Split night. Might be getting too much daytime sleep (if still having naps). You can decide to reduce nap by 10-15 mins and further if needed and tolerates it well in the day.
If he/she has dropped all naps then maybe increase daytime activities to get more tired and build more sleep pressure during the day
Hope maybe one of these will help. Could also be just developmental/ just a phase
Second the comment above.
Sleep needs have changed, I’d cut the nap and/ or make bedtime later xx
He only had one nap a day has been like that for a while now and it’s between 1-1.5 hours it’s strange coz he only does it with me he father works an oddish shift pattern but when his dad has him he will wake up climb in the big bed and go back to sleep

I can’t do this!
I’m so confused. I keep seeing people who have no issues sleeping with their babies or near their babies. I can’t! It’s been like 3, 4 weeks? IDk. Today it feels like I just hit a wall. I’ve tried the swaddling, and she still stirs and makes noises that wakes me up. I’ve tried the bed sharing. She still moves and fusses and squirms. I’m so tired. I dread nighttime because I know there’s no way I’m going to actually sleep. During the day I can hand baby to hubby and get some chunks of sleep, but at night, every little sound just wakes me up. I don’t know what to do.

My husband hates me.
I don’t want to even get into it, but the only time he’s ever been nice to me is when i’ve been pregnant, and I pour everything I have into my kids. I know we all have our cross to bear in life, but my crime is that I wasn’t complicit to his pill problem, and it caused a lot of issues with CPS, which I unintentionally got involved when I reached out for help. His mom hates me. CPS thinks his mom is a toxic enabler. They deemed me the only competent care giver. Now they’ve closed the case, and I don’t have them to protect me anymore, and even if i leave, i still have to deal with these people for the rest of my life. honestly I really just wish him happiness and hope he finds somebody he actually loves and respects and respectfully lets me move on with my life. I just want to start my own business which i’m currently working on, and i want to take care of my parents and keep them out of the nursing home for as long as possible. I just want my parents. i want my mom. My dad who is my biggest support is dying. It kills me to know i won’t have my kids all the time. My husband just tells me how I’m not a good wife. I don’t understand why he’s even still with me.

Death of the pastors wife
do we think he physically killed her? or was it suicide?
I currently believe it was suicide, but he may aswell have been holding that gun. either way, he killed her. he is responsible for her death.
I don’t wish anything bad on anyone but boy do I hope karma SLAPS him in the face. I have never felt so much anger and disgust towards someone in my life.

Colostrum
When harvesting Colostrum ive been told not to use a hand held manual pump like a medula (i think thats how its spelt) at all before like 6 weeks PP including after baby using any pump until at least 6 weeks but ive seen alot of women use the hand held manual ones, im very confused at the advice from midwifes and other people! I know seeing USA advice is different as im in the UK so advice is rather different but it just confuses me!!

"have you even tried to get them to speak?" Maybe you can tell me what I'm missing.
•spoke to them and read to them as babies.
• took them to the doctor when language didn't start developing (1 year old)
• referred to early intervention clinic at 16m
• it was the pandemic so virtual visit with SLP and parenting classes to teach speech.
• "people games" and repeating words (they need to hear it 50 times minimum to know it)
• wait list for diagnosis
• wait list for specialized services
• hearing test and checks for tongue ties
• diagnosis
• specialized school for pre school and kinder with an SLP
• got a developmental pediatrician
• no screen time
• single language use
• language modeling/modeling with aac
• labelling everything
• summer camp with SLP/ another summer camp with kids who talk
•exposure to family and kids who can speak
• introduction of basic sign language still with speech
• twice a week home visits from experts for 2 going on 3 years.
• genetic testing
• built team of experts in speech, childhood development, etc to help.
• rewarding the use of any language.
• repeating the sounds they make.
• learning how they communicate to meet their needs.
I think thats it. Maybe there is something you know that I don't. My parents only ever spoke around me and I spoke early.

Night feed
Where is everyone doing their night feeds? I breast feed and then I have to pump because my son has tongue tie and that's what I was advised to do. My son is really good at sleeping at night, he'll eat and then go back to sleep, or have his nappy changed and then go back to sleep. Both with no intervention. Because of this I feed him and pump him in bed next to my husband.
Where does everyone else feed their little ones?
