Wow that they still has two naps 😲😲 that looks really good to me!
Mine naps once a day between 10-1230 for two hours. Can let him sleep past 2 otherwise it will mess up bedtime which routing starts at 645. Bed by 7

Well done I think if that works for you then amazing !!

My daughters schedule seems so strange she only has 1 nap all day, She’s 13 months old, She has a nap in the morning and doesn’t have a second, she gets up between 7:30&8:00-milk
9:00- Breakfast
10:00 playtime
11:00-Naptime
12:30-Wake up& Snack
1:30-Dinner
5:00 tea time
6:30 Bedtime

She has snacks all throughout the day too, as well as water/Juice all day

My little ones is still on two naps as is so grumpy if she has one! Our schedule is very similar to yours except both naps are around 1hr 15mins and she goes to bed between 6:30 - 7. Looks like a great routine x

These naps are far too long I think for this age. Day sleep they say they need 2-2.5 hours … my baby has two naps we cap at 1 hour and 1 hour 10 mins . However if baby sleep through with that amount of day sleep then enjoy it šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

Just to say if your baby sleeps fine at night on this routine then it’s obviously working for you and no need to change it. Every baby is so different, all we can do is follow their lead ā¤ļø

so i could maybe do 9:00 till 10:30ish then the afternoon nap 2:30 till 4?

If it works for you then I wouldn’t change it

I would say gradually cut down and see how it goes . But if it’s working for your baby as it is and they are sleeping through then stick with it ā¤ļøā¤ļø

Why would you change the naps if they work for you?? Looks like it works well for you, some babies need lots of sleep and if yours is doing well with their schedule and sleep well through the night then I’d leave it šŸ’™- if you start seeing early wakes or night wakes then you might need to tweak

yeah he still wakes up once a night & up really early in morning

he still wakes up once a night and up early in morning

Ahh okay got it, so maybe worth shortening first to more like 30-45 mins and then second nap aim to cap sleep from around 3-3:30pm? Would the manage okay to bed time? So you could try first nap 9/9:30 for 30/45 mins and then second nap around 1:30/2 for 1.5-2hrs?

yeh perfect thankyou! might eventually drop a nap again

So does my little one. I think the expectation for kids to be sleeping all the way through is a bit harsh on us a mother’s mental thoughts. It’s ok if they don’t ! Mine wakes for a bottle and nappy change between 2-4, tell him I love him kiss and goes right back to sleep till 730. It really doesn’t bother me. And again early morning wake up for your son, is why he still enjoys two naps a day! I wouldn’t shorten any naps unless he is waking himself from those naps. He needs them. If I wake my son from a nap he has a meltdown for half an hour šŸ‘æ .. so whether he has a 45 or a 2 hour nap I leave him to it! X

Over supply of milk

I am nearly 5weeks postpartum and I have such a big over supply of BM.
Has anyone donated / sold their supply, if so where do you recommend for this?

AITA

In the uk there is an outbreak of meningitis, in a specific area mainly. My BD has family from that area and decided to go and meet up with them, I said if he does then he cannot have contact with the kids for 7-10 days after incase he picks anything up. Am I being over dramatic? I reallyyy don’t want my young kids getting anything serious

Baby clothes

Just out of curiosity, why do parents love zipper onesies?

Don’t get me wrong, I tried zipper ones it’s easy to zip in and out when putting it on the first time and taking it out, but I find it difficult when changing diapers especially when baby is asleep.

I prefer those kimono style buttons where it’s easy to button or too down button with crotch snaps.

Is everyone thinking the same or different? Lol

This might rattle some people

Ok, this might get a bit long, and a bit bumpy, so get comfy and buckle up.

So about a week or 2 ago, there was a post on here regarding sleepovers. Not letting their child go to them as you can't trust who'll be at the house etc.

Now, given recent incidents in nurseries and schools, plus my own experience back in the 90s, I am more concerned about sending my child to nursery and later school than I am to a friend's house for a sleep over.

The other day a man was jailed for abusing children at the nursery he worked at. A woman has been arrested for sleeping with an underage boy and then getting pregnant by a different underage boy while on bail for the first offence.

Young girls and boys get sexually harassed and bullied when at school, not all of them. But more than you think. And not just by other kids, but by adults who we as parents are trusting to look after our kids.

A sleepover, is a more controlled environment, with only a handful of people coming into contact with your child. A school, a club etc there can be 100s of people coming into contact with your child.

I was targeted at 7 years old by the owner of a prominent private school. Thankfully, I wasn't SA'd. In year 5 of primary school, I started to develop early, I was harassed by the boys and teachers made remarks about how my uniform didn't fit right, always "adjusting it" around my chest and legs.

Years 7-9 of secondary school were hell. But it was all under the guise of "we're just messing around". A teacher twanging my exposed bra strap (none uniform day) is not "messing around".

Boys pinning me down trying to rip open my shirt to see my breasts.

I fear for my daughter. I hope she takes after my father's family, flat chested.

We need to educate all our children, what is acceptable behaviour. And to come to us, as their parents should ANYTHING happen.

At this point I’m not enjoying motherhood

My 22 month old is horrendous at the moment🫣 biting, hitting, pushing, pulling and shoving not only adults but children he also wants what other children have and will just snatch it away from them.

We repeat ā€˜nice hands’ ā€˜be gentle’ ā€˜let’s share’ etc

But how do I make him understand what he’s doing isn’t very nice? At the end of the day I feel like I’ve just been saying his name all day and nothing else.

What can I do?
