Short naps

When does this get better? Currently only takes between 30-45 minutes, I do assist back to sleep for atleast one of the naps otherwise our days will be super short, I try to go by wake windows but more pay attention to tired ques, will it just click and she’ll eventually link her sleep cycles? Like should I stop assisting her back to sleep and just see if she can work it out herself? Or do I continue on and it’ll click to her anyway? I’m wondering whether she can’t do it herself because she can’t learn because I’m assisting her. 5 and a half months for context on 3 naps a day

Nursing bra help!

Does anyone know of any nursing bras available in the UK that have this option where you can open at the front, but it still leaves some material across the top part of your boobs so you are covered whilst feeding?

I bought one in my last pregnancy from Australia, but they have stopped doing it 😭

I have found the below, but it’s just a tank top so you can’t adjust the size at the back. And with how varied my boob size is during pregnancy, freshly postpartum, and as I went through breastfeeding, I really need an adjustable back!

I know some people say just have the confidence to feed, but I’m really after something that leaves me a bit covered as it gave me so much more confidence

Autistic in babies

I know I shouldn’t worry but my daughter that’s 8 months plays but she’ll wack stuff she’s holding on floor repeatedly is this normal?? How did you know your child was autistic???
She has eye contact she’s just started to babble little bit here and there she crawls and sits up she smiles when you smile very hard to make laugh although she does laugh! She’s a tough crowd 😂
She’ll bash toys with her hands she has facial expressions
She doesn’t respond to her name that well right now

A question for 2nd time mummies and beyond

My social circle is all 1st time mummies with children ranging up to two and we all put a lot of focus on naps. I feel very restricted because of to the expectations I’ve now built up. I was more chill on the nap front a couple of months ago but since she dropped to two naps I’m all “nap this. Nap that” and tbh it’s not my personality at all so missing a bit of myself. I want to do what’s good for her though.

Anyway, how do you do it? It can’t be simple? School runs or clashing naps or bedtime with a toddler. Or have you just let go and say “hey, they’re happy and clearly gets their sleep somewhere”

What would you say to me? - go with it and get out and enjoy life nap worry free? or would you say be grateful for the opportunity to focus on just her and get her naps in? Or a mix of the lot? Do your expectations of yourself and reality add up?

Pls help 🥹

Morning mamas! I’ve found this beautiful dress for an event that I really want to wear. However, I’m breastfeeding, and although the dress looks lovely without a bra, I’d really like to wear one for a bit more support. Does anyone have any suggestions for what type of bra I could wear with it? I’ll have my hair down, so that should cover the back anyway.

Constipated 11 week old

My 11 week old is only pooping once a day and I can tell she is uncomfortable. Any advice on how to help her? I’ve been doing tummy rubs, leg kicks, and making sure she’s burped. She hasn’t pooped since yesterday evening!

Wet nappies overnight

Hi all, I’m in a lucky position where my LO sleeps through the night 7-4 but his morning nappy after this stint will sometimes be completely dry or not very wet at all. He does plenty of wees through the day and his first nappy in the morning fills up really fast but I just wondered if this is something I should be concerned about?
