One nap transition

Has anyone done this yet and through the other side? 🫠
My LO is usually a really good sleeper until about 2 weeks ago. We’ve had split nights 12-3 every night for 2 weeks and starting the day at 6am as she’s wide awake, I even resorted to co-sleeping last night for the first time ever which is really really not a habit I want to get into (I know there are loads of benefits but our dog often hops in bed with us in the middle of the night so co-sleeping has always been a no go)
We’re then having some 2 nap days as she’s up so early, some one nap days and it’s feels really messy atm!
Was it as all over the place for anyone else that has made the transition yet?

No advice but we’re in the exact same boat! I find that regardless of her naps (we are also in the midst of sometimes 1 sometimes 2) , she just doesn’t sleep anymore at night and she’s getting up SO early !

We swapped between 1-2 naps for about 2 weeks but then he solidly went on to 1 nap. His night sleep has always been crap so it didn’t really affect that 😂

We are mostly one nap (have been since christmas) but will occasionally nod off in the car for 15 minutes ish depending on how long the drive is. When we first did one nap I would go out for 9 so he had a quick 10 minute power nap then make him power through to nap after lunch

We are mostly on one nap and have been for around 3 weeks but we do seem to still need the odd 2 nap day in there. It’s usually when he hasn’t had a very good single nap and wakes up early meaning early bed and early wakes for a few days.

On the plus side, I feel like one nap is SO much easier to manage. I don’t have to cap his night sleep or naps to protect other naps etc

We've been on 1 nap for 2 months as she was only doing 1 nap at nursery and insisted on doing the same at home. I am super strict on wake up and bedtime, only allowing for an 11hr night and she does the rest tbh hopefully things get better for you soon 🤞

Weaning poos

Is it normal for a baby to constantly poo when they start weaning? My daughter is pooing so much since we started weaning last week, as in every nappy has some amount of poo in it. Just want to make sure this is normal before contacting doctors etc

Talking

My son is 2 years and 6 months he can say alot of words me and his dad can make out what he's saying and he has improved a lot since starting nursery in January

However I know I shouldn't compare but when I see kids his age, they're speaking in sentences, can directly ask for what they want, and their communication is much more stronger. However, my son has great understanding and can follow instructions. His speech is not clear, but people can understand him. I don't know what I can do to support him further and I don't know if I should be concerned enough to take him to the doctors. I've taken him to the doctors before and they said that because he can understand things, he will eventually pick up more words and start saying sentences. This was when he was 2 years old.

Breastfeeding

I’m finding my 2 week old will feed on the breast for 5-10 minutes and then pull off? She’s putting on weight and otherwise healthy but it worries that it’s such short amount of time and then she’ll sleep for few hours.

Has anyone else found this?

Thanks!

Bottle washers

Should I invest in a bottle washer? We do not have a dishwasher. I am looking between the Mum cozy and the baby breeza (I’m from Australia, options are limited) thoughts?

Question

Who else baby go to sleep at 3am ,4am, 5am,6am ?! And wakes up at 2pm or 4pm and is only 5 months old ?

Bedtime help

My LO is 11 weeks old and she is so hard to get to sleep at night time. We don’t follow a set routine and follow her cues. She will contact nap throughout the day but naps are pretty inconsistent and if I try to transfer her she will wake up and cry straight away.

At night time she is so tired and fighting sleep so hard, we will give her a bottle or boob and she will be fast asleep but the second we put her in the cot she is wide awake and crying hysterically, but she will fall back asleep on me or her dad. Once she has been asleep on one of us for an hour to 2 hours we can then put her in her cot and she will sleep thought the night.

Any advice to get her sleep in her cot with out 1/2 contact sleep on a night time?
