What's going on with my LG!?

Losing the plot right now... it 2.40pm... I've been trying to get my almost 13 month old girl to take a nap since 11.30am! She keeps getting sleepy then fighting it to stay awake and waking back up... I do the who 10mins doing low energy stuff (reading books quietly etc) before trying again... Then after rocking, where she got dozy then once again woke up, I had to catch my breath (my back is agony!)... popped her down, walked 2 steps away to stretch my back and honestly collect myself and she looks at me shouts something abd points at a toy, I say "No, not now" and she screams at me, holds her breath till she almost passes out (breathe holding, she does it sometimes) and then promptly falls asleep in my arms. Out like a light...

For context she's been fighting 2 naps for probably 2 months now, last few days shes had 1 nap and slept 12 hours overnight... she had her jabs on Monday and has had a temp until his morning. Last night she wouldn't sleep until gone 10pm (trying to get her to sleep since 7.30pm), and she woke up at 4.10am until 6.30am but mostly fed and chattered to herself, cuddled her teddy etc (we cosleep). Then slept through until 8.30am (usually wakes between 7-8am on a usual day and has done since she came out of newborn stage.

What's going on? Is it just the jabs or something developmental? Shes been walking for months and in the last few weeks has really come on with a few more words and signs... losing my mind trying to figure out her sleep and feeding needs atm!! Don't get me started on solid foods which are mostly on the floor! 😩

Could be regression, teething. My HV told me it’s normal for them to drop a nap around this age ( they will have it again later down the line) my LO is 16 months and we’ve got teething at the moment. I’ve been trying to nap her since 12:30pm (she’s currently stood in front of me yawning arguing she doesn’t need a nap) Honestly I’d just go with the flow with her, chances are it’s regression, teething and a mix of her jabs. I know my little ones naps went at 12 months and only returned back to 2 naps a month ago. Every baby is different. If you’re concerned I’d either ring the HV team or pop a message on the HV app ☺️

If she's slept till 8:30am she probably isn't tired enough by 11:30 ... That's only a 3 hour wake window so I'd try putting her down an hour later.
I also read up that if they aren't asleep in 30 minutes (I think it was) then get her back up and try again in an hour

Dummies🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

Has anyone got any tips on how to GET RID of dummies😂🤦🏼‍♀️ my little girl is obsessed and i have no idea where to start!!

Hi ya'll

Is anyone else's 4 month old randomly screeching now? I'm not sure what to do and she's been doing this for the past two days. She's usually a quiet happy baby so im not sure why she's doing this now. Aby suggestions?

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.

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?

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?

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.
