No naps

Today my baby has slept for only 40 minutes around 10:30.
Does anyone else have a baby with FOMO...

Today >
Nap 1, 27 minutes - woke for 6 minutes, then slept for 31 minutes.
Nap 2, baby fell asleep as I predicted as we went to the library - 14 mins in to the nap a child in the library SCREAMING woke her 🥺
Nap 3, I have a cold and my sneezes woke her 🥺 she was terrified.
So I put her in to bed just before 7 tonight and she’s almost off - sucking her dummy in the cot.
She had barely any naps today 🫣

My LB is the same, some days I’m lucky if he gets an hour spread across a few short naps. He wakes throughout the night too so I’m exhausted 😴

Tiffany only naps twice a day, both times between 20 and 30 mins - she’s usually in bed around 6pm but she then wakes at least twice during the night 😩

My boy has been exactly the same today, he had around 10 minutes this morning then half an hour 3.30-4. He has just gone to sleep 😅

2 30 mins naps and fighting the last nap of the day and bedtime

He also wakes constantly in the night, maybe like 10x.. so we just don't sleep. 🥹

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

Dummies🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

Has anyone got any tips on how to GET RID of dummies😂🤦🏼‍♀️ my little girl is obsessed and i have no idea where to start!!

Self settling

Any tips or advice of how to teach 6.5month old to self settle? I’m up multiple times in the night to cuddle her back to sleep and put the dummy in. I understand she will wake up and want a cuddle etc but any tips on self settling would be appreciated 🥰

Baby losing weight

Hi all, it's been a long time since I had a baby (my son is 15!). My daughter is 10 days old and was 9lb born, she has since lost weight at every appointment and is at a 12% loss. I am breast feeding every two hours for over an hour and topping her up every feed. I pump and can get 60ml in 10 minutes so I know my supply is okay. Anyone had this before? Can give me some tips? I currently feel like I'm letting my baby down.

Did I overreact?

I have had 3 c sections, recently had a wisdom teeth removal (4) to be exact and all my mom did was visit the day BEFORE and then she only sent 1 text. She has NEVER spent one full day with me and doesn’t acknowledge my achievements much. She just isn’t there when I need her to be. She claims she’s always working but she lives like 7 minutes away! she can come help with the kids so my husband can have break? we don’t ask her for much and she only sees the kids 1-2 a month. She also didn’t visit with my last c section. I told her that she should’ve gotten the abortion when she had the chance with me because why would you have me and neglect me emotionally? To not actually give me a present father in my life. I am very angry all she does is disappoint me. She only wants to show up for certain people in the family and I just want to grab her and shake her and ask her why can’t she be a good present mother?
