Does anyone else have a low sleep needs toddler?

I think my boys sleep needs are low, not extremely but he definitely can’t do 7-7 like some. I would say his overnight sleep is somewhat between 9-10 hours and I usually cap his nap at 1 1/2 hours in the day.

I’m just curious to see what other people’s toddlers are like please? What time do they wake, have a nap, and go to bed..

He also skipped his nap completely today, I tried and tired and tried and he just wasn’t ready for it and he went the whole day fine tbh, playing laughing.. he finally went to bed at 7:40pm in just hoping I’m not in for a bad night because he didn’t nap.

Also, are there any toddlers out there that don’t nap anymore? 19 months old is quite young to stop napping I think but I know some stop

Wake around 8:30. Go to sleep between 7-9:30 because she shares with her brother now. At that age it was around 7-8:30 ish. Nap was still difficult. She was going through a very long regressing so she barely napped and if I was able to get her down it wasn’t for very long. I’d try for a nap but don’t stress about it and just let them up if it doesn’t work after a bit

Both my kids! For the little one wake up is usually around 6am, nap around 12:30 - 2, then bed around 8pm. This is a typical nursery day but at home it varies. Some days if we're out he can have a 10 minute power nap in the car and that'll do him for the entire day, he'll power through then crash at 7pm. On those days he's still happy so I dont worry about it. Other days he might have a late nap and I just have to accept he'll go to bed late. Im definately alot more chilled about sleep than I was with my eldest!

What to do 😩

My daughter is a side sleeper. I put her down on her back every single time and she rolls onto her side and will fall asleep. She's never rolled over onto her tummy yet but I'm paranoid waiting for the day she can and I won't sleep again until she can fully hold her head up 😩😩😭😭 she's 2 weeks and 5 days old.

I've tried constantly moving her back onto her back, every single time she moves onto her side or fusses until I let her. Once she's on her side she'll drift off into a peaceful sleep. I'm forever constantly checking her to see if she'a breathing or rolled onto her tummy and gotten stuck.

The picture is of the position she will get herself into every time. With her hand under her head. I'm lost for ideas please help 😭😩

Genuinely confused🥴

My relationship with my MIL is really confusing. I got pregnant pretty quickly into my dating my husband, and she was excited through my pregnancy, but kept making comments to my husband about being in the delivery room.

When I gave birth, she drove 3 hours and tried to get in, but my mom and husband didn't let her in while I was in labour. Literally 8 hours after, she showed up in the hospital room to meet the baby. My baby was struggling with latching at that point, and she offered to "help" and grabbed my boob before I could say anything. I'd also ended up having an episiotomy and forceps delivery, so there was still literal blood and poop leaking out of me. She spent the rest of that visit filming a video holding and talking to my daughter.

I moved on cos I had a baby to focus on. My husband and I moved in with my parents temporarily as we'd just moved cities, but the whole time we lived there she would tell my husband that he's not a "man" because he's not providing (he is now and suddenly she's so proud🥴). She'd also make shady comments to me, and try to tell me about what I should and shouldn't do for my baby and this included things I strongly disagree with. She would compare her access to my baby, even though we lived with my parents and she lived hours away. My husband spoke to her even though he didn't understand the issue, and she stopped making comments to me.

The biggest issue for me is that she has always smoked during visits with my baby, and even once around my baby. I have made my husband tell her to stop three times, and each time, she'll stop for the next visit and then carry on smoking from the following visit. Even worse, my husband quit smoking since we had a baby, but on each visit, she still offers him a pack of cigarettes.

She has also been asking about when my daughter can sleep at her's since she was born, she's 12 months old now and I've never let her sleep over, but it's caused a lot of tension between me and my husband. I just don't think that she would respect other boundaries I might set.

Besides that, she's started being really nice, so I worry that im just overreacting or something. What do you think?

If you have any advice for me, I'd really appreciate it.

Wake windows

How long are your babies up for between naps? My bubs can probably do 1hr - 1hr 45 max but will only have 30-45 min solo nap or up to 3 hours contact. I’m trying not to focus on wake windows much but interested to know. My boy is 9 weeks now, 10 next Wednesday

Breastfeeding mamas query

Hey ladies. My baby is now 9 weeks and for the past 5 days my milk supply suddenly became so low. Like the baby feeds but it’s like he finishes the breasts and still seems hungry and I’m not as engorged as I was before. I started pumping to see if that helps and this has been even worse as there’s even less milk left for the baby. Is it normal for milk supply to dip for that long and is there anything I can do to help bring it back up? I’m stressing so much.
