Nap time help

My 2.5 yr old takes 1 nap a day and now my 11 mo old is officially 2 a day. How do other moms do it? I can’t leave the house if either one are sleeping in crib and stroller rides aren’t as restful and i don’t drive long enough for an hour and a half nap.

How I did, first nap was at home before leaving the house, than we had a short window of 2 hours to do something than second baby nap at home and than toddler nap at the same time
1st nap was around 8:30am so I would cut that nap maximum of 1 hour to get out of the house by 9:30am than second nap was around noon for both kids
Of course it would vary some days and not work sometimes but usually it did work 🙏 its just annoying to get oit of the house to stay out for only 1 hour but it is what it is 🤷‍♀️

Have pampers changed

I had a nappy raffle at my baby shower and have loads of nappy’s but the ones on the left are what I’ve found best and I am running low on them. They are elastic around the front and back unlike the ones on the left I’ve opened 3 more packs of pampers and they are all like the ones on the right. Have they changed or are they a specific style/name

Hospital bag

Hey ladies. Planning to bottle feed my bubba. Do hospitals have sterilising equipment or should I pack multiple bottles already sterilised? Thank you 🩵

Trouble breastfeeding

I’ve been exclusively breastfeeding my little girl who’s now 4 and a half months old. During that time I’ve had mastitis twice. I’ve been prescribed antibiotics and strong painkillers. Every week there’s always a new lump in either one breast or both which causes me so much discomfort and pain. The area is sore, tender and very uncountable so breastfeeding can hurt. It also hurts to hold her close to my chest because of the lump. The other day I also had a blocked milk duct as there was a white dot on my nipple. I’ve seen the doctors and taken medicines but seems like there’s always a new lump appearing. The doctor mentioned to do hot and cold compresses as well which tbh doesn’t seem to help. I’m feeling quite down about it all and wonder if switching her to formula would be better for her and myself. Has anyone had anything like this happen to them? I would appreciate any advice or tips. Thank you!

Clocks changing

Anyone else anticipating the clocks changing for babies sleep? My LO is 4 months and she usually goes down anytime between 9-10pm so i am hoping it changes to 8-9pm now so i get abit of an evening back. Although she will probably wake slightly earlier. Anyone been through this allready?

Diapers

I have a 20m old and a 2 month old. Both boys. My 20m old is in size 5 daytime and overnight diapers. My 2m is in size 1. What are we all doing to help with peeing through? Both children pee through their diapers at night (my 2m gets changed during his 3am feeding). I make sure both are always pointed down. do I need to go up a size? I’m at a loss.

Mums with bubs under 1

What time does your LO wake up for the day? And how many naps are they taking?
