4 month sleep regression
My baby is 17 weeks and fights sleep so much! The nights aren’t so bad yet but the day naps are so short and i have to soothe him fo about 40 mins for him to actually sleep! We are following wake windows. Any ideas how to get him to sleep longer in the day?
Also, when is everyone’s last feed before bedtime? I find if I feed him right before bed he’s then awake for longer if I feed him at 6/7 he naps and wakes up 30 mins later 🤦🏻♀️

My daughter is 17 weeks old also and is fighting daytime naps like crazy. This evening was the worst yet, she was away from 3:20pm to 7:15!! I usually put her to bed at 8 but brought it forward today because she would not nap whatsoever no matter what I tried. It’s so hard as I’m solo parenting for majority of the day with my husband working shifts. At the moment she won’t nap independently for more than 30 mins and even on me today she didn’t nap for longer than 30 mins. I’m praying she has a decent night tonight but I think because she been to bed earlier she’ll likely wake up for a feed in the night which she doesn’t usually.
It’s so difficult isn’t it? I read that’s it’s all about linking sleep cycles but how do you get them to do that? I’ve just put mine to bed but guaranteed he’ll wake in 30 mins and be up until midnight!

Baby doll
Anyone get their son a baby doll? Did they love it?
Thinking of getting mine one for christmas as he's gravitated towards one a couple of times at a toddler group. For context my son will be 18 months, nearly 19 months at Christmas.

How often are we changing sleepsuit?
If baby isn’t spitting up / having poop explosions and their sleepsuit is fine, how often are we changing them into a fresh one?
Are we changing them daily? I have been doing so but my husband thinks it’s pointless to change them into clean clothes if their outfit hasn’t got messy or dirty

Dummies
Anyone using a dummy yet for their LO?
My eldest had one until she was 2 and it was a lifesaver as she struggled to get to sleep.
Our 6 week old has been so fussy today and nothing would calm her or her her to sleep. Tried a dummy and she's definitely taken to it.
I was going to try avoid it this time round but think we may give her one for naps and sleep.

Day naps
How long and how many day naps are your babies having? Mine is 3 months now and sometimes she has 20mins , 30 mins, 40 mins or 1 h..and if very lucky..2h. Is everyone experiencing something similar ? Sometimes I think she needs more

Sleep
I know it’s highly recommended that you and your child sleep in the same room until 6 months old, but I’m just curious if many people moved their babies into their own room sooner?
