Moving to 1 nap

How many naps is your toddler on? If you’ve moved to 1 nap, did their night sleep improve at all? My little boy’s night sleep is absolutely horrendous with him being awake and restless for hours in the night, so we’re trying 1 nap today to see if it helps 🥲

We’ve got the same issue currently at night, she used to wake once for a feed and go back down fine and that was it, now she’s up multiple times but I know she can’t do one nap although she’s tricked us a few times into thinking she’s ready, she’s really not. I’ve read that around 1 they can go through this night patch so I’m just hoping it’s that, really really really hoping it’s just a phase! 😖

How much is he napping in the day? Awake in the night for long periods of time is called a split night and we had them for months and it’s because he was sleeping too much in the day!

My girl has 2 naps one at around 9 for an hour then another at 2 for an hour. I dont let her have any longer as if she does shes horrendous at night

I’ve tried only giving as little as 1.5 hours over 2 naps and up to 2.5 hours over 2 naps and it doesn’t seem to make a bit of difference either way 🥲

My son he is 22 months he is one nap a day sometimes none takes him ages to settle and sleep now

Bedtime nappies

Our little boy has started sleeping through the night but as a result his nappy is rather full on the morning and leaking. We currently use pampers and they have been perfect up until now anyone got any recommendations of nappies to try!

Not doing enough?!

Does anyone else feel like they are not doing enough with their baby? Mine is 5 weeks old today and as an example I’ve just got him in his cot with no visual stimulation as I’m trying to get him to nap but it’s been like 30 mins and he’s still awake and I’m thinking - is he bored?! But I just want a lil nap for him so I can get a couple bits done! I find the days go by in such a blur and by the end I feel guilty that I didn’t give him enough “play time” with like black and white sensory things or visual stimulation. I’m worried I’m setting him up for failure at only 5 weeks old looool. Please tell me I’m not the only one!

Baby slept all night 🌙🥳

Baby is 11 weeks tomorrow, and he slept through the whole night for the first time last night (in his own bed!) 💙

His dad and I were cheering and celebrating this morning!

Let's hope this is just the beginning of sleeping like this and not just a one-off 🤞

Is it normal?

My kid gives us push back almost every night about taking a shower. He will tell us no, or I don’t wanna, and will whine and sometimes angrily say no and stomp his feet. We have to pretty much be stern and use our mean voices before he goes sometimes. Is this normal, or a behavior issue??

Eye tracking and looking at hands

Hiya, my little one is 4 weeks old and isn’t yet tracking with his eyes or looking at his hands. He has just started to look at our faces but only for a few seconds then just looks around the room or past us. Anyone else’s buba like this?

Not believing in sleep regressions

I had an interesting conversation with a mum a few days ago and she doesn’t believe in sleep regressions. She has 4 children. Her point was a high majority of babies are just bad sleepers, so is it really possible to regress?
She believes they go through phases of development and learning, yes, but doesn’t think ‘regressing’ is a thing in babies.

Do you think she’s making sense? I’d love to hear people’s thoughts.
