Dropped naps in December (she decided, not me), but on very busy days or when she's poorly she will still have a small nap. She usually self wakes after 30 minutes x

We are having the same - usually bedtime is 7pm and she’s asleep by 7.30 but she’s been messing around in her cot until 8.30 this week 😵‍💫😵‍💫 capping nap from 2 hours to 1.5 for a week and will see if that helps x

We are having the same issue, my little boy normally naps around 1pm and I'm having to wake him up no later than 2.30pm, any later and we really struggle to get him in bed before 8.30
But do think I need to cut it down more now as it's getting a real struggle x

I’ve capped at an hour for the last few days and it’s helped although he’s miserable for about an hour after his nap 🙃

I haven't capped the nap I have just bought it forward to 12 which means he tends to wake by 1.30-2 which doesn't impact on bedtime. My three and a half year old also still needs a good hour nap a day thankfully.

We have an hour limit to our naps but will wake early to make sure nap does not go past 3pm.

We have an hour limit and she can’t sleep past 2 or bedtime takes forever.

Feel mean waking her up “mummy I’m so tired” but so is mummy by bedtime 😂

My LB is still napping & wont be dropping anytime soon. He has everywhere from 45mins to 2 hours depending on when he wakes up in the morning & then bedtime ranges from 7/8pm. Id try capping & see if that helps :)

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. 🥺

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?

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? 🥲

My 6 month old makes no eye contact with me and doesn’t respond when I call him. Can this just be a phase or personality trait as apposed to autism

Baby with chronic congestion

Hi everyone! My 1 year has been a congested baby since birth almost. She breathes through her mouth so often that it wakes her up multiple times at night and she cries and screams and then struggles to go back to sleep. She wakes up every 1-3 hours and sometimes can’t go back to sleep for 2-3 hours!!! Piriton is the only thing that seems to help her sleep mostly through the night but I can’t keep giving her that!!
Does anyone have tips as to have I can do or give her? Has anyone experienced? I have no idea when I’ll get an ENT appointment and I have no idea what he can give a 13 mo :( we are desperate for sleep so any tips are welcome!! We have tried steam inhalation, saline drops, vapour rubs and everything off the counter basically!

Combi feeding advice

Has anyone gone from EBF to combi feeding? Currently do one bottle of EBM per night and they one half formula half breast milk mixed in the day. The other times she still feeds on me. Ideally I want to feed all day via bottle and all night with breast. She’s 7 weeks and takes a bottle well, how long should I leave it before adding another bottle to her daily routine?
