Sleep

Hello, my little one is 16 weeks and used to have a few 30 min naps throughout the day. The last few days he has napped for nearly 2 hours and then had shorter ones. Is this normal at this age? Ive wanted him to nap but I'm worried now he's really sleepy 🙈 they can't win! I'm sure it won't last long as everyday is different.
I have been following huckleberry and following the 5 shorter naps a day but would this mean he may need less naps now and I should follow the 4 nap a day schedule? He also keeps falling asleep while feeding at the moment so worried he has no energy? Thank you!

He might be going through a growth spurt- the goal is to eventually get to longer naps so this is a great start!

If its any help- mine only does 30-40 mins if in her bed (20 in car!!!) but will easily sleep 1.5-2 hours in our arms. So I usually do 2 cot naps and 1-2 contact or pram naps to make sure she gets around 4 hours sleep per day

Yesterday we were out all day so my little one catnapped on the go.. had 5 naps of 30-45mins each.. today he is on his last nap of the day and it’s only his 3rd nap as he has napped for 1-2hrs. Wake windows are about 2 hours now for us. He may be having a growth spurt which is why he’s sleeping more. Enjoy the naps while they last! X

My little boy is 19 weeks. He normally has 4 naps, 3 are around 30 - 45 mins long, one is around 2-2.5 hours. He has been doing this since around 15 weeks x

Help! First time mum -

I have a 4 month old and now all of a sudden when he’s been asleep for 1hr30/2hrs he will wake up screaming (high pitched) I’ve tried winding him sometimes that helps, I’ve tried bicycle legs & bringing his knees up but that doesn’t seem to help but he brings his knees up himself sometimes but nothing happens. I’ve noticed since the 4 month mark he has started to struggle passing wind downwards! Any tips?

Bath Time

Help! My baby is 3 and a half weeks old. Every bath she goes in quite happy but will only stay like this for a very few mins, if I try to clean her or move her we have tears and after a few mins the same. It's like she is scared. Our current baby bath is quite big should I try a different one? Looking for any suggestions as want her to enjoy bath time not be upset and I'm scared I'm going to make her hate it😢💗

Don’t want to leave my first born😭😭😭

Anyone else extremely sad and anxious to leave their first born😭

He’s 2 and we have never not put him to bed or be here for when he wakes up😭

I’m so sad and anxious about leaving him

Crying during feeding

Hey mams! My girl is 6 weeks on Monday and is having so much trouble with feeding. It doesn’t happen every feed but more often than not she will start a bottle and just start crying as if she’s in pain and she can’t take the milk. I think it’s trapped wind but I genuinely don’t know what to do it’s so pitiful to see her not be able to feed! She’s formula fed and on HiPP Organic.
Anyone else been in this position? I’m pretty sure it’s just a bit of trapped wind that she needs to fart out but can’t! If anyone has any advice I’d be very grateful as I think I may need to tape my eyelids open soon 😂
