My 10.5 month old can go 8 hours or more without a nap?!

He will go down for a morning nap really easily for 90 mins pretty much every day and sleeps well through the night. However, once he's awake (about 11am) he doesn't seem want a 2nd nap and has been more and more like this for the last few weeks. I've tried the same as the first nap (his cot with curtains closed and white noise), I've tried the car, I've tried taking him on a 90 min pram walk, I've tried exhausting him with play time and I've tried earlier/later wake windows. He sometimes goes down if I do the cot option but he cries for about 30 mins which I obviously don't like and it also seems to defeat the object of a nap!! Is anyone else in a similar scenario?!
He wakes up about 6ish, first nap at 9.30, wakes at 11, then nothing (and I daren't try after 4.30 as it's too near bedtime at 7-7.30 !
Please let me know 🙏

I'm in the same boat! He'll often do a second nap really late on my husband once he's home from work but usually just a half hour. He struggles to settle on me now or in pram which is inconvenient 😅 goes down for the first nap fine in his cot. His bedtime is about 7.30 too and the late nap being around 4ish often doesn't affect this luckily. We wake him before 5. X

Oh this is reassuring! The pram walks used to work for me and have stopped!! Does yours ever skip the 2nd nap completely?! Mine has started doing this a lot (makes bedtime much easier as he's straight to sleep but I feel bad he's been awake so long!!)

It might be time to push his nap time back and do just one nap. My guy did the same thing. Slowly inch him towards 11am.

Oh really? I did wonder. This might help me with getting to groups on a morning as currently avoiding them all for his nap time atm!!
Thanks

Is a rockit worth it?

Baby will immediately wake up as soon as I stop walking/moving the pram. Does the rockit really work? Just want some opinions as they’re so expensive!

20 month old holding pee overnight

The last 3-4 days I have woken up to bone dry nappies. I have consciously been trying to get her to consume more water and she is acting herself so I don’t have a feeling anything is “wrong”, she has also been having wet nappies in the day. Is this normal for this age?

I’m not ok…

I’m one week postpartum and I’m not ok.
I’ve been crying for days now.
I have so much on my plate rn.
I’m just mentally not ok. I wanna do what’s best for my boys but it seems like to everyone else I’m not doing enough. I feel guilty cuz my twins are in NICU. I’m on leave from my job with no pay. I know my house is a mess since I was in the hospital for almost 3 months. Trying to find somewhere to live to as there is no space in my apartment anymore. Trying to find a work from home job so I can be with my babies. I also have BPD which is not helping at all…
I just…
I’m just not ok and just keep it to myself.

6 months postpartum and pregnant

Help! I have a 6 month old and found out this morning I’m pregnant again… my main worry is that I breastfeed and my daughter is very much attached to my boob…

Breastfeeding or Bottle

Im only 17 weeks pregnant (first baby) and just come back from seeing the midwife. Shes given me loads of booklets and information on breastfeeding and talked about it alot in our catch-up.

I can see the health benefits for baby & me, but i still dont feel its something i want to do? They made me feel like if i dont breastfeed i wont bond with my baby and like i’m going to be a bad mum right from the start!

How many of you have bottle fed formula from birth and do you have any reassurance this is perfectly ok to do?!

In the trenches right now!

Omg post C-section is so hard. I’m 2 weeks PP.
My 4yo is being utterly unbearable the last few days, hubby is off work for a while so able to entertain him but he’s also doing shopping, cleaning and helping me & baby.

I’m breastfeeding constantly. Trying to take it easy and recover whilst running on 3/4 hours sleep 🙈 it’s just all too much. My 4yo just keeps having meltdowns , screaming and crying at the slightest thing upsetting baby when she’s asleep and acting really spoilt. He’s not listening to much & I’m annoyed I can’t do more, the house is a total mess, laundry up to our eyeballs, not much outside help as we live over an hour away from family. When does it get easier!?
