My LB is nearly 18mnths we dropped a nap at 16 months as he was so ready!
Currently 6pm bedtime and sleeps through till 6am, nap 11am-12/1230 took a few days but soon got the crack

If he goes to bed any later he wakes up anywhere between 3am and 5am for the day so 6pm is our winner 😅

We dropped the second nap only a month and a big ago as he was ready and basically told us as bedtimes where a nightmare!

7-7.30pm is Bedtime he will slept through till somewhere between 7-7:30am and he nap is usually between 12.00-12.30pm has lunch before and a snack (yoghurt etc) when he was up which is usually 1hr40 sometimes 2hrs! ☺️

6:30 wake up, breakfast, milk and snack, sleeps around 11:30 until 1 and has her lunch when she wakes up. Bedtime 8:30

3/4 months changes

Hi writing this out of exhaustion. My baby’s long stretches have suddenly disappeared and baby waking more frequently at night and won’t settle unless on me belly to belly? It’s not a feeding thing as baby is waking shortly after his night feed unsettled. Baby also not gassy or got wind.

Breastfed babies who sleep through the night… do you wake up to pump?

My EBF 3 month old has been sleeping through the night from 7 pm - 5:30 am. I’m worried about my supply dropping… should I be waking up to pump at night, or just feeding more often throughout the day to keep my production up?

Is you baby talking yet?

By cooing I mean ah, eh, squeals etc no actual word sounds like ma/ da/ ga etc

Colic, reflux, upset tummy? HELP

My now 5 week old daughter has been spitting up milk since the beginning. I breastfeed throughout the day and night and give one bottle (Hipp organic) before the night at around 10.30pm

She does plenty of wet nappies and was back at her birth weight within the first 2 weeks, and has continued to gained weight, so I have no worries from that aspect, but I still have a week to go until her 6 week appointment and want to understand is this reflux, colic or something she is suffering with?

Her tummy goes hard and I can tell she is uncomfortable especially between 6pm and midnight. I googled “techniques for babies with colic” and used the baby massage techniques on her yesterday and she was able to poo 3 times within the next hour (she hadnt done it that day or the day before).

I have been reading some posts here saying an osteopath could help, so called up the osteopath I used to use for my son (he didn’t have these issues and it was more for a regular check up (first time mum just doing anything and everything)), but her next availability is in July. Would an osteopath really be able to help?

How do I know what’s up with her and what methods should I use to help her?

Rolling in sleep

Had a scary moment last night where I woke up around 4am to the sound of my baby struggling to breathe. He was laying on his front. He clearly rolled onto his front and then got stuck or...was too asleep to roll back, I'm not sure. Either way, I was scared hearing him gasping for air. I picked him up and he was ok.
But what if I hadn't woken up and checked on him?!!!

How do I prevent this from happening again???
Without staying up all night watching him.

Toddler starting to hit and pinch

Ok so my toddler is starting to hit and pinch and then he only bites us when he’s teething but sometimes it’s aggressive and won’t let go. Does anyone else go thru this and what did you do because we’ve tried different things and nothing helps. And honestly he’s just not listening to me mostly his dad idk if it’s cause I’m the one who’s home with him all day but maybe I should start time outs ?? Idk please help
