Only 1 nap needed?

Not sure if anyone else is in the same boat. My boy is about 10 and half months and went down to 2 naps over a month ago. I feel over the last few days he's been resisting his naps again I'm cautious about lengthening his wake window in the morning it may mess up his second nap or he won't take it. Is anyone in the same boat or babies taking 1 nap.

My LG will be 10 months Friday. Her naps vary some days she will have 2 but majority of days she will have 1 nap going between 12-2 and nap for 2 hours sometimes longer. Then bed between 7-9 depending on her nap

My daughter is on one nap (my first also dropped at the same age). Same as hayleigh she does about 11-1 or 12-2 so 5/5 or 5/5.5 wake windows

Mine has dropped to 1 nap! She is 10.5 months and it started about 10 months. Our difficulty is she often doesn’t nap more than 1.5 hours though so I’m hoping it lengthens a bit so I can push bedtime to 7/7.15. She goes down around 12pm.

Omg meeeee !!! I’m struggling atm today was insanely difficult with him! He had 1 nap for 15 minutes I’m not even messing - fights it all day x

For some its just a fomo phase, we temporarily dropped down to 1 but back to 2 again now.

Relactation

Has anyone started their breastfeeding/pumping journey again after a very long break of dry. I haven’t breastfed or pumped for 3 months and I’m thinking about restarting. I just pumped and got a small amount of colostrum out but I don’t know if I’ll ever get a supply back.

So you think babies are smarter with?

I had a first time dad say babies that's breastfed have a 3% iq higher than a baby that's being formula feed. I told him it don't matter if they are breastfeed or formula feed it depends on the parents if they are teaching them and sI ending time with them vs just putting them in front of a tv or tablets. He said I sound stupid.

Nappies or pull ups?

Are you supposed to change from nappies to pull ups when they start walking? I’m still using nappies

Sleep training guilt

We've just sleep trained our 4.5 month old and it's worked really well. Gone from 4-5 wake ups each night with needing to feed back to sleep + nerve wracking transfers, to 10.5 hour sleeps with minimal stirring and no crying to sleep. He's a happy boy during the day too, and goes down for naps fairly easily in his cot too.

We did NOT use the cry it out method, but still why does social media shame me and make me feel like the worst parent ever 😥 there are so many nasty comments about how I don't love my son if I chose to sleep train him and how I've created attachment issues, despite no research suggesting that whatsoever.
Sorry, just came to vent ☹️

Experience with not circumcising

Hi!
Having my baby boy any day now. My first is a girl and in a way that felt easier for the sake of feeling like I know what comes with being a girl. Me and my partner decided not to circumcise our son but everyone I know has been circumcised or circumcised their sons. I understand why people do circumcise it but it’s not something I’m comfortable with and don’t want to for the sake of “everyone else does it”.

Can anyone give me advice or tips or what to expect with not circumcising their sons? Feeling lost and anxious over it.

TIA!

Does your baby wake up

I have a 4 month old when he is sleeping dad and I will start having sex. Since the baby was born he will wake up almost every time. He’s usually a hard sleeper.
Is this normal? If this happens to you is your baby a boy or girl?
