Not sure if this is weird so please don’t judge me. I bathed my 5mo old like twice a week - sponge baths as needed.

I'd say unless he is dirty or has a blowout in his sleep i wouldnt wake him. He is obviously very tierd and needs the sleep

I bathe him morning when he wakes up and night before he goes to bed ! I used to give him a sponge 🧽 bath in the morning but now that it’s getting hot I bathe him

If you are OP then I definitely wouldnt worry about waking him for one tonight if he is having one in the morning.

I'd say take this time to unwind and maybe have your own shower or sit in a nice hot tub of water with an ear out incase he wakes up..... but dont stress about him missing a bath.

Am I overreacting?

My LG goes to nursery 4 days a week (3 half days and 1 full day). We have to provide our own nappies and wipes and were told when they’re running out so we can restock, which is fine.

My issue is, the last few days, my LG has come home in a random nappy from a brand that isn’t hers and she’s started to become sore down there. When my partner brought it up to the baby room manager, her response was ‘oh well, babies are babies, it doesn’t matter and they pull them out the drawers’. For one, the drawers are high up as I’ve seen them so shouldn’t be getting pulled out and 2. If I’m providing nappies, use them because what if the persons nappies being used, can’t afford a lot?

We’ve had no issues with the nursery until this but I wonder if maybe I’m overreacting about it?

Comments from people about your child

Today i went to a cafe and a woman working in the cafe made a comment about my baby - said something like “shes a cheeky one, cries when i look at her”. My baby was crying so much as she looked at my baby so i was trying to console her and couldnt say anything back to her. But i said yes shes uncomfortable and she said “ill keep looking if she cries”. I was so angry that i just couldnt respond and took my baby away and later the woman disappeared.

I feel really guilty and sad about not being able to say anything back to her and not showing my anger in the moment. I also feel like i was not able to protect my baby from that woman although i took her away.

Has anyone had anything like that happen before and how did you manage comments like this?

Naps!

When did you all start dropping to 1 nap?

My daughter is nearly 15 months old, and always fights the first nap ( refusing basically to go down unless we’re out and she’s in the pram)

Her next nap is usually around 3:30-4pm lasting 1 hour 45 minutes, but I wake her up!

I’m thinking off starting to transition her to just 1 nap after lunch time for longer just to trial how she gets on.

Today she has been awake since 1:15pm and hasn’t wanted to nap at all! She’s been busy and occupied, so I’m taking her up for a bath about 6:45, then bed for 7:30-7:45.

Hoping for a good night!🤞🏼🤞🏼

Can/do you shower when home alone with your 14 month old?

If you are able to how do you do this? Do you shut them in the room with you?
