Bedtime getting later..

I don't think there's a big enough wake window between nap wake up time and bed time. Some toddlers need less sleep as they get older. Try reducing nap or go to bed a bit later. My daughter survives on 10.5hrs sleep most days x

They need around 12 hr sleep per day so either no nap or later bedtime. Whatever suits you most

I read that wake windows should be about 6 hours at this age so waking up from nap at 2 would mean bed around 8. I find on days my son naps he doesn’t go to sleep until 8.30. But if he doesn’t nap he’s so overtired and ends up being up until 9 🤦🏼‍♀️🤣

If my girl naps I’m not getting her to sleep until 10pm 😅 she needs about 10-12 hours a night or she’ll nap for two hours in the day and be up until 10

Omg I totally miscounted his age 😂😂😂 he’s 32 months!

Get rid of the nap or later bed time. My LO still naps for 2 hours a day but he has a later bed time because I’d rather get the break half way through the day 😅

Same is happening with my little girl, she needs 6 hour wake window before nap then 6 to 6 and a half wake window after nap so that is usually around 8-8:30pm sleep time. She is now starting to refuse naps a lot more, especially as we’re potty training. So she’s been going off to sleep between 7-7:30 and sleeping all the way through to 6:30-7am. Before we used to have split nights if she didn’t nap.

Is your LO napping in the day?

@Shirina no, she hasn't napped since she was 22 months. I don't know how she stays awake for so long x

is she sleeping better at night?

Her sleep hasn't changed, but that's probably because she's in our room. She can get out of her bed, get into ours, and go straight back to sleep x

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

5.30am wakeups 😫😴

My 15 week old has started waking up about 5.30am and is really hard to settle back down - it’s like he thinks it’s time to wake up for the day. He used to go to bed at 9pm and was up at 8am but now he goes to bed between 7.30-8pm as he’s knackered by then but waking up at 5.30am😴. Any advice to get him to sleep a little longer in the morning?! Even an extra hour would be lovely 🤣

New born

Finally had my baby girl via C-section on the 18th, everything has been so far. But I’ve noticed she’s very fussy and cries a lot. I’ve been trying to exclusively breastfeed. The lactation consultant at the hospital said I did look like I’m making enough milk for her. She was latching on good at the hospital and now here at home, she doesn’t seem to want to latch at all. She’s been crying a lot and very fussy. I’m just wondering is she’s colic or like maybe she just doesn’t want the breast anymore?
