Depends on the child and parent. My oldest would nurse and go back to sleep. She only got out of bed once the sun woke up. My son is the opposite, there's a small window where I can nurse him back to sleep however if I don't make it or something interrupts it. Then we just have to wake up, start our day and re-adjust our nap schedule. It's all up to mums patience (which we all know can run thin at times) and whether your baby has decided they arent done sleeping or they are. Personally, I always try to nurse/feed and put back down if they wake up before like 7am, but if it doesn't work then go with the flow mama. Drink the extra cup of your choice of caffeine and try your best to make the day worth it
I'd be looking at the whole days sleep and making adjustments.
How old are they?
When do they wake, nap and go to bed?
Treat it as night time and shift day time sleep or look to reduce day time sleep to match

Would this bug you?
My partner does his own washing (great!) and I do mine and our toddler’s.
Sometimes I put toddler’s clothes straight in the washing machine if they are ditched, with a view that I’ll do a load later.
But this morning, my partner needed to do a load of washing and instead of washing our toddler’s clothes with his (toddler had a vest, jumper, and a top), my partner took our toddler’s clothes out, put them on the side, so he could wash his own clothes???
Why not just chuck our toddler’s clothes in with his?
This has happened twice now and he’s never washed our toddlers clothes

Being on phone whilst breastfeeding or holding baby
Husband wants me to stay off my phone when breastfeeding day or night. He says the phone is too close to the baby's head. Husband is annoyed that I said No. I'm up doing nights and baby's in my arms and I should stay off my phone. Ridiculous. He said i should read or listen to something instead.
😒
Thoughts? Anyone else doing this.
FYI i'm not on my phone all feeds. Just at 3 something in the morning when I have had minimal sleep yes I am on my phone trying to stay awake.

Fighting sleep
My little girl is 15 weeks and for the last 3ish weeks has been fighting every day time nap, and bedtime.
She doesn’t have strict wake windows and I just follow her sleepy cues, which are usually rubbing eyes, yawning, and staring into space. When she gets to this point I will give her her dummy to soothe into sleep, but she resists it to the point I have to rock her whilst she screams for 20 minutes before finally falling asleep.
She only wakes twice in the night around 1:30 for a feed and again at 6:30.
Is there a way to stop this or will she just naturally learn to fall asleep peacefully one day? 😂
