Wake up time

Probably nothing I can do - but my 3 year old goes to bed at 7pm probably falls asleep at like 7:15/7:30pm - and wakes 6am on the dot!

Even if we are out late or at a party and get home very late he still wakes at 6am and then he’s moody and irritable throughout the day -
It’s a stupid question but any way I can make him sleep longer lol or am I stuck with this body clock 😂

Do you usually listen to your body/intuition when you feel weird around someone or get bad vibes around someone?

I have had incidents in the past where my body had this involuntary feeling around certain people. I was unsure what exactly their intentions were during that time but I found out that my intuition was right. Except theh ended up being worse than I realized. A mutual friend told me about one of those people threatening to kill behind my back. (He went to jail for that after that) and the other person was a lady who was trying to get me in trouble when I was innocent. My social anxiety is off the charts after these traumatic experiences. There is someone else in my life now who gives off very mixed vibes. On one hand he is nice to my face. He seemed to have good intentions for the most part even if I didn't agree with everything he does. (We agree on a lot of things but he also does a lot of things that I don't agree with.) But now I am at a point where I feel panic anytime he is around me. I feel so judgemental but almost anytime that I ignored my intuiton and gave the people the benefit of the doubt it got worse. Its made my trust issues worse and made me afraid to get close to anyone whether it is a friend or family member or partner.

Ready for baby to come

Anyone else basically ready for baby to come 😅 I'm hoping that I'm early with this one as long as he's healthy and at a good weight(so far he is compared to my first)
I'm sick of being uncomfortable and in pain around my pelvis

30min naps only

Hello,
Are you guys letting baby have only short naps? Have you been in situation when baby had only 4 x 30min naps a day?
I usually extend one to 1 or 1.5hrs and then 3x30min. Yesterday I couldn’t extend one nap due to lack of time etc (being out and about) and we have had terrible night / evening actually. His last nap ended at 5pm. We put him to bed at 7pm (wanted earlier but he didn’t want to fall asleep). He then woke up after half an hour. We managed to resettle him but then he kept waking up every 5-10min with arms going up and wide eyes open then crying (startle reflex or moro reflex). We have been trying for 2 hours to put him sleep and he just kept doing it and not letting himself sleep. I’ve decided to put swaddle back (arms) and I think that helped him fall asleep (even though he shouldn’t sleep with arms in as he is rolling already but I do have breathing device - no hate please).
Have you been in similar situation? What time did you put baby sleep? Guessing he was super tired that was the reason of the startle reflex?
Napper app told me to put him sleep even later… chat GPT advised 7pm 🤷‍♀️
Probably today will be similar day so I just want to prepare myself…

Postpartum anxiety

I know anxiety is normal having a baby but I don’t think mine is normal. I’m in constant fear that something is going to happen to my baby but I immediately go to she’s going to die and I can’t cope with it. I was told it would be very hard for me to get pregnant and that I would need help but to our surprise we fell pregnant naturally. I was so anxious during my pregnancy I didn’t enjoy it as much as I should have and I never thought she’d get here, she did and she’s going to be 5 months old next week but the fear and anxiety is just getting worse. I thought it would be better when she was here but it is a lot worse than it ever was. I don’t want anybody holding her, looking after her, touching her nothing. She stayed at my mum’s over the weekend and she didn’t go by my rules that I have to keep her safe and it’s sent me into a ball of anxiety. She’s absolutely fine but it’s overruling my life and I don’t think I’m enjoying my baby as much as I should because of how scared I am. Does anyone have any tips that I could maybe use to try and help me with this?

I am lost

Nursing to sleep?

So my baby is 6 months old now and I’ve always nursed him to sleep and for the first few months we were blessed with a good sleeper, he’s hit a sleep regression, but only on nights I’m home. I work weekend nights and he sleeps great for my husband but when I’m home he’s back to waking up every 2-3 hours. We’ve followed the same bedtime routine as when I go to work and he’s on the same nap schedule but it’s like when I’m home he wakes up to use me as a pacifier. My husband thinks we should sleep train but I just feel so sad not comforting him to sleep. Is this temporary or does it actually create a bad habit?
