just curious šŸ˜…

how long do your toddlers sleep at night? and how long naps? my boy used to sleep 11-13 hour nights and 2-3.5 hour naps, but suddenly he is only taking 45 min naps and sleeps barely 9 hours a night. I guess I can’t complain but I miss that time to myself and not waking up so early.

also when do you put your babies to bed and to nap? I put mine down for nap anytime between 12-2, and I try to get him to bed right at 8:30 (we do later nights so his dad can spent time with him after work) but if it’s any bit later he wakes up at 6 am or earlier so I try to put him to bed a little earlier but it hasn’t made a difference lately šŸ¤·šŸ½ā€ā™€ļø

pic for cuteness, can’t stay mad at that face!
but he has been way more grumpy in the daytime cause I suspect he’s tired but it just isn’t working out

Mine wakes up around 8am but likes to stay in her crib till 9. She lays down and sings and talks. If we get it too early she says no! And doesn’t want to come out. We put her to bed around 8.30. For naps every day at 1 and she falls asleep in minutes then sleeps usually 1 and half hour sometimes 2/3 hours. We get her at 4pm because she likes to lay down in her crib in the dark 🤣 I am not changing that crib anytime soon I am not prepared for a big bed.

Mine has stopped taking naps too. We also do an hour of quiet time. Her bedtime is between 7:30 and 9. She wakes at 6:30 during the week and around 8am on the weekends. She still is extremely fussy when she doesn’t take a nap but she refuses naps. I guess that’s my toddler struggles

My daughter goes to bed at 7:30 and wakes up at 7. She takes one nap from 1 to 3.

We have her in bed for 7pm and wakes up at 7am….

Max nap once a day of around 1-2hrs.

My son has always slept less than others his age. He goes to sleep somewhere between 10-11pm wakes up at 8 and naps for an hour (4 days out of the week) between 2-3. 🫣 I try to enforce the nap because he gets sensitive in the evenings if he doesn’t nap, but it’s a daily battle. Quiet time turns into a tantrum if he is in his room because he hates being alone- feels like an hour timeout to him. Quiet time not in his room is not very quiet…. Trying my best

My daughter goes down around 7:30 - 7:45 PM but usually doesn't fall asleep until 8 or 8:15 PM and then is asleep until around 6 AM but we don't get her out of her room until 7 or 7:30 AM. She naps once a day for an hour or two.

Hour night wakes and 5am get up

Can anyone shed some light as to why on earth my child doesn’t want to sleep??? My eyeballs are bleeding!!

Never been a good sleeper, but the problems always changing. He’s nearly 9 months old.

Beginning of the month he dropped to 2 naps. We could put him to bed at 7pm and he’d get up for the day at 6am, with multiple wake ups every 2/3 hours.

Now we put him down at 7pm, he can do a good 4/5 hour stretch, but come 1/2am he’s up every hour then getting up for the day at 5am. This then completely messes up the day because I can’t keep him awake long enough to even get to 7pm, let alone later.

He has 2 naps, roughly about 1hr10 each but it changed based on when he wakes and trying to get him to a reasonable bed time.

What could be the reason for this? 6am is fine, but 5am is not 😩😩

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

I think its fair

Me and my partner agreed to sleep in 1 day of the weekend.
He doesn't find it fair to look after both kids (my 4 year old isnt his) while i sleep so he looks after the baby while i sleep and my toddlers at his dads and ill look after both the next day.
Straightaway it was pretty unfair as i let him sleep in until he wakes up 10-12
He wakes me up when baby starts fussing because he wants milk (doesnt need it)
I cant pump as i dont supply enough.
So i get woken at 9/9:30 to feed baby then i get him sleep then theres no point sleeping in as my toddlers being dropped off.
I also find it unfair that i get both kids to sleep most night, i get my toddler to sleep everyday hes home (4/5days) and i get my baby to sleep most nights with the exception of maybe twice a month as his dad struggless then about 95% of his thru the day naps.
I have also been unwell for a few months (tumor scare) and am waiting 18 weeks to see a specialist so im obviously petrified for that, so unbelievably tired and alot of aches and pains, specifically these pounding headaches ive been having.
After i had been up til 11:30 getting both kids to sleep lastnight and my partner falling asleep at 10 then him ignoring the baby cries all morning until my toddler woke up im fed up slammed to door and rold him not to expect to sleep in unless he gets the baby to sleep the night b4.
I keep having issues with him not feeling the wet from baby being sick or weeing himself or being able to smell it do about 98% of the time hes given to me i have to clean him up n change him.
Including at night, we agreed my partner would change nappies (1 a night at 5am) while i feed (2,4,5,6:30) but every night when i get him hes pissed through and my partner gets annoyed when i wake him up n moan about it.
Then the morning after hes annoyed at how much washing there is (thats his job) and moans about how often i change myself (baby constantly shits thru and sicks on me) and baby
Honestly im just so tired all the time

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
