Bed time

I appreciate everyone seems to have the opposite problem…but I cannot get my baby’s bedtime any later. He goes down for the night around 615-630. Which in theory sounds great, but we have to hold him for ages until we can transfer him to the Moses. And also means his first and only long stretch of sleep ends at 930-1030 😩 just as I’m going to bed usually. I just cannot get him to stay up any later!
I’ve tried waking him after 30 mins to treat it like a nap but he’s so grumpy and won’t have any of it, he just wants to be asleep. I’ve tried moving his morning wake time and naps along later. I’ve tried getting his last nap to last to at least 5, but it’s not happening.
I’m hoping that shifting his bedtime later will mean he’s less wakeful in the later part of the night.
Anyone any ideas?

Talking

We have a 17 month old. At his clinic they said by 18 months he should have at least 20 words. He doesn’t. Everything is either daddy or he points and moans to what he wants. Should I be worried?

How many words is it normal for a 15 month old to say?

A family member made a negative comment about the number of worlds my baby can say at this age.

Does losing weight mean losing my milk supply slowly?

I’ve been going Gym for the last 4 to 5 weeks and I’ve noticed the change of my milk supply. I’m drinking plenty of water and I’m eating foods but less I’m taking the food I’m eating because I’ve changed my diet. Yeah she’s still drinking which is good, but I feel like I’ve been giving her more formula than breastmilk, which I don’t want.

12h under 12 weeks & breastfeeding

Hey! My baby is 6 weeks and breastfeeding. She eats every 2h during the day and 3h at night (I feed her whenever she asks so we don’t really have a schedule). Naturally we’re not sleeping much due to her feeding schedule and her really bad reflux so we were recommended to try the 12hours under 12 weeks book/technique. Has anyone done this and do you think its compatible with a breastfed baby?
