No naps

Anyones LO suddenly refusing to nap and just going the whole day with no sleep? My LG was easy to put down for that midday nap but now nope like fighting with the nap police! If where in the car or walking in the pram shed sleep but not a proper nap and unsure if its around the time they start fading that out? I thought shes still bit young for no naps plus i NEED this as much as she does, please someone tell me its a phase 🙏🏼😂

My 20 month old is the same , but she does still nap just takes longer for her to actually go to sleep or there are days where she just won't go for a nap xx

My little girl has cut naps completely, we tried for multiple days to put her down and she'll drink her milk then get up and want to come out so we've dropped them completely, she goes down pretty much instantly for bed time tho

to be fair my LG always been alright going down for bed but without the nap shes more or less shattered doing our bedtime routine, indo find she tries to nap around 4 ish and im like nope youve missed the cut off point now and she does stay away but ive tried and tried last couple of days and shes just not having it now, im gutted cos it was my nap time to and im not ready to drop it 😂

yeah my little girl has been good with sleep as well, she napped 2 days in a row a couple days ago and was terrible at sleeping so now she's not napping

My LG was the same recently, she was easy to put down for nap and from one day to another she start refuse to have one. Also she starts to wake up few times in the night, nap time became a war time to i give up 😂 one day she had one day not. But after 2 weeks everything come back to normal. I read it could be sleep regression when babies refuse to nap and waking up during the night. Everything is so exciting for them and even they are tired they want to keep playing. I hope your LO will come back to normal routine of having a nap i know how hard it os without them 🤭 There is still hope for you 😂

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!
