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🫠🫠

So we are moving

So my husband and I are moving from an 3 bedroom 1 &1/2 bath apartment to a 5 bedroom 1bath house.
Well there is 3 bedrooms upstairs and 2 bedrooms down stairs with 1 bathroom. The house is kinda small. We have to cool with window units and heat by gas but the upstairs doesn’t have a heat source I have 2 boys and 2 girls this house would give them their own rooms but my husband is so negative. He wants them sharing rooms. But yet I’m home 24/7 with the kids he works night shift and I feel like I don’t get a say.

Also I want to get rid of my daughter’s bunk bed and get them separate beds and he doesn’t want to do that.

We are currently in our 3 bed and my kids are all in separate rooms. My youngest is in our bed my oldest daughter is in her bed and my boys are separated ones in their room the other is in the living room.

My kids are ages 9,8,7,5 I feel like my boys need their own room my daughters need to be separated also they fight constantly

Am I in the wrong for being upset

Baby slept through…

So it’s 6.35am and baby has slept through the night so obviously I have been waking every 30 mins panicking that somethings wrong and now wondering if I should wake him up. 🤣

He is EBF so my boobs are massive and leaking everywhere but yet the little prince keeps on sleeping. 😴

I really want to go back to sleep but I just know he will wake up the second I get comfy and start to drift off. 😩

Bloody kids!! 🤷🏼‍♀️🙈

Leaking overnight

Any nappy recs advice for nappy leaks at night? My 7 month old has just started consistently leaking, I’ve sized up in nappies and tried Aldi and rascals but no luck.

Has anyone had better results with pull ups? He’s just big enough now I think but I wasn’t sure if Aldi pull ups are any good?

Don’t know what to do

My 8 week old is still waking every 3 hours for milk. She strains, grunts and wriggles all night long. Its so loud that I am awake all night. I’ve tried infacol, dentinox, colief. We have changed her formula a week ago. She’s been to an osteopath (who said she was the calmest baby she’d ever seen 🙄) i’m at my wits end. I’m exhausted.

Dry hair postpartum

Help! My hair is like straw.. anyone else? Anything that works to give it more hydration? Thanks!

Does this get better?

My baby has just turned three months and he’s gone back to sleeping like he’s a newborn, so unsettled all night especially after his first stretch.
He was doing 6/7 hour stretches consistently and now it’s like he’s completely forgotten how to link his sleep cycles.
Does this get better or is this how sleep will be now?
