Baby who sleeps anywhere

Has anybody been successful in having a baby who sleep anywhere as they get older? Also should they have regular naps times? From what age?

You’re like going to get conflicting answers on if they should have ‘regular nap times’ .. for us, in our home.. structured nap times work best. My son (almost 2) has been on a 12-230 schedule since he was 11 months old. Somedays it’s more of a 1230-230 schedule but regardless nap time always falls in that window.
He will sleep pretty much anywhere but I find his quality of sleep is much much better if he is in his own crib at our house!

We make use of an app called Napper to help work out when to put our nearly 5month down for a nap.
He sleeps pretty much anywhere - sometimes it takes a little bit of work to get him to settle but since we've been following napper we've gone his sleep to be better. Still struggling with semi frequent night time wakings (wakes every 2 ISH hours until 1am and then will sleep for 3/4 hour stints but previously it was every 1 to 2 hours the whole night) but think that's the 4 month regression.

My almost 3 years old always had regular naps and sleep time. A bit flexible tho.
It helped a lot at having not so much tantrums and crisis. He also developed very well. Sleep is super important for a child to grow and a child who sleeps enough also has a more relaxed nervous system. It wasn't easy with my baby because I always had to fight for him to sleep. But I'm glad I did. Now he has a good sleep and is a happy little boy 🤗

Colostrum

Are people collecting colostrum even if they intend to breastfeed?

I know it doesn’t always work out as planned, but my plan would be to pump if for whatever reason I can’t breastfeed straight away, unsure whether to bother harvesting

Nappies

This is my opinion on nappies that I thought may be good to do for expecting Mums (uk version)

Mamia (Aldi) awesome cheap and rlly good
Pampers good have no complaints only purchase these if we’ve ran out of them when out and about just on expensive side
I’ve forgot make of the Lidl ones but the ones that begin with L I’ve honestly never ever had a good experience with these my baby’s nappy leaks every night when wearing them

Breast pads

I’m EBF and going through disposable breast pads like there’s no tomorrow. The reusable ones just leak right through as they’re fabric. I’m 5 weeks PP. how long until I can just wear my nursing bras without a pad as they get all bunched up each time I go to feed and I just want to stop having to buy so many!

Latching advice?

Hello Mamas! Baby girl #2 has made her arrival yesterday! She is healthy but sadly takes after her big sister when it comes to breast feeding!💔 I am going to continue to try as long as possible but subbing with formula & will be pumping what I can in hopes we’ll get just breast milk at least from pumping (and won’t need formula🤞🏻). What best worked for you when latching/getting babies interested & what best helped my strictly pumping moms milk supply?🥲🤞🏻

Baby hates the car seat

My 11 week old hates the car seat. She’ll cry if she’s put in it for the whole journey. She’ll spit the dummy out too. Even if she’s asleep when I transfer her, she’ll wake up and cry.

She needs a good few minutes when I take her out to calm down and stop crying.

Any tips, products, anything at all I can do to help? I’ve had to pull over a few times to calm her down as it was hard to drive with her screaming.

My 16 month old passed out

So I have a 4 year old and 16 month old, they always play together but like all siblings they fight and argue. Usually easily resolved. But today, they were arguing over who was going to sit on the chair. My 16 month old got so angry and upset she was screaming at her brother, to the point she couldn’t breathe and literally passed out and fell on the floor. I obviously quickly picked her up and dealt with it. But I have NEVER ever seen anything like it, me and my son were both terrified. Has this ever happened to anyone?
