Naps

Does anyone elses baby only have catnaps? 3 or 4 30-minute naps a day. Occasionally, it's 40 minutes, but it's pretty much 30 on the dot! It doesn't matter if it's a contact, pushchair, or cot nap.

Mine used to do this, too, but he now usually has a long morning nap 1.5-2 hours and then another 1 or 2 30 minutes to 1 hour naps

Mine used to until she started consolidating naps at 5 months. I think some babies have different sleep needs though. If they're happy with it, I wouldn't worry!

Mine now does 2-3 naps a day. If only 2 naps, they're typically both around 2hrs, if 3 naps, 2 are usually 1-1.5hrs and one is a bit shorter.

Mine does this almost on the dot every nap! But she sleeps largely through the night aswell x

@Hailey She does usually sleep well at night unless teething 😩. I don't get much done in 30 minutes

@Loren She's almost 7 months now, so I don't think it's going to happen 😆

Ours has always been a catnapper until about 2 weeks ago. She’s randomly doing longer naps around an hour now. It seems more likely if we push her morning wake window to get some more sleep pressure, but not guaranteed. I’ve literally just gone back to work and her Dad’s on leave so he’s obviously saying he’s the charm 🙃🙄

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?

Breastfeeding

Does it ever feel better? The actual feeding part of it is going really well and baby boy is growing so well. I’m struggling with how my boobs feel day to day - it’s really getting me down most days. The let downs make me feel awful and sounds silly but, I am also really missing not wearing a bra! 9 weeks postpartum and still getting fairly engorged, even with comfort pumping.

Any advice or just shared stories would help. I’m so torn between carrying on because I enjoy the feeding side of it or switching to formula.

Big nursing bras!

I’m looking for recommendations for good nursing bras for bigger breasted ladies!

I’m currently in a 38H which seems to be the biggest size done at M&S (UK based mama here) and it’s snug and not as supportive as I’d like. When I look online, they mainly seem to be sized S, M, L, XL etc rather than bra sizes.

Any recommendations please?

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😢💗

Strange question

Hello. I would identify myself as asexual but yes i am married and i have a child. But now that ive had my baby. I think its solidified that im done having sex. I feel bad as my partner keeps asking me but i just dont want to. Any advice on what i can do? Any other asexual moms out there? I guess this could be confusing but im not huge on being bound by a label. I have just always felt it represented me best since highschool.
