Day time naps - 10 week old

What is everyone doing for daily naps? Put them down in a dark room or sleep in day light so they can tell the difference between night and day? My little one sleeps perfectly at night in a dark room in a love to dream swaddle sleep suit but is a cat napper during the day without his sleep suit and doesn’t usually exceed 45 mins per nap. I don’t want to use the sleep suit during the day as I’ve heard people say it should be associated with bed time only.

Fashion babes help me in the comments 😭

I’m buying a bag for holiday, I’ve decided to splurge on just one and then maybe buy another 2 cheap ones as back up.

Problem is I’m indecisive 🫠 I’ve managed to narrow it down from 13 to 4 bags but I still can’t choose

SUMMER

LADIES. what are we doing about the summer sun!? My sons bed time is 8pm. He usually sleeps all through the night and goes down without a problem. However the glaring light through his window says NO. How on earth can i put him to bed when the suns still out like its mid day!?

I have questioned buying black out curtains, but surely when the heatwave truely kicks in thats going to turn his room into even more of an oven since our windows face the sunrise.

Also speaking of heat. How are we gonna tackle the heat wave in little ones rooms? Hes just turned 2 and i cant put a plug in fan or buy an ac unit and put it in there because that would be a major danger hazard. So what? Do i buy a ceiling fan? Is that even gonna do anything?

Im genuinely stumped mate.

First time calling poison control

I feel so terrible. My two year-old got into a bottle of fix vapor rub took a big handful of it and shoved it in my five months old face and some of it got in her mouth. I googled it and it said to call poison control, so I did. I gave her. The percentage of the drug told her how much I thought she ingested and gave her my five month olds weight. And she said it’s not enough for me to go ahead and go to the ER and I should just monitor her and call back in four hours to let them know if she’s doing OK. I never had to call poison control with my son and I feel like such a bad mom. I feel like it has been way harder than the second time around.

Baby still hasn’t slept through the night..

Has anyone else’s baby still not slept through the night?
He has gotten better now he’s in his own cot for the last month or so, however he will wake up during the night and often stay awake for 1-2 hours before going to sleep. He will always wake for one bottle during the night and has a full 7oz-9oz like he’s starving! But he has 3 meals a day and at least 3-4 bottles too, he only has 2 naps a day ranging from 30 minutes to 1.5hrs, it’s like he doesn’t need that much sleep and has never slept more than 5-6 hours during the night usually from 8 until 1/2am then awake for 2hrs then back to sleep until 6am, my HV keeps saying it’s normal and he will grow out of it.. please tell me they grow out of it 😂 or is there anything I could do to help him sleep longer? 🤞🏻

Nonexistent sex life

Hey Mommas,
Our daughter is 18months co-sleeps. She started out in a crib, and moved her into a cot (still in our bedroom) at 6months, but when she was 10months old she was really sick, in and out of hospital, so we wanted to give her more comfort when she got home and put her in bed with us. After that we couldn't bear to not have her in bed with us, and she's been a fantastic sleeper ever since.

However, since she's been in our bed, our sex life has completely died because obviously she's in there with us, but we're also not at a stage where we can leave her in our bed by herself to have couple's time elsewhere in the house.

When does this change?
