Sleep
I deleted the apps because they are too much for my brain to handle and would send me into over drive but is there a 5 month sleep regression?

My baby is still going strong on no sleep from 16 weeks and he's almost 6 month š. It just all depends on if they're learning something new or teething or developing etc
Im feeling like there is. We've gone from a 7h stretch, dream feed, then 5h stretch. Back to waking up every 4h again. I was just starting to feel normal again š©š©šŖ
In the same boat we have never had a full nights sleep yet used to go many a couple of hours but now it's every hour all night again, exhausted is an understatement. We will all get there though ... Eventually lol

Sleep
My LG (2.5) has always been a great sleeper. She still naps during the day, usually for anywhere between 1.5ā3 hours, but lately sheās been fighting her naps and theyāre getting later and later. But when shes gone, shes sparko!
Weāve had a few days recently where she hasnāt napped at all, and if sheās kept busy, she gets delirious by the end of the day before sleeping from 7pmā6am.
However, if weāre having a quieter day at home or I canāt get out, she might finally nap from 1ā3pm. I try not to let her nap that late because it pushes bedtime back to around 10pm, but I also donāt want to keep her awake when sheās clearly exhausted, whinging and in need of sleep.
Does anyone have any tips for gently waking a toddler from a nap so they donāt sleep for so long? Or is it time to drop naps altogether? Alternatively, how can I get her back into the routine of napping from 12ā2pm like she used to?
I know she obviously still needs the sleep, but our days are now starting at 5am, and Iām struggling to work out whatās best for her. I'm also aware the clocks go back soon which will fuck me even more. Shes up from 5/6am. She has so much energy and we play from the moment she opens her eyes till bedtime.
For context, I also have a 6-month-old who sleeps amazingly from 8pmā7am. This then means I sort my toddler out and have to wait upstairs until my baby wakes up as transporting her downstairs will wake her unnaturally.

Travel w/ Toddler
Moms that travel; Iām taking my 1 y/o (21months ) on her first trip tomorrow . Iām dreading taking her car seat . What do you normally do if you donāt travel w/ your car seat ? Can you request a driver with one on ride share apps ?

MIL keeps planning to have a sleepover with my EBF 6 month old
Sheās too pushy and Iāve said no endless times. Itāll be very stressful for him. I donāt pump because I donāt like it and my baby doesnāt like bottles. Iām currently trying to break nurse-sleep association. It doesnāt make any sense to attempt a sleepover because itāll be just stressful for baby and I. I just canāt be asked to keep saying NO. Itās almost harassment. I said itāll eventually happen once Iām back to work, not while Iām in mat leave as I donāt want to be away from my son yet. How can I approach this in a friendly way? Sheās just too much sometimes and Iāve been very friendly and open about the idea, but not about the timing.

Breastfeeding frequency during night
I am breastfeeding my baby and do pumped milk/ formula whenever it is absolutely required. Baby is 6.5 months old but she wakes up 5-6 times during night. Many of my friends said they will wake up less frequently once they're past 6 months. I have started solids as well in the morning.
Is it because of breastfeeding?
Should I just give formula before bed?

3 questions mamas!
1) how much sleep are you averaging at the moment? (Iām 3 weeks PP currently and baby is feeding every 3 hours, so getting 3 hours max of uninterrupted sleep)
2) are your babies really noisy and wriggly after night feeds but absolutely fine in the day?! If so, any tips please š
3) following on from above really, how long does each feed take? Mine is up from about 1.5 hours from each feed so itās sooo exhausting as she just wonāt settled afterwards and is really wriggly/nosiy
Just wondering if Iām doing something wrong as Iām so tired and if the feeds were a bit quicker at night/could get her back down quicker itād be so much better then I could actually sleep!
Thanks so much š„°
