NAPS!

Has anyones baby moved down to 3 naps?! If so what does it look like? I’m unsure if my little one is trying to ditch the 4th nap or not!

Saw another post about rear facing vs forward facing and was just amazed at responses….

The fear mongering around forward facing is incredible… rear facing obviously is preferable but people talk about it as if the alternative is negligent.
Rear-facing being safest often gets interpreted emotionally as “forward-facing is unsafe.” And they just are not the same thing.

I’ve got 3 kids and have done both for different reasons… Living in 2026, forward facing seats are continuously designed to be safer each year. Just wanted to put it out there as we often feel like we aren’t doing enough or are constantly scrutinised as mothers anyway. Do what’s best for your child, you aren’t a bad parent.

5 months pp, still don’t want sex…

I’m 5 months postpartum and it’s still painful to have sex. I had a C Section, so the scar still feels weird and uncomfortable being touched down there. Has anyone else gone through this? Is it normal or should I be worried?

Dr Google says my body could still be in shock from having a baby and it’s stopping me from enjoying anything.

Bath too hot?

I feel horrible, my baby is 4 months old and she usually likes her baths. And I’m usually good at reading the temperature before I put her in, but this time I feel like I wasn’t. She was ok initially but then all of a sudden as I was cleaning her hair she because fussy and her face changed. Then she because upset and wanted to move out of her bath seat. So I quickly picked her up as the crying got worse and her skin was hot. I then laid her on her mat to soothe her and let her cool down. She is ok now and back to her smiley self but I feel horrible knowing I put her in and it was too hot for her!!! ☹️☹️☹️

I cannot be the only mum heading to bed right after I put my toddler down????

I'm a SAHM with a 15 month old. She naps a total of 1 hour during the day. Still on 2 naps. I'm EXHAUSTED by 7.30pm when she goes to bed. She is up at 6am so I literally find myself crawling into bed the moment I've got her down. Sometimes I scroll for an hour. But sometimes I'm going straight to sleep.

Anyone with me???

Still not talking yet

My LO will be 18 months in a few weeks and still has not said their first word, they babble but thats as far as it gets. They know waving, high fives, points and kisses but they dont always do it. Its hard to get their attention by name. Im getting worried does anyone have advice or similar with their child?

Little one cries when my husband holds him

Our son is just over 5 weeks old, and for the past 2–3 weeks he cries almost every time my husband holds him. The only position he seems comfortable in is the “football” hold, but he won’t nap that way.

It’s becoming really stressful for both of us. I feel like I can’t properly nap, get ready, or let my husband settle him during the night without him crying, and I know it’s upsetting for my husband too. What makes it harder is that our son is happy and naps being held by other family members.

Is this something other parents have experienced, and does anyone have any advice or solutions that helped?
