Naps and daycare

Hey ladies, need to hear some positive stories about mums that have struggled with naps / only contact or movement naps and then had to go to day care. Everyone says daycare workers are miracle workers and just get it done but I’m still so worried. Bub will be 5.5 months old and she’s a hardcore contact napper, terrible at transfers except night.

While my kid was older (12.5m), he slept. I don’t know how they did it haha. He’s been going for a year now and I still hold/rock to sleep at home. They truly are miracle workers. Imagine trying to get 10-15 kids down at once haha.

I worked with infants and toddlers . Infants wise i had a few kiddos like this but eventually they would fall back to sleep in the crib and sometimes the wouldn’t sleep much at all . If it’s a newbie obviously it will take the little one time to get used to the new routine which is fine. You are able to send a swaddle if it’s needed to help the little ones out. Some put themselves to sleep just because that how they have always been some need help swing or bouncer optional if all hands are full but eventually always moved to crib

From breast to bottle

Hello, has anyone had issues trying to get their breast fed baby to take a bottle? I went back to work and my 10wk old has been refusing the bottle for my partner. Any suggestions?

Poop Question

Sorry if this is tmi, but out of nowhere around 5 weeks my baby’s poop suddenly has mucus-y strings throughout and it isn’t getting better or worse just still there a week later. We’re going to the pediatrician tomorrow to have her take a look but I don’t think dairy is the culprit because I am mostly dairy free and he doesn’t have any other symptoms of a dairy allergy. I’m wondering if anyone has noticed that their letdown caused this? I have a really strong really fast letdown and I’m an oversupplier and think that could be what’s causing the issue?

From cosleeping to cot 13month old

Send help. I’m trying to get my EBF 13 month old to sleep in his cot, at least the first half of the night to start with.

If I transfer him and he doesn’t wake up it’s usually ok. But if he wakes up, he screams - like there’s no tomorrow! It’s so overwhelming. I end up just putting him back in the big bed with me if it’s too much.

Anyone in a similar position with any advice??

Who’s co sleeping?

My little boy doesn’t settle at all in his cot. Just cries for me, he’s 8 months

Opinions

Does anyone else feel less attracted or wanting to have less sex because of how useless they are as a partner/person/dad. Like the longer we’re together the more things piss me off about him and his actions.

Since vaccines are a topic today. You do realize u wouldn’t know if your child is in a class with unvaccinated kids right?!

These post are so funny to me because how we feel about vaccines and our kids being around unvaccinated vs vaccinated kids, doesn’t matter because schools aren’t going to disclose medical records for parents to even know what’s going on. We all want to protect our kids but if they are in school there’s no knowing who they are around…
