When did sleep regression hit?

My baby is 4.5 months and his sleep hasn’t really changed for the last month or so. He has one long stint around 7/8pm to 10.30/11.30 and then 1.5/2 hour wakings until 5/6am when we start our day. This doesn’t sound like his cicadian rhythm coming in but he turns 5 months soon.

Has anyone else baby’s sleep pattern not changed or changed later?

He’s never “slept through” and I’m running in so much sleep debt that I have no idea how I’m going to cope with the 4 month regression. I breastfeed him to sleep and he hates bottles so my partner can’t help

I have to say we’ve never really noticed a sleep regression with this May baby or my eldest but that’s probably because they’ve never had long stretches so if they’re going through it, it’s the same 4-5 wake ups a night we always had. I think if you’ve had long stretches you notice it a lot!

I’m praying it doesn’t hit my one he falls asleep on me about 9ish and then he’ll let me put him down at 11 and then sleeps through till 6ish has a bottle and then goes back to bed till 9

How long did baby sleep in your room?

My little one is only just 4 months but is rolling and already pretty much grown out of his next to me crib in size! I am an anxious mum and a stickler for following safety guidelines so we are going to dismantle and rebuild his big cot in our bedroom. Obviously that's a big of a faff for just 2 months but the more I think about it the more I can't even think about him moving into his own bedroom anytime soon... It feels so wrong to me to just stick my infant in his own bedroom? 😂 But obviously I know it needs to happen at some point so I'm just curious to see when other parents did the transition whether earlier or later?

Stains

Moms, what actually works for getting stains out of your kids’ clothes? 😅 I’m dealing with grease marks and all the random toddler stains. What products do you swear by, and do you pretreat, soak, or just throw everything in the wash?

Naps at nursery

My little boy will be 10 months old when he starts nursery, he currently needs holding/cuddling to fall asleep then I can place him down in his cot to nap once’s he’s fell asleep. He won’t settle on his own it just results in him screaming crying. But I’m worried about when he starts nursery, will the staff there do the same at nap time or will he expected to self settle himself to sleep?

Why no trigger warning???

Why are people posting pics of blood abd mucus plugs without the sensitive content warning??? Not everyone has the stomach to see that, there's first time moms on here who don't need to see it like have some consideration for others??
