What's babies routine like during the day, how many naps and how long does naps last?

@Becky no idea! He's only 3 months. We don't have a schedule!

@Jessica do you feel like he sleeps alot during the day? If so this may be effecting night time sleep. I know he's only 3 months, but they can still have some sort of schedule at this age

@Becky not excessively. Do you wake baby?

@Jessica I don't wake mine but I don't need to as he's in a routine, and he wakes himself up, he tends to have around 4 naps a day his morning nap usually lasts around an hour, awake for roughly 1.5 hours then he will have another 1 hours nap then in an afternoon he will usually have a longer stretch around 2-3 hours, then awake for roughly 2 hours after his long stretch then he will have another hour or so before his wake window before bedtime. I don't have a strict routine as it can differ from day to day but I'd say mine gets around 5 hours of day time sleep then he sleeps a good 8-9 hour stretch on the night

@Mel thank you, its nothing that I've really done, though, apart from looking out for his tired cues and then getting him down for a nap. Then, with bedtime, I just make sure that I stick to the same routine, taking him up around 8pm changing him and giving him a bottle then lay him down for bedtime and he sleeps through, he can wake a little through the night but I just put my hand on his chest and pat or put his dummy in and he goes back to sleep, he hasn't woken for a night feed for a long time now, my first baby was different and would still wake for night feeds until around 4 months old

Also, another question is, if you're bottle feeding, how many oz are they having, and how many bottles per day? I think that my LO also sleeps well or it helps because he's full, he's on x5 7oz bottles

We've had this since 4 months (he's now 6 months), his sleep has been getting 'better' in that lately he'll 'only' wake up every 2 hours but I can see it's slowly moving in the right direction so I cling to that!

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😢💗

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 😂

No more naps! 10 month old

For a few days now my 10m old has fought her 2 daily naps. Normally her wake windows were 3-4 hours and she is now eventually napping after a 6 hour wake window. Today was only one nap, she skipped the second one. Used to nap like clockwork so I’m wondering if anyone else is experiencing this? Also very unsettled most nights and doesn’t sleep well at all
