What are your rough nap times if on 2?

Feel like my day is being controlled by naps! Any classes/meet ups seem to happen when baby needs to nap.
Just interested to know what others are doing??

Up between 7-8, first nap around 10am, usually around 30 mins but can be up to an hour if had a really difficult night.
Second nap usually starts between 2.30/3 and can be up to 2 hours.

Usually around 10-10.45 and then 2.30-3.45 give or take 15 mins xx

Up around 6.30am first nap around 9.30am for 30 mins which we usually do outside so I can get out and about after breakfast until lunch time, second nap around 2pm until 4pm which I use to mop the house and prep dinner for later, past 2 days been on one nap so I'm trapped at home 😂

10:00-11:15 & 14:30-15:30 (roughly) - I have to cap his naps, I don’t let him sleep past these times otherwise it messes the night up.

Up 8 ish nap 11-12 back down 330-430 sleep 8 this is just a rough guide but I agree it’s hard with classes etc if her nap is after a class I end up driving around while she sleeps

This is really helpful! I think what I need to do is try and get out early before first nap (around 10am) otherwise I’m sometimes not getting out until 11:30/12pm once sorted so feels like I’m missing half the day!

Will baby nap in the pram? I go out for her first nap as she only sleeps for 30 mins in her pram which is perfect for us, so we have breakfast and don't need to be back home until lunch time then she will have her longer nap in the afternoon then we go for a walk after dinner and before bath time

she does but it’s sometimes hit or miss and always short in there but her morning nap is normally longer so always worry if we don’t get that one then it throws the rest of the day!

Yeah I make sure I'm always home for her longer nap so she can sleep properly, been having 1 nap past 3 days but it's right in the middle of the day for 2.5 hours so I'm trapped here all day now 😂

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....

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?

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.

Not drinking

I’m going crazy. Baby born at 2.26kg. Slow to put on weight. This last week hasn’t put on any. Been trying to feed him at night and he’s not interested at all. Fast asleep. During day he will have 5 minute gulps and that’s it. He don’t cry for milk. I’ve got to keep offering to him. I try to offer it every hour but I don’t know what I’m doing. HV said nutrition comes after 5 minutes so I should pump first and then give him. I find it so hard. I tried to pump one boob nothing came. The other abit came. Tried giving him express he’s not interested in that too. Sometimes he will go for a longer a feed but not long at all. He’s 4 months and is currently 5.46kg. I have no family or friend support here and wish I had a cook, cleaner and nanny to help with everything so I can concentrate on the little one. I don’t know what’s wrong with him but I’m loosing it. It doesn’t help that my also stressed generally about my relationship and life circumstances. Any advice that will work. Any comfort you can give. I’m fed up. Is this regression - not feeding. He’s fast fast asleep. I’ve been trying to push the nipple in but that mouth is closed shut. I took some clothes off. Changed his nappy but he’s still asleep. Please help

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
