Anyone else’s 5/6 month old’s last nap of the day quite late?

My 5/6 month old has his final nap at 6pm. Anyone else the same?
I don’t cap it. He goes to bed at 10pm.

Depends how long the last nap is, but our LO (6m at the end of the month) is still in the 30-40min nap phase and her last nap is usually around 5/5.30 with an 8.30/9pm bedtime. So it doesn't sound late to me.

I wish my 5/6 month old would nap. No matter what I do he won’t sleep even at night

My baby's timing is very similar to yours.

Yep, it’s not always at the same time but she often naps around 6pm or even later. We try and aim for 9-9.30pm bedtime but sometimes she falls asleep later.

Oh I’m so glad to hear this!! Everyone was telling me it’s far too late for a nap! And to cap it

My little one now goes to bed around 7/8 but my 3 year old when she was a baby would wake up from her nap at about 6:30/7. I've never really followed a routine and just let the babies set it themselves. My 3 year old would go to bed around 10/11pm also when she was a baby and sleep until around 10am. Shes always been a good sleeper and still is. She'll go to bed now around 8/9 and never really wakes up earlier than 8:30am. She starts school next year so im going to have to slowly start adjusting it lol but until now its been no issue

My LO goes to bed between 630/7. Last nap ending about 430pm. I normally dont let him nap past 5. So his latest bedtime is half 7

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

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?
