Sleep times.. HELP🤣

So my little girl is just over 6m, wakes in the morning any time between 6-7 am, she’ll have about a 2 hour wake window and have her first nap. This is about a 45 min to 1 hour nap. Her next wake window is longer, can be up to 3 - 3.5 hours long, then she has her next nap which is an hour or more.
Now, today for example she woke around 4 pm from her nap, her bedtime is usually around 8 pm and we try to get a nap inbetween. Is this a sign she’s ready to drop her 3rd nap?
I can’t seem to time her last nap now before bedtime now her wake windows are getting bigger and she fights it like CRAZY😭 but would this mean I should start an earlier bedtime now and get her to bed for 7? It just seems a bit early but she’s been awake for 4 hours now which seems way too long 🤣 Tia x

Have you considered capping the second nap? I’m not going to lie, I know they say never to wake a sleeping baby but I do 😬

8 week vaccines

Anyone else feel like they have a different baby after 8 week jabs? He had a temp and was fine the following day but since then we have had a week of him looking grumpy and screaming crying because he’s fighting sleep during the day. But sleeps fine at night 🙈 wondering it’s it’s just a phase or related to his jabs.

Do you breastfeed you baby to sleep and co-sleeping?

I have to breastfeed my 9 months old baby to sleep for naps and nighttime, and I usually sleep with her on the bed. She slept well in the cot from 0 to 6 months. After i fed her, she normally felt asleep immediately and i put her in the cot, no issue and she slept throughthe night, but when she was at 7 months, after feeding I transferred her into the cot, she woke up every 10-15 minutes and cried out loud multiple times. It was exhausted, so I tried sleeping with her, and it worked. Now that I have to go back to work soon and send her to day care, I'm a bit worried i won't be able to do that. She also doesn't take bottles no matter what kind of milk. If you have any tips or advice, please let me know 🙏

Biting!

Anyone got any tips on discouraging a 9 month old from biting? 'No' and ignoring the behaviour aren't quite working 🤦🏻‍♀️I know they don't understand the difference between good and bad attention at this age, so it's really hard 🤦🏻‍♀️

AITA

Should I be mad that my husband sleeps all day long…? He works 4pm-12am but doesn’t go to bed till around 2:30am… then he sleeps until 2-3pm… he misses almost all of the day with his 2 year old child and I’m currently pregnant with baby #2… idk if it’s pregnancy hormones but it just makes me so irritated and depressed because he literally misses out on everything…

Advice about how to wean my boy off his night feed

My LO is 7 months and sometimes sleeps through the night and sometimes wakes for milk once a night. Most times he wakes up anywhere between 11pm-1am for a feed and sometimes he wakes u0 around 4am for a feed. We decided to stop dream feeding a few months back because we didn't want to reinforce night feeds. Since he's clearly able to sleep through the night occasionally I don't feel like he needs the feed it's maybe more habitual. Also I think it depends on how well he's eaten solids that day that might play a part on his sleep because I've tried filling him up on milk during the day but that doesn't make a difference. He can even sleep through the night on less than his usual intake sometimes. Any tips on how to wean him off without it becoming a big battle or do I just leave him and let him lead because I'm worried he won't stop by himself?

Hubby/Birth Partner stay overnight in hospital??

Hi! So with my last baby, birth partners staying overnight in hospital was not a thing but I understand most hospitals let them stay overnight now. Do the majority of people plan to have their partner stay overnight or will they be going home to get some sleep so they are more energised to help when you go home from hospital? Currently undecided what is the best idea
