Help me 😂

Okay so my daughter has just gone down 😫 9:15pm. Is this normal at this age? My hubby and I have no evening together! And I feel like I’m going all day, I’m so exhausted 😴 (I do chores and have lunch while she naps, she naps 2.5 hours on average!)

She wakes up at 6:30am

Sleeps 12pm-2:30pm (today she fell asleep 11:50am)

And then she goes down at like 9:15pm 😫

Should I change something to get her into bed earlier? What’s everyone else’s routines?

My daughter has been the same recently. It got so ridiculous at bedtime that we’ve completely cut out all naps this week, and that seems to have got bedtime back to 7pm. I would try maybe cutting the naps shorter, 2 and a half hours is a long nap and a 5-6 hour wake window is ideal to build sleep pressure up before bed x

I haven't let my little boy nap for more than 1.5 hours (unless he's unwell) for a year. We wake at 0630 for work/nursery and he usually asks to go to bed by 7. If he's not super tired we play and run around and he's in bed by 7:30. He gets into bed, asks for his blanket and is generally asleep before I leave his room. He can be grumpy when I wake him (both after naps and in the morning) but is fine once we've had cuddles. We try to be very active during the day both mentally and physically and he eats as much as he wants for meals (we eat the same homemade meals). He does love his sleep and I'm hoping it stays that way

My LO is the same if her nap is 2 plus hours. I also wake her by 2pm. Today she fought her nap (which has never happened) so I actually put her to bed at 6pm 🙃 so we will see how tonight goes.
A normal day is 6.30/7 wake, 12.30 nap (60/90mins) and bed 7.30. I’m finding the last few months bed has shifted later as she’s been having longer naps in the day.

Today has shown me she is not ready for no nap yet as she’s was knackered by bedtime! X

When is too early for my ex partner to have my daughter overnight

Me and my ex broke up three weeks ago and he’s already asking to have her overnight. She is 8 months formula fed and semi co-sleeping

Since birth she has been very much dependent on me and breast fed for the first 3 months
Any advice?

How old is too young for overnights with dad ?

Moms, be honest has Ms. Rachel actually helped your baby?
Did you notice new words, signs, better communication, or anything else you could directly attribute to her? Or is she just a lifesaver when you need 20 minutes to get something done? 😂
I'd love to hear real experiences and how old your little one was when they started watching. 🤍

Hi Girls

When should I start putting my baby down to nap, atm i'm still contact napping every nap in the carrier because he either wakes as soon as I put him down or if he does stay asleep he only sleeps 30 mins or less, hes nearly 7 months, im actually completely fine contact napping but im feeling v bad about it as if im doing something wrong and I should be teaching him now 🤔

If your answer is keep contact napping then when long term should I stop? Hes going to Nursery at 9 months old

Am I too late ?

Hey ladies,

I’m nervous that I may have bit myself in the behind ! I’m 12 weeks and 5 days postpartum and I am trying relactate with pumping. I had a weird journey with latching and everything and after about 3-4 weeks of trying I ultimately gave up with latching. With pumping it was just so uncomfortable and painful at the time that I didn’t consistently do it. I was pumping max about 3-4 times a day spontaneously.

As stated above, Im 12+4 weeks postpartum and I am trying to build my supply or even make enough for her to have a few bottles per day/week. Any tips and tricks to building supply? I’m trying to get more calorie intake, also changed flanges so I now have my correct size and it is as comfortable as it should be to pump. I’ve been incorporating at least 2 power pump session a day ( 1 session is 60 minutes, the next is 40). I’m also trying to consistently pump more, yesterday I tracked 7 pumping sessions (which is way more than I’ve ever done in a day). I have the Eufy S1 pros, Hygeia Fit Pro, and the Lansinoh Signature Pro pumps. Lastly, I’ve been doing a MOTN pump. I am getting less than 1-2oz per pump.

Hmm

Since giving birth me and my partner haven’t been very intimate and it’s starting to feel like a marriage of convenience at times. I’ve been complimented a lot of by other women. Don’t get me wrong I’m straight but women are beautiful and I’m starting to have second thoughts what it would be like to be intimate with another woman.
