Bedtime

My 3 yo boy has all of a sudden started really resisting bedtime, we do the usual routine etc and have it all calm however he has a massive burst of energy and sometimes starts hitting or throwing things when just reminding him it's bedtime. Is anyone else going through the same or similar and how are you going about it? Finding it very hard but I know it's probably developmental and to ride it out😊

We've been doing a walk before bath time which I think has helped burn off that last bit of evening energy!

How much sleep is he getting? The big burst of energy makes me think he might be overtired, sometimes when kids are overtired their body releases adrenaline to keep them going. Maybe try an earlier bedtime and see how you go?

Stepdaughter sent over without underwear

She’s 9 . We went shopping for her and she asked me to check the size of the shorts she had on, I noticed she wasn’t wearing any underwear. As a bio mom to my own little girl, this is concerning to me. Am I thinking too much into it?

I’ve purchased for her underwear and training bras (which she wasn’t wearing either) she said her mom didn’t wash laundry so she didn’t have any.

Owlet Sock

Does anyone here use the Owlet sock? I got it, but my little one got really annoyed when we first tried putting it on her, and now at 15 days old, I haven’t really re-attempted to put it on her.

How to get baby back to sleep?

She used to feed to sleep and I used to be able to just put the baby on my chest and she'd fall asleep. Now she will wake up from the bottle and will claw and fight as if she's doing tummy time. The tricky part is she must be upright after feeds because of her reflux so I can't really be moving her about. I can't keep doing this fight at 3am waiting for her to wear herself out to sleep. We've tried white noise rich she doesn't respond to. Swaddles stopped working after 2 months (she's 3 months now).

Any advice??

Baby sleep

My little girl is 9 months old now and has never been a good sleeper. She is now going through a phase of getting up at 4 am every morning and I try keeping things dark and boring but she is so awake for the day.
She goes to bed around 7pm. Has 2 naps a day. 1 nap - 1hr20 ish, 2 nap - 30 mins ish.
She is a childminders in the day so I can’t control her naps but I wish she would sleep in abit more but feel like I’m just banging my head against a brick wall. Any one else experience and was it ever resolved?

Pram/Stroller Recommendations

Hi!
We currently have a travel system but the seat part doesn't collapse with the chassis and it's becoming a pain to load into the car and store. Any recommendations on good collapsing prams/strollers? I'm looking for something that's good abroad too! It doesn't necessarily need to be another travel system, just anything really! X
