See my little one can nap for like 2 hours but as soon as it hits bedtime, he wakes like every 30 mins 😩

I have given up worrying how long he naps in the day. As long as he has a large wake window before bed, he sleeps when he wants. Do you wait until baby is really tired? I used to try a schedule, but now I don’t force it and baby sleeps better! Their need for sleep changes so often anyway.

I can’t spend my life worrying about it when going out. I don’t go over 3 hours worth of naps however altogether, and time them.

Is your baby upset with it or content? Different babies need a different amount of sleep.

Reassurance

My 5mo rolled out of bed and fell onto the floor. I rang 111 immediately and they didn’t seem too concerned- they requested the out of hours go to ring back within 2 hours. We fell asleep so I missed the phone calls (2am). But the 111 speaker said it has been raised as a safeguarding issue and someone will be out to see me. So I’m a little nervous. Can anyone offer any experience or reassurance of this?
My baby was asleep when she fell and didn’t cry when she landed on the floor. She didn’t seem to have much change, a few red marks on her head that have since faded.
Should I take her to the GP in the morning just to be safe? I’m prob going to anyway. I just feeel like such a rubbish mum.

19 weeks old and won’t nap independently

My 19 week old will only nap on me and will only nap for 30 minutes on the dot independently in her crib. I’ve tried recreating the nighttime routine for naps and gentle methods, but nothing is working. Is anyone else going through this? Any advice or tips would be really appreciated!

Having a child but not learning about child development, behaviours and actions?

I think it’s very common for parents to research and learn about baby development but we seem to think once they can talk then we’re done and they should know better.

Unable to burp breastfed baby

I’ve just sat for 45 minutes doing different positions because my baby is full of wind and I can hear it. I’ve even desperately been on TikTok and followed all the instructions for different ways of winding babies and nothing works. This is also my second child and I never had this problem before.

I’ve even tried getting the wind out from the other end by doing gentle exercises and stretches with his legs. It’s just impossible. As soon as i lie him down after almost an hour he just throws up and/or sounds uncomfortable.

It’s really not what I need for hours every single night and by the time I’ve unsuccessfully tried to wind him after feeding and changing etc I’m only getting 30-40 minutes sleep.

Am I overthinking development?

My girl can sit independently, but only if i sit her up, she cannot sit herself up (i.e lying to sitting)

She is ‘army crawling’, she can wiggle herself to where she wants to go but she hasn’t figured out getting on all fours (hands and knees)

She cannot pull herself up on anything (i.e the sofa)

She is 9+ months, am I overthinking her development? What can I do to encourage/help her?
