Waking in the early hours

My son will be 15 months old next week. We were having trouble with his night time sleep so we were told to put him back on 2 daytime naps as he was only having one nap. It seemed to be helping slightly but recently he's been waking around 01:30 every night. Is anyone else going through this, or were you and you've managed to stop the night time wakes?

My daughter used to sleep so well. I don't know what happened she now wakes 2-3 times a night. Sorry if no help, we give her milk for the time being as I think it's just a phase x

She is also almost 15 months but has two back teeth coming through so calpol as well x

My 2.5yo and 15mo think it’s party time at 1am and I just want to cover my ears and sleep 😂 doesn’t currently matter how many naps or how long guarantee they’ll be up partying

We just had the EXACT same thing, about two and a half weeks of a ‘sleep regression’, went back to two naps (9:30am 2:30pm) and woke in the middle of the night once (the last nap I think is the culprit for the middle of the night wake up but I didn’t want to deal with an overtired baby of a night if I kept him up until his bedtime). Give it a week or two and you can readjust back to 1 nap. It’s normal for when they are learning and growing so much in a short amount of time. 🤍 it’ll pass!!

we were on 1 nap and then this started happening. We were advised to put him back on two naps as a regression can be confused with the need to drop to one nap. If that makes sense. Apparently baby should be on two naps until around 17/18 months. So we went back to two naps and I thought I was seeing an improvement, but now we're having wake ups every night. Since going back to 1 nap, have you noticed an improvement?

When did you circumcise your baby?
If you DID NOT or DO NOT have a circumcised son DO NOT comment this post is not for you!

Did you wait a certain amount of time or have it done immediately?
Again respectfully, this is only for the parents who choose to do so.
opinions about how not necessary it is will not be appropriate for this post. Thank you in advance. 🩵

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?

Postpartum

I’m only 3 days postpartum (FTM) and already have extremely bad anxiety. I’m crying every night, as I think of another night of no sleep. My baby will not settle in his cot, he cries every moment we put him down unless in his chair rocker. So me and my partner are having to alternate after 3/4 hours of being awake with him downstairs. I’m trying everything to get him to settle. It’s a load of overwhelming stress. I’m 23, I was desperate for a baby and now I have one and feel completely useless. I miss it just being me and my partner.

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....

Crawling

Did anyone’s little one start crawling yet? I feel like we are falling behind but really have no idea. I’m trying to introduce more floor time but it’s been rough because of having hardwood floors and our 80 lb oblivious to life dog. I got us a carpet for the living room and trying to put the dog out more when the weather allows. She sits like a pro and will roll to get the things she needs😅 but no real signs of crawling yet.

Night time routine

Heya, my 3 week old daughter is currently exclusively breastfed and I’m not pumping. Can anyone recommend the best way to share the load with my partner? At the moment I’m doing all the feeds/burbs/settling and my partner is sleeping through which obviously isn’t sustainable, I’m trying to work out the best way to get him involved. Any advice very much appreciated!
