Sleep regression and routine

HELP PLEASE! Everyone keeps telling me to stick to a routine and the sleep regression will pass. How is this actually possible as the moment she’s in her car seat or pram she falls asleep?! I also keep putting in her dummy when she wakes up as that seems to settle her straight away. Is this the wrong thing to do?!

Everything I’ve read about the regression just says it’s something to just ride out and there is nothing you need to ‘do’ in order to get your baby through it. It’s just a change in sleep cycles so don’t worry too much about routines. The only routine we have is bedtime really and at this point that’s more for us! Do what you need to do to get through it. It does come to an end eventually x

I'm just letting my little one sleep when he wants to in the day. Like Ellie, we stick to a bedtime routine and he does well with that, but daytime naps are just when he wants one and sometimes it's as little as 20 minutes!

Unpopular opinion 👀

Baby sleep consultants have made an industry out of exhausted mums wanting a ‘fix’ to their babies sleep, even though there’s no such thing

Breast pumps

Hi, I'm a first time mum and would like to breastfeed. I'm 23weeks and trying to buy along the way, to spread the cost and not leave everything until the last min as I'm anxious about birth.

I want to get a portable breast pump as we have an active lifestyle. What does everyone recommend? Preferably something that won't break the bank 😊

Prams !!

Currently 22/40 with our first baby!! We plan on having 2 under 2, would it make sense to purchase a double stroller to avoid a secondary cost with the second bay?

How many words does your 15MO say?

This post is not to put anyone or their baby down especially if that baby is having difficulties I’m just curious how many words other children My daughter‘s age are saying because she surprises me. She’s been saying words since she was about 2 1/half months old it started with little words like go out dad mama and she’s already at the point where she’s repeating random words out of nowhere I didn’t think kids started doing that till they were a bit oldershe says far more than 25 words at this point I couldn’t even name them all and like I said every day she says something new she repeats words out of nowhere and I didn’t think a kid that young really started repeating repeating words, unless they’ve sat down and it’s been worked with saying that word but she’ll just say things out of nowhere. She’s already starting to try to put two words together and at her doctors appointment yesterday her doctor told me that that’s actually a skill for two-year-olds what do y’all think and how much is your 15 month old saying?

How many roughly are we taking to hospital?

Sick note due to mental health

Hi everyone,
I am currently almost at the end of my 2nd months of fit note due to mental health, this is the first time going 2 months and above . Now i am thinking of getting a 3rd fit note due to the fact i feel i still not all that strong to resume work. My question now is, do gp give you a 3rd one which makes it 3 months of being off from work or it s not allowed?
