13 months old refusing to sleep

Struggling !

My 13 month old keeps waking at 4.30/5! Also taking hours to get to sleep.
She is also refusing naps . Sometimes her day time naps are no more then an hour in total !

I know she’s overtired but I have no idea what to do.

Have you tried edging towards one nap days to see if that helps?
It’s probably just a phase, I know that’s annoying 😭

I have the same but my son is still having 2 naps a day and still seems tired 🙈 so opposite to you but the 4am wake ups are not nice!
I’ve been keeping it’s dark and quiet, giving him a cuddle and putting him back down to try and get out of the habit 🤷🏼‍♀️

What does your usual routine look like? And what are their wake windows in the day and before bed? It could be an overtired issue if they aren’t getting enough day time sleep x

she wakes at 5.30/6.
First nap 9/9.30, for half an hour. Then second nap 13.00 for hour or hour and half . Then bed at 6.30/ 7.

what time is the second nap? And how many hours is the wake window before bed?
I would cap the second nap so wakes no later than 2:45/3pm. Then a good 4 hours before bed.
Mine was doing the exact same as yours.
First nap at 9:30 (wakes at 6:30/7), cap that so sleeps no later than 10:45.
Second nap around 1:30/1:45 but cap to sleep until 2:45/3.
Bed time for 7, sometimes 6:45 or 6:30 depending how well they slept in the day. Sometimes mine will only do 40 mins for first or second nap. So whatever time they wake from the second nap, bed time is 4 hours after this time.
It doesn’t work overnight but keeping consistent will help their cardiac rhythm. Also when they wake, if they’re not crying or upset, try to leave them in the cot. Again this is teaching them it isn’t time to get up for the day x

thanks .
We already do 9.30 nap for half and /45mins in am.

Then next nap is an hour or hour and half long .

We are thinking could it be she’s ready for just 1 nap.

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.
