No sleep training just optimising day sleep vs night and longer awake time gone from waking hourly or less to some 2/3/4 hour stretches which is more than good enough for me x

Wont sleep

Why the fuck is my 6month old deciding to wakeup 3hours after put the bed, clearly tired, wanting to sleep but not sleeping???? Doing raspberries, fidgeting, pinching etc

He has had enough naps, this isnt a nap, this is bedtime. He has already gone through sleep regression and this isnt it

I’ll rock him to sleep and he will put his head down but kicking his legs around or making sounds of all sorts. What is this????? What the fuck am i supposed to do?

How do you respond to “mom”?

My sweet 16 month old calls me mom affectionally and it’s the sweetest thing. His voice is so cute and I feel dumb answering “yes that’s me” “yep I’m your mom” lol help! It’s his favorite word and says it like 3x every other word (if that even makes sense, I don’t know how to write that). If I don’t respond then we lose a lot of our “conversations” but my lameness causes me to overthink it. Obv he doesn’t care, I just spiral lol. Maybe easy phrases, or a song about moms? I do other fun responses when I have enough focus (like taking the attention bid: tossing him in the air, hugs kisses, bringing him into what I’m doing. Also saying everyone’s names around us too etc) but my problem is go to words to say that aren’t the first two lol. For when I’m busy or focused on other stuff etc. TIA 🙏🏼

Temperature 12 month old

My little one has not been 100% for about 2 weeks she’s had one and off temperature one day she’s fine the next she’s got a mild temp but she’s been so snotty and chesty for about 2 weeks.
Today she’s been extra clingy she still plays with her toys but then she’s like had enough and wants to just be held she’s also still eating and drinking fine. This morning she had a temp of 38 something then she perked up after Calpol and was ok then tonight she had a bath and then she was crying in the bath so I got her out and she was really shivering so got her dressed and cuddles temp was 39.2 gave Calpol at 6:45 rang 111 they told me to go to pharmacy (complete waste of time) when I got back her temp was 39.6 left her a bit to sleep then check was 39.1 then at 10:45 temp was 39.3 gave her nurofen this time she’s been asleep this whole time but keeps moving and waking up crying then going back to sleep. Her breathings fine not super fast not sucking it’s just her temp. If it doesn’t go down but she sleeps shall I just leave her?
I don’t want to go to sleep myself

Breastfeeding

I’m finding my 2 week old will feed on the breast for 5-10 minutes and then pull off? She’s putting on weight and otherwise healthy but it worries that it’s such short amount of time and then she’ll sleep for few hours.

Has anyone else found this?

Thanks!

Sleeping through

Any tips and advice. Silly as I know every baby is different, but my LO hasn’t slept through the night once. The longest he’s done is 6 hours and only a handful of times. He is still waking up every 2-3 hours. The broken sleep is hard 😣
His routine is: bath, bf or bf milk bottle or formula. He goes down at about 8pm. But varies 7,30-8.30.
