Help 🥲🥲🥲

So, my girl woke at 6 am this morning, had her first nap at 8 am for 40 minutes, had her second nap at 11:40 am for 2 hours?! (She’s super grumpy and clingy recently, so I let her sleep incase it was her teeth or poorly) and now she won’t have her cat nap for bridge to bedtime. Her bedtime is around 7.30-8.30 pm.
I know this is probably because she had such a big nap but my parenting skills don’t go this far 😆, do I keep her up and start bedtime earlier and get her to bed for like 6.30-7 pm or keep trying the cat nap? My only worry is this wake window would be MASSIVE if I do 😆 she’s 7 months in 3 days.
Thanks in advance 🥲🤣

When this happens with my LO if I even try to out her down before 7 30 she fights it more like she knows it isnt really bedtime. Keep trying with the contact nap. Last nap I feed on the sofa and let her sleep on me for 30mins just to Bridge :) good luck

You’re lucky she’s napping 🫣 My 6 month old daughter has such short naps ! How do people find the time to do stuff in the house with this ?? 😩 She’s also gone off her milk 😣

We tend to follow the Taking Cara Babies wake windows. This was my boy this week though, I tried for a short nap around 4 so he wasn’t overtired but still had enough time awake before bed. Sometimes he’ll happily skip the nap though! The other day it took 45 minutes to get him down, only for him to wake up 25 minutes later 🥴 he’s always been awful with naps, bedtime isn’t much better either 😅

I have to do the last nap in the car otherwise it is a fight !

TLC for boobies on the larger end of the scale.

Breastfeeding mama here, and my poor boobs look like a sad elephants ears - huge and droopy.

Any recommendations for nursing bras the actually offer support and lift? I’ve never been a fan of underwires but if that’s what it takes to stop me kicking my tits when I walk then so be it… these non-wired ones are no match for my bazoomas right now.

Also, what breast pads are we using? The disposable ones get scrunched up and trapped under the boob, the inserts fold over on themselves, and the reusables disappear with socks in the wash. At a loss here!

Topless Sunbathing

My baby is 10 months old and prior to being pregnant, I'd have no worries about sunbathing topless (in an appropriate setting like my garden or on holiday where there are no children). Since having the baby, it almost feels inappropriate now. Thoughts?

FTM - Sleep Help

My little boy is 11 days old and constantly goes into his side slightly when sleeping, I always put him on his back and seem to be correcting him throughout the night but he always ends up in this position.
Is this safe? Or does anyone have advice?

Sleep regression and co-sleeping/contact naps

Does anyone co-sleep and contact nap to get their way through the sleep regressions? My little one is going through an 8 month regression and we contact nap again and co-sleep when the night gets bad, am I creating a bad habit? Will he get out of it again on his own? I don’t know what to do 🙈

Stains out of clothes

So I washed my daughters leggings yesterday and as you see they are most likely stained 🤦 can anyone recommend a good stain remover please!!!
The one I used to get was elbow grease but struggling to get it

Refusing to nap

My little one is nearly 6 months and up until now has been very good at napping. However, the past week or so she is refusing to nap. I have tried contact naps and putting her down in her next to me.
She is so tired and will cry if I put her down, if I hold her, doesn't want to play or take a bottle etc. She will just cry and rub her eyes like she is exhausted.
The only place she will nap is in the car if we go out.
Has anyone else experienced this, I'm hoping it is just a phase.
