If you’d had this sleep would you get up or go back to sleep?

9pm - 11:30pm (wee break)
11:30-2:30am (up for feed)
3:30-5:30 (up for feed)

Baby went back down at 6:30

It's a 50/50 situation...
If it was my 1st born I'd go back to sleep but as I'm on my 2nd I'd be getting up with my 1st born.
I'm assuming those times are you sleeping also... That's a pretty good night in my experience!
Our sleep pattern is currently 12:30pm-2am, cluster feeding until 3/3:30am and then sleep until 7am.
Things will settle down and regulate into a routine soon.
Keep going and remember you're doing a great job 😍

Id get up purely as i have 2 other kids to sort out too & myself 😂 tbh my lo goes down about half 5 & im considering getting up then xx

If I had the chance, more sleep!

Until they are in a proper routine - always more sleep!!

I’d get up early as I have 2 others to get ready for school and make packed lunch and get breakfast ready 😂
If it was my 1st id sleep in 🤩

If its your first baby, sleeeeep!

Traveling by car

FTM to a one month old and we want to travel to visit family so they can meet the baby. The drive is only 4 hours away but online keeps saying to take breaks etc because its dangerous to have the baby in a car seat for more than 2 hours at a time. Anyone been thru something similar? And what did you do?

Tips for selling baby and maternity items?

I have lots of baby items (next to me, baby prep machine, monitor- all never used) to sell – what’s the best way to go about it? Any favourite platforms, tips for quick sales, or things I should avoid? Would love to hear your experiences!

Sleep

My LG (2.5) has always been a great sleeper. She still naps during the day, usually for anywhere between 1.5–3 hours, but lately she’s been fighting her naps and they’re getting later and later. But when shes gone, shes sparko!

We’ve had a few days recently where she hasn’t napped at all, and if she’s kept busy, she gets delirious by the end of the day before sleeping from 7pm–6am.

However, if we’re having a quieter day at home or I can’t get out, she might finally nap from 1–3pm. I try not to let her nap that late because it pushes bedtime back to around 10pm, but I also don’t want to keep her awake when she’s clearly exhausted, whinging and in need of sleep.

Does anyone have any tips for gently waking a toddler from a nap so they don’t sleep for so long? Or is it time to drop naps altogether? Alternatively, how can I get her back into the routine of napping from 12–2pm like she used to?

I know she obviously still needs the sleep, but our days are now starting at 5am, and I’m struggling to work out what’s best for her. I'm also aware the clocks go back soon which will fuck me even more. Shes up from 5/6am. She has so much energy and we play from the moment she opens her eyes till bedtime.

For context, I also have a 6-month-old who sleeps amazingly from 8pm–7am. This then means I sort my toddler out and have to wait upstairs until my baby wakes up as transporting her downstairs will wake her unnaturally.

Sleep question

For those whose babies are “sleeping through” or has a good 4/5 stretch of sleep through the night, does you baby have a dummy?
