Dropping naps

Anyone else’s dropped naps completely? We are day 4 of no naps and now I’m just wondering if my nap era has gone. Her sister did the same around this age. However, even though she isn’t napping, she is also going bed later. I’ve put her down to bed at the same time since day one, but now she is going bed an hour plus later, even with no naps. She isn’t crying or anything like that, she’s very happy and content. I just would have thought having no naps would make her want to go bed earlier not later? Her sister was awful when she dropped her only nap but not getting the same reaction this time

Hi, I feel like it’s too early for no naps? My 3yo is currently transitioning from 1 nap to no naps. Also going bed later can be a sign of over tiredness. I do think a nap is needed. If you’re finding wake windows are too long then maybe let her have a shorter nap?
Every child is different, so maybe it’s ok but my opinion is that it’s too early for no naps xxx

Without providing any context I know it's hard, but my husband and I are in a bad place. I want to repair things. Please just check this and see if it's fair/makes sense/is clear about my intention?

Sleeping through night?

Just out of curiosity when did your LOs start sleeping through the night?
I know sleep regressions exist and each baby is different but wondering if there is some kind of average.
Our LO is 6 weeks and goes between 3-5h at night, aware there is still a way to go!

When did you start to put them in their cot in their own bedroom for daytime naps?

Biting toddler

Please help! My 1.5 year old hasn’t stopped biting at daycare. If she bites 3 more times they are kicking her out. Please any suggestions help. I’m at a loss and I don’t want her to lose her routine. Her 3.5 year old sister goes to the same daycare and is thriving.

Is this common practice?

I know wet nurses used to be a regular thing, but breastfeeding other family members children? Maybe not common practice but what do we think?

I'm just sat here crying and need to vent

I have a cold, everyone in the house has had it. Our 3 year old caught it from nursery, quickly passed it on to our 5 month old and my husband. Somehow I managed to avoid it, I looked after everyone, 3yo was off nursery, sleepless nights with baby as she couldn't breathe in her bassinet so spent hours sleeping up on my chest through the night, so I had to be awake to let her sleep.
Now everyone is better and it has hit me like a ton of bricks. My eyes and nose won't stop running, my throat feels like I've swallowed shards of glass, and I'm still the one who got up at 6am with the kids, got both of them ready, took my son to nursery, ran errands, and then tonight I'm thinking finally when my 3yo goes to bed, I can go to bed too and my husband can watch the baby. Nope, he takes 3yo up to bed at 6. Usually he's asleep by 6.30. 7pm goes by and I'm thinking what is taking so long.. 7.15, 7.30pm... I finally go upstairs to check and my husband has fallen asleep in the bed with our son, and I can't risk waking our son. I tried getting my husband to wake but he was zonked out. So now I'm just sat here, I feel so utterly drained and in pain and all I want is to sleep and I'm just upset and mad that I'm always the one putting everyone first and making sure everyone has what they need and looking after everyone else and now I'm just sat here, baby crying, I'm crying, I just want a break for one evening.
Yes I should've taken 3yo to bed and then maybe it would've worked out better but my husband never falls asleep, I dunno why he did tonight because he's feeling better and slept in this morning.
