Waking at night

Recently waking again at night… sometimes 1am, sometimes 3am. Everytime for a few hours.
Killing us off!’
How long does your LO nap for during the day? We have a 2 hour nap 12.30-2.30/3 pm.
So maybe I need to cap that now.

Wow a 2 hour nap?! I wonder if this is your problem.
When I saw a sleep consultant in April she said 98% of the time early wakes/split nights are because of too much sleep over 24 hours. The nap generally is dropped by 2-2.5 yrs on average.
My LO has been on 30 mins nap for about 3 months now and I’m just starting to wonder if we’re getting close to stopping altogether as he’s started waking 530-6 screaming.

There’s a two year sleep regression, we’re pretty sure we’re in the throes of that now.

We had this exact problem a few weeks ago, daughter was waking up at 1am and wasn't going back down until 3-4.30am. It was awful! She was having a 2 hour nap in the middle of the day which she has now fully dropped and sleep has gone back to normal. She's going down around 7.30pm and waking at 7.30am.

If she does fall asleep in the day, I cap it at 30 minute maximum otherwise she wakes in the middle of the night. It's only nursery where she has a nap though but I think that's because she's just ran ragged.

Dropping the nap was a huge adjustment (mainly for me) but we've all gotten used to it now and it's actually great to have the freedom to go out and do activities whenever without having to rush back home for nap time.

Also to add, I learnt that there's such thing as 2 year old molars so your little one could also be teething!

Self settling

Any tips or advice of how to teach 6.5month old to self settle? I’m up multiple times in the night to cuddle her back to sleep and put the dummy in. I understand she will wake up and want a cuddle etc but any tips on self settling would be appreciated 🥰

Baby losing weight

Hi all, it's been a long time since I had a baby (my son is 15!). My daughter is 10 days old and was 9lb born, she has since lost weight at every appointment and is at a 12% loss. I am breast feeding every two hours for over an hour and topping her up every feed. I pump and can get 60ml in 10 minutes so I know my supply is okay. Anyone had this before? Can give me some tips? I currently feel like I'm letting my baby down.

Did I overreact?

I have had 3 c sections, recently had a wisdom teeth removal (4) to be exact and all my mom did was visit the day BEFORE and then she only sent 1 text. She has NEVER spent one full day with me and doesn’t acknowledge my achievements much. She just isn’t there when I need her to be. She claims she’s always working but she lives like 7 minutes away! she can come help with the kids so my husband can have break? we don’t ask her for much and she only sees the kids 1-2 a month. She also didn’t visit with my last c section. I told her that she should’ve gotten the abortion when she had the chance with me because why would you have me and neglect me emotionally? To not actually give me a present father in my life. I am very angry all she does is disappoint me. She only wants to show up for certain people in the family and I just want to grab her and shake her and ask her why can’t she be a good present mother?

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.
