Nursery sleep

Let me start by saying, overall really happy with our sons nursery and I provide very rough guidelines for his sleep (I’m aware at nursery, everything goes out of the window) but they don’t seem to listen even when I give instructions in the morning, and were really suffering from a mucked up day, early wakes, ratty evenings. They’ll sometimes put him down 20 mins before he’s picked up (some days he does half days so they know he’s collected at 1) then wake him up fully so he doesn’t go back down with us. Today, they’re closing early (informed us gone 6pm last night) and I asked to try a short nap this morning so we have a chance of him getting another this afternoon, he’s been asleep for over an hour and a half, so he’s not likely to go back down and will have been awake since 11am, despite me sending a message saying to wake him.

Does anyone else call/message during the day to give instructions re sleep? I don’t want to be that nightmare parent but it’s all so frustrating.

No sleep

What is the best way of managing lo’s at night in the heat? Before bedtime we got our babies room as cool as we possibly could and ran a fan on the hallway most of the night. Doors open trying to let air flow through and he just slept in a nappy. Despite this his room stayed at 31/30 degrees till nearly midnight. He is a good sleeper usually however last night for the first time he was waking unsettled every hour😭 we just can’t get our house cool at all and it probably doesn’t help that we’ve only just moved and the only room with curtains is his room. Today is going to be even hotter which means another uncomfortable night and I’m already dreading what we could be in for with our very hot and bothered baby😫

Would you rather…

Have a 1.2 year old sleep 12 hour stretches every night BUT they wake up halfway through for milk

Or

Have them sleep the first half but cry and have restless sleep the second half waking every hour til morning

Cause I’m told they don’t need nighttime feeds. But he sure wants it haha and possibly needs it? He just sleeps so good when I do give him milk. But it is both sides nursing and I’m supposed to be weaning 🫠

Has anyone else had the same issue ?
My nearly 4 week old pretty much chokes/coughs and splutters when on the boob and because of that she’s taking in loads of air which makes her gassy and uncomfortable no matter how long I burp her for, I have a fast flow so I’ve tried pumping before but because I’m only 4 weeks I’m scared of causing myself a over supply as I already wake up super engorged and leaking EVERYWHERE , she’s also been throwing up a lot like after every feed then she wants to go on again and won’t settle because she’s thrown up

Montessori bed or cot?

Hi,
I am moving in a few months and need to plan my babies room. He would be 7 and a half months and I wonder if we should get him a cot or a Montessori floor bed? I like the idea of him crawling in and out as he pleases but not sure if you girls have had any experience with them?
Thank you

Explosive diarrhea and vomiting

My 3 month old girl has had watery explosive yellow diarrhea for 24 hours now and vomiting up a lot of her feeds. She is still normal and smiling and awake but worried about diarrhea since she’s so young. Has anyone experienced this and what did you do? It’s heatwave too so could be making it worse.
