Nap times

I have a (nearly) four month old baby, she goes down in her cot for around 30 min naps in the day but if she sleeps on me she could go for 2+ hours - how long should I be letting her sleep for? She still seems to sleep through the night regardless, just seems like a really long nap! She also gets upset if I disturb her. Maybe it’s a stupid question x

Just let her sleep imo. In my experience naps don't affect night sleep until toddler age. They have a lot of growing to do and milestones to hit until then, so I let mine just sleep however long they need to and it can be different each day.

Not a stupid question! If you’re okay with being nap trapped then just let it happen because before you know it you won’t be napped trapped again :(
Remember they are little humans there are times where they will be more tired or hungry and less tired and hungry. As long as baby is eating well let them sleep and enjoy those snuggles while you can!! 💛

Social media really knows how to unlock new fears 😅

I just saw an Instagram reel saying babies can refuse breastmilk when your period comes back or if you get pregnant 😳

This hasn’t happened to me (yet), but now I’m low-key stressing… has anyone experienced this?? Did your baby actually refuse feeds or was everything fine?

Would love some real experiences because social media has me spiralling a bit 🥲

I had the thought “I hate you” and it scared me 😭

I’m 2 weeks PP and sleep deprived and exhausted. I had the thought and then felt incredibly guilty and scared. I love my baby so much and I would never do anything to hurt her so this thought freaks me out. I think more accurately I’m just struggling right now and hate some of the changes in my life.

Pregnancy snoring anxiety

I have started snoring and apparently it is *loud*.
I have major anxiety about keeping other mums awake on the labour ward after giving birth. I’ve tried saline spray and trying nose strips tonight but I think I’m more stressed about this than labour! Anyone else in the same boat or have any advice?
Thank you!

MUMS OF 3

I have a 2 year old and a 2 month old, even though I’m so freshly postpartum I do want one more. Am I going crazy? What’s it like having that extra kid? What’s a good age gap ? Maybe I’ll wait until my newborn is 4?

Milk supply

I normally have oversupply but since last night my supply has dropped massively and baby even had a dry nappy between midnight and 3.30am. Usually it is at least wet.

How can I get my supply back? I normally feel engorged if he sleeps 4.5-5 hrs without a feed but tonight I don't feel anything
