How long are your little ones sleeping for at night?

My twins are coming up to 5 months old and for the past couple of nights they have been sleeping 12 hours straight through - they still nap in the day, and they’re gaining weight but i’m worried that 12 hours straight through is too long.

Am I just overthinking it? Is this normal? Is there such thing as too much sleep?

Diaper change at night

How’s everyone fitting in diaper changes with nighttime feeds? At first I would change him and then he’d eat, but then I switched to feeding him on one breast changing him and then feeding him on the other breast. He gets hiccups occasionally, so I worry that laying him down in between breast isn’t the best option & wondering if I should go back to changing him before he eats??

Am I overreacting with my two year old?

Problems I’m experiencing with my two year old. (He will be 3 in August)

- Doesn’t listen unless I threaten to spank him or yell or scream

- Super hyperactive but will focus on something completely weird and dumb for 40 minutes straight. Like for an example, we went to a firework show and he wouldn’t sit still the entire time we were waiting for the fireworks to start but then he randomly started playing with the seatbelt in his stroller for 20-30 minutes straight and wouldn’t budge even when we called his name or tried to get his attention.

- He’s scared of water being on his face and head. I mean extremely scared like he will scream bloody murder and fight horribly.

- He refuses to use the potty consistently. He has days where he’s interested and sometimes will be okay with peeing in the potty but then he’ll go weeks and months not wanting anything to do with it no matter how much we try to encourage him.

- Whenever he gets mad or upset or whatever, he’ll cover his ears with his hands.

Should I get him checked for autism or adhd? His father has extreme adhd.

Self soothe

Anyone’s 4 month old self soothe? Feeling a lot of pressure online regarding self soothing but my LO is still rocked to sleep. Please tell me I’m not alone? I’ve tried self soothing but he’s currently going through the regression and teething and it’s a battle I don’t need right now!

I'm already noticed with my 3month old that the shorts in the girls section are much shorter than the boys.

Is that not weird? Not diaper covers. Actual shorts.

Help!

We have a co sleeping, breastfeeding and heavily reliant on it (😬🙃) 11 month old, but I’m pregnant again!
Any advice from other co sleeping families on how to tackle a newborn and a toddler during the night? Not sure what to do!
Currently in a kingsize floor bed with a cot mattress at the side, and there’s me, baby and husband.

Is it time for toddler to go into her own room, and how do you do that if they rely on 3+ feeds a night
Could toddler go on husbands side?
Will newborn wake toddler?
Not sure what’s best for us
