LO is 9wo and only naps during day if they're contact naps but even now I think she's getting frustrated with the lack of space to move. Anyway, I'm happy to have contact naps but some days it'd be nice to have a break. And nope,she won't use a carrier, I've tried 8 and traditional tie methods, bouncers, nest pods etc. My question is can anyone shed light at the end of the tunnel? Did you have similar experience and how old was baby when the contact naps stopped?

My LO would contact nap and then once she was fully asleep we transferred her into the moses basket.
She is now 29 months and occassionally contact naps.. depends on how she is feeling.

9 weeks is still quite young and they say it takes baby until 4-6 months to realise she’s not still one with you, so it’s all normal. I would enjoy the contact naps as much as possible right now, it really goes soo fast. My baby girl is now 4 months and still contact naps here and there, but can be put down at night, so I’d say 4-6 months will be the sweet spot. Just enjoy it as much as you can right now. Looking back, I wish I enjoyed it more her being so small and the snuggles x

7 months old for me! I had to sleep train in the end. I loved those contact naps, but I got nothing done

My LO contact napped for 9 months, but we never really tried to move him into his cot, he just one day rolled off me and slept on the sofa and it’s been cot naps ever since! I know it feels like you can’t get anything done because they’re always asleep on you, but it won’t last forever, time goes so quick when they’re this little.

4.5 months and contact napping. If I transfer him he'll be awake in 10 minutes. I'm embracing it, listening to podcasts and audiobooks and trying not to look at the mess around me lol

Have you had the fit of the carriers checked by a professional? It's pretty common for them to fuss a bit when getting into the carrier and cry but often once they're in if you get moving they settle down. I know she's still in contact with you but it gives you hands free to be able to do things if that's what you're wanting?

Has anyone else dealt with this? My 7-week-old struggles every night to pass gas, grunting and kicking for hours starting at 2:00 AM. It's making sleep impossible for both of us! Has anyone tried gripe water,or other remedies, and did you actually see results? Would love to hear what worked for you. We do have Infacol but cannot really see improvement.

So I’ve never breastfeed I don’t even know what it’s like.
My child was in formula since day one of birth…
A few of my relatives have said that women who breastfeed have a smell on them…
Is that like a milk smell that they have?

If you are going to be rude or insensitive to others, don’t comment on this post.
if you gave birth via caesarean, would it bother you if someone asked if you gave birth “naturally or by caesarean” (nothing to do with whether you were medicated).
When I gave birth I always answered “vaginally” to others and they seemed uncomfortable 🤣 there was nothing natural about that shit show lmao

Hi, not expecting a diagnosis obviously but maybe just some opinions and or advice. I have a nearly 4 month old. I’ve been to my doctor re my mental health and they have told me to do a self referral for some talk therapy but it looks like it could take a few months. I’m really struggling but I don’t know if it’s a normal amount as a new first time mum or something more. I feel very low a lot of the time, crying most days but not every day, feeling isolated (no mum friends), feeling like I’m not enjoying being a mum as much as I hoped, missing my old life and freedom, struggling with patience and the constant crying and fussing, feeling like it’s Groundhog Day, jealous of my husbands life, feeling like I’m not doing a good enough job, worrying I’m not doing things well enough and it will negatively affect her, only feeling better when I have people with me who know about kids and can step in and help eg in laws etc. I have tried hard to work on being positive, I get out for multiple walks every day, I’ve joined a sensory class, I’m on this app but I feel like none of it is really working or doing much. I feel like I’m ticking boxes of things that should help but I’m not making any mum friends and honestly a lot of the time it feels like I’m masking. Sometimes I get so upset and cry and I can’t really explain why….

Is it okay to let my 23 month old roam while I shower?
The house is baby proofed.

After lots of research, shop visits and trying different options, we’ve narrowed it down to the Joolz Aer², Silver Cross Nia and Bugaboo Butterfly.
We’re looking for one lightweight pushchair that is sturdy enough for everyday use, easy to carry as we live somewhere with no lift, and practical for travel too. We’d really prefer not to buy multiple pushchairs for different purposes, so ideally we want something that can work from newborn through to later toddler years.
We have tried all 3 and I feel in terms of sturdiness, Bugaboo would be the most sturdy, followed by Nia and then Joolz Aer2. Aesthetically and colour wise, I do prefer the Nia design.
Has anyone used any of these as their main everyday pushchair from birth? Would love to hear your experience and recommendations.
