she did say that it's likely nothing to worry about and it's probably just her measuring me a bit different to my usual midwife. Has anyone else had this? Am a bit worried although babys heartbeat and movements are completely fine.

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient 😂🥲
