Wake windows

How long are everyone else’s wake windows for their 5 month old. My little one has just gone 5 months and his wake windows are still 1.5-2 hours, should they be longer now?

My little one is really fighting naps at the minute but I know he can only cope with 2 hours/2.5 hours before he gets over tired and grumpy. Whether he naps or not when he’s tired is anyone’s guess at the minute but after that period of time you can just tell he’s tired and then continues to get grumpy and cross. Hes 4 and half month xxxx

My little girl is nearly 5 months, the morning one varies depending on what time she wakes up, can be only an hour or an hour and a half. After lunch is a couple of hours. After her afternoon nap she is normally awake for around 3 hours, starts to get a bit cranky after 2 and a half so we give her a bath to distract her before her last feed and then bed.

3 hours roughly but can depend on what she's been doing while awake and how long the sleep was before x

My boys wake windows depends on what we are doing I’ve noticed if he’s had quite a fully activity wake window with playing, songs, socialising etc it can be as short as an hour to an hour and half before he needs another nap/cat nap sometimes only 20 mins will do it. But if we have a slightly less stimulating wake window where hes maybe on the floor on his own and just entertaining himself with his toy or practicing rolling etc can do about 2-2.5 hours before needing a nap xx

He’s pretty clockwork, 2hrs! 2.5 if we’re out and about but he will start getting cranky towards 2.5

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need 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. 🥺

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?

New born

Finally had my baby girl via C-section on the 18th, everything has been so far. But I’ve noticed she’s very fussy and cries a lot. I’ve been trying to exclusively breastfeed. The lactation consultant at the hospital said I did look like I’m making enough milk for her. She was latching on good at the hospital and now here at home, she doesn’t seem to want to latch at all. She’s been crying a lot and very fussy. I’m just wondering is she’s colic or like maybe she just doesn’t want the breast anymore?
