Fighting naptime

I feel like we've dipped back into a trench here, for about a week or more LO is fighting naptime sooo hard. Twice now we've completely skipped the nap and one time it didnt happen until 3pm and then bedtime got pushed back till half 9. Managed to get the nap started at 1:15 today but there was about an hour of fighting it first. Showing all the cues of needing a nap at the usual times but springing back up just before sleep can take her 😭

Anyone in this trench with me? It's really putting a dampener on the middle of our day

Mine is doing this exact same thing!! I wonder if it’s a sleep regression around this age? We’re also finding when she goes she’s now waking up after 45 mins to an hour when she usually always has 2hrs😫 she’s super cranky too!

I am also going through something similar and just find it a nightmare to get her to nap. We’ve had to push her nap
To 2.15pm and she’ll nap for 2-3 hours so it’ll be a late and a probably
Rough night!

Naps for us are okayish but going to bed at night has become unbearable. It takes over an hour to get him to fall asleep. And he’s always been a very clingy child so I can’t even leave the room until he is asleep or he’ll start crying.

We had this recently. I started putting him in his sleepsack for the nap and that sorted it. We also capped his nap at 2 hours

Can’t believe I woke up to this

I woke up maybe a couple minutes after my seven month old woke up. He wasn’t crying so I let him be maybe five minutes later he starts crying so I go to get him out of his crib. As soon as I pick him up, I realized that he is covered almost head to toe in baby poo. Part of it he did himself. The other part of it because it was a blowout. It was all over his face, back, stomach, feet. I never thought I’d have to deal with them playing in their own poo until they were toddlers. 😭

Bed transition

Hey all, looking for some help or advice with sleep transitioning I bought my little boy a double floor bed and we can’t seem to get him in the bed on his own - one of us have to lie with him until he falls asleep and then crawl out but if he wakes up in the night he cries and ones of us has to get back in the bed with him and then around 5am he wakes up and turns his light on and just sits on his bed then I’m finding myself having to get into bed with him to get him to go back to sleep as he is tired. But running on a lack of sleep and time with my partner is starting to take its toll so hoping for some help advice and tips that people have done or is the solution to just co sleep with him👀

Baby registry

Does anyone have any advice on what to put on my registry? Especially considering the rising costs of things recently I don’t want to buy anything that isn’t necessary or that I’m gonna use for a month and then get rid of. So if anyone knows anything I definitely should have on my list or anything that I should definitely avoid it would be incredibly helpful!!

Rigevidon & Breastfeeding

I’m 6 weeks PP and at my 6 week check was prescribed rigevidon but I’m exclusively breastfeeding and have just read that you shouldn’t take it while breastfeeding as it reduces your supply

Is this correct? The GP did ask how i was feeding my baby so was aware i was exclusively BF, anyone else taken it while breastfeeding?

8 week injections

My little girl had her 8 week check up and injections today, she’s spent most of the day asleep but when she is awake she’s just screaming like she’s in pain 😭 it’s absolutely heartbreaking to see, is this normal?!

She’s had calpol and 3 bottles but didn’t drink a lot of them.

Nappies

I’ve always used pampers but they keep leaking when my baby has a blowout! Does anyone recommend any brands that barely leak? I’m not a fan of Lidl or Aldi’s nappies so I’m not interested in buying them!
