Help!

Guys I’m 6 months pregnant and my son literally just turned two and has decided he’s done with naps. We went from waking up around 8am and having maybe 40 minutes after lunch to now waking up at 6:30am and ZERO napping during the day and he still is hard to put down at 8:30pm and is up running around the house. How the hell am I going to manage if I can’t even get those 40 minutes to myself 😭

They do a fake out that they are ready to drop naps at around 2. I'd keep offering it.

If waking at 6.30 and not napping I'd say bedtime needs to be tried at like 6.30. Would be overtired by 8.30.

I try putting him down at his normal time around 12, again around 3 and then again between 5 and 6

I’m 37 weeks pregnant, my 2 yo hasn’t had naps since 1 year old, she goes down at 9pm and wakes up again between 5 or 6am then goes back down sleeps from half 7 to half 8 and that’s her the rest of the day..

Moving baby to their own room

Hi all, did anyone move their baby into their own room early? My little boy is 5 months but is getting too long for his next2me and keeps knocking himself against the sides and waking himself up in the night. I am thinking of moving him into his cot in his room but unsure?

6 hour stretch at 6 weeks

I know I should probably just be happy about such a large stretch of sleep overnight but is this normal; my first didn’t sleep that much until he was probably closer to 2 years old!! May baby is breastfed and I cannot remember what the norm is

5 year old CONSTANTLY swearing😭

It's gotten to a point where my 5 year old is constantly swearing, muttering "f*ck" to himself over and over, or saying "what the f*ck" as he's playing with his toys. I've done some research and it says that they're testing boundaries and a big reaction will encourage them to do it more. I'm trying my best not to react, however I have taken his Switch and iPad off him as he needs to learn it's not okay to say. Just looking for some advice really on what approaches I can try or some tricks maybe? I'm grateful for anything at this rate. 🥲

Do moms ever blame their selves?

As a first time mom who just recently found out my child has infantile spasms(west syndrome) epilepsy… i can’t stop guilt shaming myself idk thinking if I could’ve done something different during pregnancy I just hate that she deals with that & because of it she has developmental delays & I can’t stop thinking where did I go wrong i’m getting her all the help that she needs, but I still feel terrible sometimes

Sleep schedule - how can we improve?

Hi mums, my LO is 7 weeks old. We’re finding night time wakes exhausting. This is our first so we don’t know what’s considered “good” in terms of nighttime sleep.

Between 10pm to 6am we have around three nighttime wakes where he’s up for around 30 mins to an hour. His longest sleep stretch is from when he goes down which is 3 hrs, and then he’s waking every 2.5 hours after that. Any advice on how we can lengthen the 2.5 hours? I’m hoping to get him to the 4/5 hour mark. He’s been in this pattern for the last three weeks and it’s not improving.

Has anyone’s newborn sounded like this?

He’s 3 weeks old, born via c section. He was laying in his basinet in the early morning making these sounds. It seemed he was also trying to push for gas/poop at the same time
