What are your March 2023 babies’ wake windows these days? My LO is fighting naps and driving me crazy, thinking the WWs have changed…?

Same here my LO is 10months old and doesn’t take but 30min-1hr naps now at the least twice a day sometimes once’s a day.. unless given a bath during the day and will take at least a 2hr nap after bath

My 11mo’s wake window is around 4-6 hours. His morning nap is getting shorter, and getting harder to get him to nap, so I usually go for a drive for the morning nap. Afternoon nap is easier and he sleeps for 40 min to sometimes 2hrs, depending on how tired he is.

Ugh idek. I've tried dropping to 1 nap but he gets cranky. With 2 naps, he'll fight at least 1 of them

My 11 month old twins take 2 naps a day. Between 1-2 hours with 4 hours wake windows. I moved bedtime back to like 9pm because I want them to sleep all night. They’re up by 7-8am.

My almost 11 month old will usually have a shorter wake window in the morning (2-3 hrs) before a morning nap and a longer wake window in the afternoon (3-4 hrs) before he takes an afternoon nap. His nap lengths vary from 1-2.5 hrs depending on how tired he is. Around 10 months we had a sleep regression which made the afternoon naps nearly impossible and nights harder but I think we are over that now and back to our normal schedule. During his sleep regression I would drive him around for his afternoon nap and he would fall asleep so quickly, if he didn’t take that afternoon nap, he would be so cranky and fussy right before bed. I think around this time babies need 14 hrs of sleep in a 24 hr period (nights and naps) so I’ve just been trying to follow that 🤷🏻‍♀️. I hope that helps, good luck!

same

3:15 for morning nap, 3:45 for afternoon nap, and 4:00 for bedtime. I try to put him down for 3:00, 3:30, and 3:45 wake windows but he fights sleep and takes a while to fall asleep. He’s always been a terrible sleeper though and usually only takes 30 minute naps. And he fights the afternoon nap hard but he need it. I think they recommend keeping the second nap until 14-18 months old. And wake windows should be between 3-4hrs.

my 11 month old wakes up around 9am, naptime at noon for 2-3 hours, goes back down for another nap around 5:30ish then i usually wake him up after 30-45 minutes. bedtime between 8-9pm

I have tontake my 1st son to daycare but wake is 6am a d nap 9-9:30. Wakes 11-12. I try to put him back down by 1:30

my girl is on the same exact schedule lol

Only one nap (40min- 1 hour) around 1pm (after lunch)

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?

Postpartum

I’m only 3 days postpartum (FTM) and already have extremely bad anxiety. I’m crying every night, as I think of another night of no sleep. My baby will not settle in his cot, he cries every moment we put him down unless in his chair rocker. So me and my partner are having to alternate after 3/4 hours of being awake with him downstairs. I’m trying everything to get him to settle. It’s a load of overwhelming stress. I’m 23, I was desperate for a baby and now I have one and feel completely useless. I miss it just being me and my partner.

When does it get better?

I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....

Night time routine

Heya, my 3 week old daughter is currently exclusively breastfed and I’m not pumping. Can anyone recommend the best way to share the load with my partner? At the moment I’m doing all the feeds/burbs/settling and my partner is sleeping through which obviously isn’t sustainable, I’m trying to work out the best way to get him involved. Any advice very much appreciated!

Rapid cool/ hot shot method

Sorry if this sound stupid but how are we doing the hot shot method?
Are we boiling the kettle and letting it cool a little before adding to hot flask? Then with the cool water do you boil the kettle and leave it to cool right down before putting into another flask?
My baby brain is fried trying to work out the easiest way!

Rant/WWYD

My sister (youngest, 24) has two kids, 4 & 1, and i (oldest, 30) just have my one who’s 6mo old right now, so i ask her for advice or call her to vent about things sometimes. Well im tired of her turning around and telling my other family members that I’m “losing my sh*t.” Literally have not lost my sh*t nor have i ever freaked out to her about my baby, i just call her to talk and tell her what stage my baby is in or talk through how im feeling, but she chooses to tell people that im like a complete nutcase or something which worries me that my family is going to start being judgmental about me as a mother or looking at me funny like I’m some fragile ticking time bomb.

What would you do in this situation? I’m already pretty much decided that I’ll stop telling her anything about my struggles, but I’m almost at the point where i feel like it should be confronted because she, of all people, should understand what I’m going through.
