Naps/schedule

How many naps are your little ones taking and what their sleep schedule/daily routine is like??
We just switched over to one nap a day from 1-3 but he’s having a harder time at night so I’m debating on switching him back to two naps at 10 & 3.

His bedtime is usually around 9PM and he wakes up around 7/7:30AM.

Maybe try moving his bedtime up? Mine naps twice usually for an hour although she’s been fighting her second nap and won’t always take it but she’s in bed by 730/8 and will get up anywhere between 7/8 in the morning

My girl's varies a bit but generally wake up 7-7:30, take a nap around 12:30/1 for around 2 hours, then falls asleep around 8:30. We bedshare so she probably wakes up more frequently at night anyways but lately it's been a lot and I think it's due to teething (in case that might be your situation as well)

We struggle over here.. I have my 5yo who no longer wants naps but is super cranky by dinner if she doesn't. My almost 3yo who MUST nap from 12:30-3:30 at least or everyone regrets it.. then little guy who still should nap at 11 and 3:30 but has been trying to transition to one nap and also can't hang by the time dinner is served because he's so dang cranky.. basically it's awful at my house lately 🤣

Well I’m lucky if mine takes any naps during the day… At daycare she’ll take 1 nap when the other kids do, but at home on weekends she just powers on through (or naps for literally ten mins post-boob)… and STILL fights bed time. I don’t know how she does it… it’s a constant adventure…

Our LO started taking 1 nap a day around 10 months. She’s up between 7:30-8:30, naps around 1:00-3:00 and back to bed between 8:30-9:30p.

We just make sure when she’s away to keep her active and constantly doing something so she sleeps good! I honestly have no downtime and started tracking the steps I take just inside our house and I’m doing 3-4 miles a day just playing with our LO

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
