Naps etc

Hi
I have 15 week old little girl and I was just wanting advice of what other people
Do about naps in the day, she is a contact Napper, is anyone else’s baby like this or do they let you put them down, or do people do naps in the next to me with a camera etc?

Just wanting to know other people in my situations routine of how many naps do they have a day, last nap time and night time routine? We was getting somewhere with sleep, up to 5 hour stretches but over last week we have gone back to 3 hourly feeds on the dot, any advice will help!

Thanks

My little one only contact naps and i let her nap whenever she shows signs of being tired. However I do keep her nap before her last bottle a short one (30-45 mins) depending on the time x

I understand I’m struggling with the same thing unfortunately I have no advice . I have two kids and I’m a hot mess

I try and mix up the naps so we’re flexible but also because I needed my arms! Eg, one in the carrier, one in the pram, one in the crib and one or two as a contact nap! However this is only recent as before we only ever really had contact naps and the odd time being able to put her next to us on the sofa!

I defo cap her naps, no more than 2 hours per nap, and try and have a slight bedtime routine which we follow daily!

We contact nap mostly. He used to go in the next to me but isn't at the moment. Sometimes he will sleep in my bed for a bit but not very long.
I dont cap naps at this age. If theyre tired they need to sleep!

If it reassures you, we’re back to 3 hourly feeds after some nice 6 hour stretches. I presume it’ll be a growth spurt or leap of some kind…always the way with these little people 😅😂
Me eldest contact napped until she was about 5/6 months and then she started to go down happily in her cot with no training. I don’t have that luxury with our second, she has to nap wherever we are- pram, carrier, car, me… you’re not alone 👍🏻

Leaky nappy advice

We use mamia nappies and have had no issue until now. We are using size 3 but she is leaking through them every night as she sleeps through the night. We’ve tried 4+ for night but they are still too big. Does anyone have any advice or any other brand that might hold more in a size 3?

Ms Rachel ??

How many of you are putting ms Rachel on??? I’ve just introduced it to my 8 month old and it’s like sorcery. I feel so guilty putting it on because LO don’t take his eyes off the screen, but it’s the only way I’m getting 20/30 minutes during Velcro baby stage. I’ll put it on twice a day for up to 30 mins at a time, the rest of the time we’re out the house, playing with toys or he’s with me doing jobs around the house. Should I even feel guilty?😩

Thoughts on this pram?

I’m 18 weeks pregnant and thinking of prams to get my baby. I saw this on Amazon and it seems affordable, plus the reviews are very positive about the quality of the product. Are there any mamas in the group that got this specific model? If so, how did you find it?

Toddler tippy toeing

My daughter is two been tippy toeing ever since shes learned how to walk. Not sure if it’s a phase or if it’s autism. If it helps shes also a really active baby. Has anyone experienced this with their toddler?

TBH

To be honest- I’m starting to hate that my husband gets to sleep peacefully , getting virtually uninterrupted sleep, while I’m being woken up every other moment by our 5 month old 🙃 I’m so so tired, my body hurts, and I have a little cold that won’t go away. My baby sleeps next to me and feeds on demand (it’s my fault, I know). I tried to regulate him without the boob, tonight, and he started crying. My husband tried to soothe him for less than a minute, but I took him back when I saw my husband was getting irritated by him crying. I ended up feeding him until he was mostly asleep, now he’s sleeping on my chest. I’m awake, I have to use the bathroom, and forgot to take my contacts out, and put nursing pads in, but I’m stuck. Meanwhile, my husband went back to sleep immediately 😮‍💨😤 how do people do this long term? 😩

I am almost 3 weeks postpartum and still bleeding. Can I use tampons yet?

I am so sick of using pads. It’s been almost 3 weeks and I am still bleeding. Can I use tampons yet?
