What the sleep ?

I see posts where everyone is worried for waking every 2-3 hours ,i wish that was my case .Baby is 15 weeks and from about two weeks ago her naps are anywhere from 10 -30 min max.

Is hard to get her to nap ,she will fight ,arch and push her legs and cry .At bed time i have to hold her for hours as the minute her bum touches the mattress she is up ,up !!!will only sleep on my or my husband chest and if i want some hands free for a minute i need to put her on her tummy .If i am to put her on her back she is awake in seconds and will start crying .I don’t understand what have changed as she use to sleep well at night in the next to me crib ,on her back from 9pm-1am and from2am -5 am and then sleep till like 7:30-8 am .Im paranoid letting her to sleep on her tummy even though she has a great neck control ,i end up just staying awake scrolling the phone to keep en eye on her so between me and my husband we taking turns but still is incredibly difficult as we have a 3 year old to entertain during the day and we run on such a little sleep .please tell me im not alone and there is light at the end of the tunnel .I simply don’t understand this drastical change and her strong preference for tummy sleeping .

Activities for wake windows.

Hey mamas xx my baby is nearly 1 month old and I wonder other than the normal stimulation of the first weeks (singing, talking to her, tummy time) what other sensory activities can I start doing during her wake windows that are getting longer? x 😘

How do I explain this to my 3 year old right?

Our neighbour has a child with additional needs, she spends most of the day in the garden, especially on days with nice weather like we've been having recently. (They have their garden done up great for her with lots of activities and waterplay etc, she's always being supervised too. Just before anyone is concerned!)

My 3 year old son and I were out in our own garden today playing football and we could hear the neighbour girl playing in her garden. My son asked me "why is the girl making that noise?" And kept saying "mummy what is that noise?" (I don't know the proper terms but I guess it's like stimming noises maybe?)

I didn't really know what to say, I just explained the girl is happy and playing in her garden like we are. He accepted that and moved on, but is that the right thing to do? Should I have explained more/differently?

0.2 tog sleeping bag and nappy in 28 degrees Celsius

He's 18 months old.

I've everything I can to cool the room down but it's been 35 degrees outside today and the heat hasn't let up for weeks. I ran the AC in his room for 6 hours today (removed before bed as I don't think it's ideal to run in his room overnight - it's really noisy and dries the air out) and managed to get it down to 24 degrees. Also kept all electronics off, blackout blinds and curtains closed, and even tried the tin foil on the outside of the window trick, the whole nine. Obviously, as the building is so hot, the temperature in his room shot up in the hours since I removed the AC, although I kept the door and window shut.

LO has a really strong sleep association with his sleeping bag and doesn't sleep so well without it so I bought a 0.2 tog sleeping bag as I didn't think the 0.5 tog was cool enough for this weather. I have a fan running in his room, gave him a cool (not cold though) bath and got him to drink plenty of water and milk before bed.

I can't help but worry with all these warnings about little ones overheating. He's sound asleep. Google is telling me I have to take the sleeping bag off.

Double buggy recommendations

My second is due in Feb 2027 and by then my daughter will be a couple of months away from her 3rd birthday. We still very much need a buggy for her if we’re going on longer walks so I’m thinking I’ll need to invest in a double buggy just looking for any recommendations x

How does your baby go to sleep at night?

Comment if other. My boy used to go down all by himself, I thought we were blessed, but we seem to have gone backwards and now it’s taking an hour to get him to sleep through cuddles 🥲
