Sleeping
This is my first baby and I have no idea if this is normal or not but I've been sleeping basically all throughout the night and getting nearly 10 hours of sleep to still wake up absolutely shattered and have an hour to two hour nap at like 2 pm and then still go to bed at like 11 and sleep through the night and don't get me wrong I love the fact I'm getting in a comfortable enough position to sleep but it just seems out of the ordinary and just want to know if other people have experienced it

I felt like this, exhausted all day. Turns out I have anaemia so I’d say get your bloods checked if you haven’t already. Xx
I don't think there is a normal amount! I've only really woken up maybe once in the night and any other times it's the cat that wakes me! Keep enjoying the sleep when you can and if you need to nap that's fine too x
I would say embrace the sleep now - your body clearly needs it and you’ll soon have a newborn who can be notoriously wakeful! Bank all the sleep you can get 😇💚
Sleep, girl, sleep! ❤️
I was like that with my first one the week before my waters broke. It’s like mg body was getting ready for the big day

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.

toddler speech
my son is 17 months old and only says 2 words that have meaning should i be concerned that he isn’t trying to talk or communicate at all? i feel i have tried everything i can.
(he has said lots of words in the past but seems to never use them again after a few times)

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?
