Naps !

First time I've ever posted anything on here so absolutely no clue how it works haha !
My eldest is 2 and she stopped her naps around 6 months ago and has been absolutely great with it but recently around 3-4pm she's acting really tired and getting really aggy and wingey ! Anyone have any experience with this or any advice on what to do ? 🤣

Between her and her little sister we are quite literally fighting for our lives at bedtime😅

Wow that's super early to drop naps, my son was like 3 and I missed those 40 mins to just decompress!
What does her day look like? Wake up time, bedtime, activities?

I know ! She kind of did it on her own so we just followed her lead and she's been absolutely fine but not suddenly it's like she needs them ? Oh god me too I miss it very much but I also don't want to go back a stage if you see what I mean ?
She wakes up around 7 ish, breakfast around 7:30-8 and then the days are pretty much always different, some days are quite days some are busy but whatever we do she's now always tired around 3-4 ish ! X

Could you maybe give her a 20 min refresh nap if she’s tired? Hopefully wouldn’t affect bedtime depending on when it is x

How about some quiet time after dinner, have some cozy on the sofa time and read or colour. Could assist with the tiredness late afternoon.
What time is bedtime?

Lip tie

Hey everyone! My son Arlo is 13 months, I'm a little bit worried he has a lip tie... doesn't seem to be in any distress or discomfort with it, what do you think?

Do you think sometimes parents expect too much out of a toddler?

A lot of times I see posts and sometimes they come off as they want their toddlers to have Boarding School behaviour or 5* eating habits and robot emotions. The moment they don't, then you see people comment to "whoop them" or therapy or label them as monsters etc. It's frustrating as adults when we are learning something new, so imagine what it's like for toddlers learning EVERYTHING new from their emotions to the world to walking, talking, eating, being independent. In my opinion sometimes there are too many expectations put on toddlers, I mean I trained pretty untrainable adults but I never said I hated them, obviously never wanted to smack them or tell them they needed therapy.

Question for mums of 2x

Ive got a 2yr old and a newborn (1x week old)

Interested to hear from other mums if you had kids with a similar age gap, what did you find the hardest or most challenging?

Just trying to mentally prepare myself for what could come.

Right now my fears are keeping up routines on my own when hubby goes back to work as I ebf and no idea how im going to be able to do it 😬

Breastfeeding

I’d like to breastfeed but not exclusively as I want my partner to be able to help out with feeds and have the flexibility. There are so many brands and I don’t know where to start!

Is it best to start with a manual one? Should I go with a wearable one like Momcosy? Any recommendations appreciated 🙏
