How long did it take your LO to nap at nursery?

Hi, my 9-month-old just started nursery this week. He’s doing amazing with eating and playing, but staff was struggling to put him down for a nap in the cot. My LO ended up sleeping in their arms and it seems to be the only solution for him to nap for longer.

It’s only his 1st week, but the room leader is already making me feel a bit stressed about it. I think he just needs time to settle in, maybe a few weeks or is it too long 🥲? For those who have been through this, how long did it take for your babies to get used to nursery naps? Any tips to help him adjust? 🙏

Breast and formula

My baby is 9 weeks old and we are now forumula feeding however, we started off combi feeding. When she was born, I was on blood pressure medication which delayed my milk coming through so I was topping her up with a bottle. She was then then jaudice and had phtotherapy. She could only be off the lights for half an hour at a time, so bottle was more efficient for her. This was a really stressful time and I spoke to the midwives about just formula feeding as my milk hadn't come and I wasn't in the headspace at the time. They encouraged me to express so then my milk came. I started to express and BF however, the expressing at home was awful and wasn't helping my mental health. I was BF but she would want more after and became really fussy at the breast, she would tug and shake it but nothing would come. I would then top her up. She eventually weaned herself off the breast and took a bottle much better. I now find myself getting really sad when I see other people successfully BF their baby. I know everyone's journey is different and formula feeding has allowed my husband ti share the load a bit and for me to get out the house, but I can't help feeling down about it all.

Had sex with husband and hes easier to be around

I mean....we were not intimate for years because I wasnt feeling it but we started being intimate these past two months and boy I tell you. Like a changed man. Is this really how easy it is??

Baby sleep

I have posted recently about my baby who just doesn’t like to sleep and having an issue with 4am wake ups. People suggested putting to bed later however nothing is changing. I’m exhausted and don’t know what else to do. Why do I have a baby that just doesn’t sleep

When do boobs become sexy again?!

Breastfeeding or expressing mothers, I don't know about you but my boobs are leaky and lopsided, and pretty much always out, so it's hard to consider them to be sexy anymore, and I think probably the same from my partner. Any advice? Or anyone in the same boat?

Shoe size??

Am I the only one that has a hard time having shoes for my daughter. She has two pair of shoes that she wears but I wanted to find her a different pair of sandals and I can’t find any in her size. She wears a size 3 in infant shoes.

“Like seriously people I can’t help that my baby has small feet.”

Sleeping in day

My baby is 9 weeks old she sleeps great at night time ! 10 pm to around 5-6 am no wake ups which is great however in the day she just does not sleep she is wired ! She’ll be calm in the morning but once it hits about 1 pm she just cries pretty much till bed time when I took her to the drs they just said she’s healthy babies cry which I get , I thought maybe she’s sleeping to much at night time so I tried waking for feeds but she doesn’t wake ….
Sometimes she’ll go down for like 20 min nap but I can’t even get her to sleep on me which before she would any one have any tips for naps in the day ☹️🩷
