Last nap of the day

When does everyones babies last nap of the day roughly end and then when is bedtime ?

My son naps 3/4 times a day but only 30/40 mins at a time and that's contact napping or in cot . In his awake windows you can tell he's tired but I cannot get him to extend the naps at all . Going off chat gpt because of this they recommend bedtime as early as 5.45 up until 6.30 most evenings . Which is fine for him he will go to sleep but it's not for me as he co sleeps so I'm then stuck up stairs all evening , don't have time to shower , eat , clean anything and it's just taking over as I do not get a minute. Any advice welcome

My 4 month old has her last nap at about 3/4pm and her bedtime is between 5:30-6:30. I just follow her natural routine for this as this is when she gets sleepy and goes down for the night. I work around her schedule, I do all my activities including dinner before 5pm. I prepare a wrap/pastry/ easy to eat, not messy food along with a drink in my travel mug to have in bed while she’s sleeping.

Mine has last nap at like 6 🤦‍♀️ then bed at 8. I dunno if that’s too late but I fear I’d be up at 4-5am otherwise. Although he’s not sleeping anyway so not sure it’d make a difference 😂

I changed bedtime 2 days ago to 7:30pm so his last nap is now after 5pm. Last wake window no longer than 2 hours, more like 1.5 hours - he takes half an hour naps and 1 longer one which I’m extending to around an hour or hour and half.
I can see he is tired at the end of the day so last wake window cannot be too long as he becikowe very fussy

Reducing formula feeds

I've just been told by my nursery that they wont give bottles of/and formula from 1 year one, my little boys 1 in 3 weeks.
Looking for advice on how to reduce his formula intake?
Hes loves both food and milk 🫣 I think he will drink cows milk so that's not the issue im more concerned about the fact that hes in a routine with his bottles.

1 week postpartum

Hi, I’m 1 week postpartum and exclusively breastfeeding. My baby last had a poo on 20th March (when she was 3 days old) and hasn’t had one since… just wet nappies. She seems very okay too. Is this normal? I’m seeing the health visitor on Monday but just wanted some reassurance thanks x

Late talkers

Hi everyone - My daughter is 27months old and still doesn’t say more than a handful of words regularly. She mostly just says one syllable or sound of a word. We’ve been doing speech therapy for a little more than 6 months. She is starting to vocalize and at least try more, but still has not really started producing actual words yet. It is getting harder and harder not to stress out about this and worry that something more might be wrong, like I recently started looking into childhood apraxia of speech.

I’m looking for some community of people who have gone through or are going through similar things just to be able to talk to someone about it. Did anyone have a child with a similar profile at this age - how did it go from there for you? Is anyone going through something similar right now and want to chat?

Thanks.
