She's still quite small and got her nights and mornings mixed up. When she naps (or just in general) during the day, make sure she's exposed to natural light and at night make it as dark as possible, calm and quiet. She will eventually understand the difference.
Ur lo is still figuring out her circadian rhythm. The biggest things are trying to keep the eat play sleep pattern. And then start developing a bed time routine for night time sleep this routine should take about 15 min… this can be the hardest time for sleep. Dont beat urself up if yall are struggling. In the moment it will feel like forever but it does go by quick. Our lo wont be soooo little for long.
Get her up every day at the same time no matter how the night went. Helps anchor their sleep pressure. Maybe also cap her daytime sleep and extend the wake window before bed.
Thank you so much,

Would this bug you?
My partner does his own washing (great!) and I do mine and our toddler’s.
Sometimes I put toddler’s clothes straight in the washing machine if they are ditched, with a view that I’ll do a load later.
But this morning, my partner needed to do a load of washing and instead of washing our toddler’s clothes with his (toddler had a vest, jumper, and a top), my partner took our toddler’s clothes out, put them on the side, so he could wash his own clothes???
Why not just chuck our toddler’s clothes in with his?
This has happened twice now and he’s never washed our toddlers clothes

Being on phone whilst breastfeeding or holding baby
Husband wants me to stay off my phone when breastfeeding day or night. He says the phone is too close to the baby's head. Husband is annoyed that I said No. I'm up doing nights and baby's in my arms and I should stay off my phone. Ridiculous. He said i should read or listen to something instead.
😒
Thoughts? Anyone else doing this.
FYI i'm not on my phone all feeds. Just at 3 something in the morning when I have had minimal sleep yes I am on my phone trying to stay awake.

Fighting sleep
My little girl is 15 weeks and for the last 3ish weeks has been fighting every day time nap, and bedtime.
She doesn’t have strict wake windows and I just follow her sleepy cues, which are usually rubbing eyes, yawning, and staring into space. When she gets to this point I will give her her dummy to soothe into sleep, but she resists it to the point I have to rock her whilst she screams for 20 minutes before finally falling asleep.
She only wakes twice in the night around 1:30 for a feed and again at 6:30.
Is there a way to stop this or will she just naturally learn to fall asleep peacefully one day? 😂
