Nap and bed time routines?

What time are your almost 2yr olds napping and for how long? And what time do they go to bed? My almost 2yr old normally naps 12-2pm and bed at 7 but has been waking at 5am for weeks now and it’s so exhausting. Last night tried putting him to bed slightly later at 7.30 but he’s still awake at 5am… wondering should we cap the nap? Please help 🫠😴

We've had this for about 4 months now.. waking up for the day between 4-5.. doesn't matter if she has a shorter nap, longer nap, later bedtime, earlier bedtime lol.. the last few nights we've stopped doing milk overnight and she now wakes between 6-7.. but not sure if it's a coincidence or not.. she wakes at 4 still, but then will actually go back to sleep 🤷🏼‍♀️🤞🏼

When my son was this age he napped 1-2/3 and bed at 7. After he turned 2 he dropped his nap entirely though and still bed at 7, he’s now 3 and hasn’t napped since, unless accidental in the car or something

If waking at 5am is being that nap earlier 10.30am-12.30am bed for 6pm. Probably getting overtired by the sounds of it. Should work its way out once he starts waking at a reasonable time x

Also around 12 for up to 2hrs.
He goes to bed around 7.30/8 but could wake anywhere from 6am+

His sleep had become wild with night wakes, difficulty bedtime and early waking so we started capping at 2hrs as before he could have went to 3hrs... i think im going to start capping at 1.5hr soon too to see if he will go to bed around 7/7.30 and sleep more sound.

Its a trial and error game / toddler sleep is mental🫠🫠

Vanilla extract

Has anyone used alcohol free vanilla in their babies formal to help them drink?
I’m 100% sure my baby refuses her bottles as she doesn’t like the taste of it!

Just anxious to try it, don’t want her to get used to it and then refuse bottles again after two weeks of using (correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve read you use it for 2 weeks max)

TIA 🙂

When did you circumcise your baby?
If you DID NOT or DO NOT have a circumcised son DO NOT comment this post is not for you!

Did you wait a certain amount of time or have it done immediately?
Again respectfully, this is only for the parents who choose to do so.
opinions about how not necessary it is will not be appropriate for this post. Thank you in advance. 🩵

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?

Car seat crying

My 6 month old PANICS the second I put him in a car seat and screams, cries, chokes and recently even projectile vomited on a 14 minute drive. It’s gotten to the point I don’t even bring him out unless it’s to a doctors appointment. I’m a stay at home mom with no family in my state and it has been very isolating. We’ve tried 3 different car seats with no improvement. Has anyone had a baby who hated the car seat? Any advice? This started at 3 months. I will add it does seem worse when he’s tired. He does cry on every trip though. He only contact naps and co sleeps so he reaches for me and will not sleep in the car seat.

Sex post C section

Hi ladies I’m 4 weeks 5 days postpartum and I had a C section. I’m not bleeding properly anymore just some brownish discharge stuff that starts on and off. I’d like to do the deed with my partner; is it okay to do so or shall I wait the full 6 weeks. I feel up for it but also worried because the advice is 6-8 weeks.

Postpartum

I’m only 3 days postpartum (FTM) and already have extremely bad anxiety. I’m crying every night, as I think of another night of no sleep. My baby will not settle in his cot, he cries every moment we put him down unless in his chair rocker. So me and my partner are having to alternate after 3/4 hours of being awake with him downstairs. I’m trying everything to get him to settle. It’s a load of overwhelming stress. I’m 23, I was desperate for a baby and now I have one and feel completely useless. I miss it just being me and my partner.
