Same! We put her in a carrier if we want her to have a longer nap.

Yesterday my boy didnt nap from 1 lunch time. Nothing I did would get him to sleep so I gave up....best night sleep he had in a week. I was worried but it was ok in the end. Today only 4 x 30 minute nap, again he didnt nap from 2pm to 6pm, so was worrying again, but he had a 30min nap at 6pm.

Thanks all, that sounds about right then. I guess we are doing the best we can

If a contact nap he could go 2 hours minimum. If I put him down it is 20 - 30 minutes

We have a 3 month pld and also doing like 30 mins to 45 mins only really goes down once in his bassinet otherwise contact naps, pram or car. I think that is just his pattern he sleeps well overnight and seems happy and refreshed during the day despite short naps so we are rolling with it!

Baby doll

Anyone get their son a baby doll? Did they love it?
Thinking of getting mine one for christmas as he's gravitated towards one a couple of times at a toddler group. For context my son will be 18 months, nearly 19 months at Christmas.

Refusing nap at age2 help!

My little one is 2y 2m old. She has just all of a sudden stopped napping. Nursery told me they spend half hour with her and she won't sleep and same at home. I'm really worried nursery will stop trying. But she just will not settle down at all all of a sudden. Help please. It's way too early for her to drop the nap!

Travelling with a 1 year old

Can I put a car seat in the front passenger seat for travelling with my baby?! He hates the car and just cries if he’s in the back by himself. I have family 4 hours drive away and I have to do the travel alone most of the time. It’s so stressful and exhausting trying to entertain him and I can’t just let him cry. How do you travel with a baby who hates the car? 😩

Car seats

Can anyone recommend a car seat, looking at an isofix base and a seat that grows with baby as gets older.
Currently ordered the Jole 180 the downside is it doesnt remove from base and thinking a 2nd car seat with a handle?

Any help is appreciated!

Sleepless nights due baby nonstop crying on and off for over 2/3 hours

I’m literally at breaking point, with my baby, his 3 week old and there’s some nights where he will do a screaming party in the early hours of the morning and it’s nonstop crying and I feel like a awful mum for it, I try everything to settle him and he not having none of it, and when I got my son checked at hospital because I was so worried they said he was healthy which is good news that he healthy just feel deflated and hopeless mum, and it’s destroying my mental health, at the minute.
I don’t remember my oldest boy being anything like this, I remember doing feeds and he’d stay up but not the screaming constantly.

How often are we changing sleepsuit?

If baby isn’t spitting up / having poop explosions and their sleepsuit is fine, how often are we changing them into a fresh one?

Are we changing them daily? I have been doing so but my husband thinks it’s pointless to change them into clean clothes if their outfit hasn’t got messy or dirty
