How old is your little one?

About to be 18 months!

Any activities ranging from bringing my baby with me while running errands (making sure she's engaging with her surroundings i.e. if we're grocery shopping, we name all the fruits and veges), taking baby to playdates, bringing her to playplaces or playgrounds, etc.

The timing of naps could be the determining factor too. We've been down to one nap and we try to schedule it so that the wake windows surrounding the nap are roughly the same length (~5-6 hrs after wake, nap 1.5 hr long usually before lunch, then bedtime ~5-6hrs after).

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. 🥺

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? 🥲

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?

Self settling

Any tips or advice of how to teach 6.5month old to self settle? I’m up multiple times in the night to cuddle her back to sleep and put the dummy in. I understand she will wake up and want a cuddle etc but any tips on self settling would be appreciated 🥰
