Continuous split wakes

Hiya! so my little man is 13 months old and is in the messy transition between 2-1 naps. He began having split wakes the beginning of last week, I thought maybe it’s because of his second nap and not having enough sleep pressure for bedtime so we scrapped the second nap and stretched the second wake window to around 5 and a half 6 hours. His first wake window is around 4/4 and a half hours, he’s an early riser always has been. We are still every night from last week having early hours split wakes that last at least 2 hours. Has anyone else had this? If so what did you do to rectify it? I’ll also add he had his 12 month vaccinations just over a week ago Iv been keeping an eye on his temp but nothing. Any advice would be appreciated 🩷

Bulky travel systems? Buy or skip?

We went to explore pushchairs at mamas and papas and they really seem to encourage you to buy the ocarro package which is 12kg + and bulky once folded. Are these realistic to use post 6 months or is it better to go with something like Joolz/Nuna which are most compact but less sturdy I guess.

Am I being paranoid ?

I need a bit of advice. I don’t know if maybe I’m being a bit too protective or sensitive or maybe easily annoyed.. anyway I feel like all of weight of having the baby falls on me. My partner has 2 older kids but I still have to remind him to give our 5 month old a nap and to change her nappy as most of the time he won’t do it or says he forgets. Anyway the part that got me tonight was I had asked him if he could please see to the baby the next time she wakes and is unsettled ( i do 100% of the time so shouldn’t be an issue) so he gets up with a moan and she starts screaming uncontrollably and she never is like this. So I’m lying worried like is she ok? He tells her to shut up and that he’s gonna be annoyed if he wakes up his other daughter who happens to be staying the night, and then says she needs to not be so loud. So I tell him to take her into another room to try settle her he refuses and says she just needs to go to sleep. At this point she’s going mad so as always it falls on me. I’m already shattered from the every other night wakings so I say give her to me I’ll try. She settles straight away. Am I being too sensitive or am I right to be upset with how he was with her ? She’s a baby, she can’t control being upset 🤯🥺

Dummy cold turkey

So my little girl hits 4 months tomorrow and for some reason I've decided now is the time I'm cutting the dummy habbit cold turkey.

We've got through today with lots of crying on her part and patience on mine but I'm questioning everything!

Nap 1-I tried to bounce/rock/tap for 20 mins then we reset with 5 mins outside before dad had a go then aborted mission and went for a drive. (50 min nap)

Nap 2- More successful Bouncing and tapping then blasting pink noise and blowing on her face whilst laid on my bed. (2 hour nap with a breast feeding rescue after 45 mins)

Nap 3- Went for an almost 2 hour walk with the pram for her to sleep all of 30 mins

Nap 4- tried the car again for her to scream you the point of choking then breast fed to sleep at home (30 min nap)

Then after trying all the usual tricks ive resorted to breastfeeding to sleep tonight for mine and her sanity.

Am I creating another issue with feeding to sleep or is it completely natural for this age and breast fed babies to be fed to sleep and is it something that can be broken as she used to sleep 8 hours before Waking for a feed but she wants her dummy replacing too often in thr night now and I dont want feeding to be the only thing to settle here back down if she wakes more in the night without her dummy.

How much are milk are your 9/10 months having ?

Hi we recently had a health visitor come for a checkup she told me my nearly 10 month old was drinking too much milk I’m just wondering how much other babies are drinking in between the 9/10 month mark as I feel awful just not giving it when he’s crying for it even after meals …

Can you tell time on a watch?

I know this sounds silly but I recently watched a tiktok of an influencer saying she wears a watch for fashion because she doesn't actually know how to tell the time and instead uses her phone to tell time.

Can you tell time on a watch?

Concerned about 6week old weight gain

My baby is just over 6 weeks and has had the 6 week check today.

When asked by the gp I said no concerns around feeding as she is breastfed and seems to be consistent, only some pain due to latching. Then she is also being given 200ml formula top up per day at most, as she struggled to gain weight post birth and trying to slowly wean off this.

But since her weight checks last week and at the end of her appointment today I am worried she is not gaining enough daily. The GP said no concerns as long as she follows the percentile line she is currently on. Am I being crazy for worrying that she isn’t gaining enough weight as it’s working out to be around 5g per day?

I am also just worried I’m not producing enough milk for her and keep having an internal battle thinking if I should end breastfeeding completely
