2 under 2 routine

So I'm due this month ... 🙃 my 17m old has somewhat of a schedule waking up at 6:30am, nap midday, and asleep by 8pm (we have tried everything to move her bed time earlier but its not working, she will toss and turn until 8pm).

I'm not too strict with the routines but this is how it all happens usually.

Now that I'll have 2, how do you organise yourself ?

My routine is not like it was with 1 but I'm trying. Both were having their nap together at around 11am if I was lucky and both asleep by 7pm if I was lucky. This didnt happen until my baby was around 3 months though. Now my 24 month old is refusing to nap so no routine again 🥲

I have just graduated from 2 under 2 as a single mumma ( mine are now 2 &3 😮‍💨)
Your routine sounds good and 8pm bedtime is not too bad tbh!

What helps is to slot baby’s routine in to toddlers routine not the other way around, also in terms of organisation what helps is to prep everything for the next day so for eg put both their clothes out the night before, pack their bags night before and chuck them in the buggy (it’s just one less thing to worry about lol), also remember how resilient you are. You have just raised a 17 month old mumma so you can more than do it again you got this 💪🏽

Sleeping bag

8 week old in sleeping bag for first time as big enough! Do you feed your child in the night whilst in the sleeping bag or taken them out, feed then transfer back to sleeping bag before putting down?

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

My little one is struggling with sleep

Hey! I'm in need of some advice please girls! My little boy is 20 months turns 21 months in 2 half weeks. He use to sleep through the night now he is waking up every single night in the early morning, I've had to transition him to a toodler bed as he kept climbing out his cot. Just need some advice on what I can do to help him get back in to a sleep pattern?

6 month old autistism

My 6 month old makes no eye contact with me and doesn’t respond when I call him. Can this just be a phase or personality trait as apposed to autism

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?

5.30am wakeups 😫😴

My 15 week old has started waking up about 5.30am and is really hard to settle back down - it’s like he thinks it’s time to wake up for the day. He used to go to bed at 9pm and was up at 8am but now he goes to bed between 7.30-8pm as he’s knackered by then but waking up at 5.30am😴. Any advice to get him to sleep a little longer in the morning?! Even an extra hour would be lovely 🤣
