NAPS!

My LO is 7mo today i read everywhere that she should be on 3 naps a day at this age but shes still on 4! I tried a 3 nap day last week and she was massively overtired and a nightmare come bed time. Yet on 4 naps she goes to bed a dream! I know they say every baby's different but I dont know what to do!

Leave her on 4 if it’s what works for you x

Follow her cues! My girls always been “late” transitioning down in naps. She’s still on 2, and 17 months

Do what works for you, one size doesnt fit all. The nap scheduling is a very Western trend and was made to fit parents need for predictability rather than focusing on the baby's need. As long as baby is happy and rested, the rest doesnt matter.

Yeah do what works for you ❤️ my little girl was on 3/4 a few weeks back and then started transitioning to 2 naps (she's 7m1w) all based off the sleep they need/want. I found my little one could actually go longer without sleeping and then wasn't fussing as much as she used to. Babies are weird creatures

Shein clothes

Im starting to look at getting some clothes. My partner doesn't like the idea of clothes from Shien because of the possible chemicals. Has anyone ever had any issues with baby clothes from them?

NAPPY/DIAPER PREFERENCE

So I’ve been trying out different nappies to find the best for baby girl. With my eldest daughter I used pampers and they were rubbish so I didn’t bother with them and switched to Aldi nappies and only used Aldi nappies with my son. Huggies are a no go for me.

So far number 3 (rascals) have been working the best for baby girl with number 4 in close second.

Which nappies if any of these have you found the best for your LOs?

1. Tesco (Fred and Flo)
2. Asda (Little Angels)
3. Most supermarkets (Rascals)
4. Aldi (Mamia)

If you have any other suggestions for other brands please feel free to drop a comment 🩷

My babys sleep im worried

Does anyone else's baby sleep through the night? I'm worried because the last to nights my baby has slept from 10/11pm till 7am but this is a new thing that started about 3 days ago normally hed wake up around 4/5 for a bottle, hes having enough ounces during the day so I dont know whether he is cluster feeding then just sleeping through the night. But if I search it it says its unusual and could be something going on hes 3 months old xx

Toddler discipline...is it only spanking that works!?

My son is 2 in August and of course being very difficult now. I follow parenting clips online with Deborah tilman and she is great. No kid beating involved. But the comments are then full of people saying the kid needs spanking...
I have to admit gentle parenting won't really work on my son he doesn't want negotiations and explanations, he needs natural consequences as he just doesn't listen or understand. But I don't want to hit him...
For example bath time has become a fight so last night I just dumped him in still crying and washed him anyway, no messing.
Is there somewhere between spanking (illegal in the UK where I am) and gentle parenting?

Burping a newborn

Does anyone have any tips for burping a newborn. My baby is 2 weeks old and breastfed, and I've been really struggling to get any good burps out of him.

I know that breastfed babies generally have less gas, but sometimes he does the little gassy smile or scrunches his knees up & no matter what I try I can't get a burp out of him. He's also very fussy and wriggly when I get him into any burping position.

GHIC card for baby

Has anyone successfully applied for this for their baby? The NHS page says you need a NI number which obviously I don’t have for my baby. Otherwise it says I can add family members to my
own application, but I already have a card. Hope someone can help!
