How many naps a day?

Is your baby taking 3 naps still or transitioning to 2? How did you know they were ready to go down to 2? And also what time do they wake/go to sleep?

Mines on a solid 3, no way could she do 2! She usually naps around 830/9, 12:30 and then 3/4pm. Wakes up at 6-7 and goes to bed around 7-730

Mind has a mixture of 3 and 2 all depends on how long her naps are z

Depends on the time he wakes up and the length of each nap. If it was a long nap then 2. If it’s been a short nap day then he had a bridge nap around 3/4pm to make it to bedtime

Mines on 3 ☺️ I’m not sure she could do 2 right now as she still has long wake windows (2.5-3hr) but her naps are usually around 40 mins! Sometimes her last nap she fights though which is a sign of needing to drop the third so I’m trying to do that but lengthening her wake windows every so lightly every day but she’s not well and just cut her first tooth xx

Mines on 2 now mostly, but if she wakes up at 6 then we do 3. She usually wakes around 8, naps 11 and 3, only ever half an hour 🙄 and then bed at 7. If only she would sleep through the night, I’d say we were doing good hahaha

Mostly 2, but recently she had a few ones that were too short so needed a later cat nap. Not a fan of that though cause it messes her bed time up and makes her more restless in the night

1-2 naps here
We base everything on his cues and have just seen him go longer before sleep and our now finding his first nap is often not until around 11am or sometimes later.

My LO has two naps a day. First one between 11 and 2 for 2 hours and the second one between 3 and 5 for 1 hour. Bedtime is between 7 and 8. He transitioned to two naps a day on his own

Signs of autism 2 year old

My child had just turned 2 recently and we're approaching next health review and I am unsure of certain behaviour that he's showing sometimes.

He's speaking walking etc no concerns here however not always he's reacting to his name, not always he's pointing, sometimes walking on tip toes, sometimes flapping his hands.

Online says that those are normal signs and nothing to be concerned until they're 3.

What are your experience in that matter should i be worried?

He's with me at home no nursery however everyday we're at playgroups.

Nappy sizes

Unsure what to do for nappy sizes. My bubba is currently in size 4 nutmeg and rascals but they're both tight and not fitting around her hips very well. She's also 8.5kg weighed last week.

Any ideas on what we should do?

Hey mamas,

I’m reaching out here because this community always feels like a safe space. Lately, I’ve been struggling a lot more than usual with anxiety and depression, and it’s been feeling pretty heavy like laying on the floor sobbing for hours heavy. I was doing okay for a few weeks and then it started up again. I feel like I’m failing my son and now showing up for him because I’m always so sad or anxious

My doctor and I have been talking about options, and Sertraline (Zoloft) came up as a potential next step. Before making a decision, I wanted to ask if anyone here has been prescribed Sertraline? I’d love to hear what your experience was like—especially around how it made you feel starting out, how long it took to notice a difference, or any tips you wish you knew beforehand.

Sending love to anyone else who might be in the thick of it right now, too. Thanks so much in advance for sharing your stories! xx

4 year old boy

My son is very active. Always jumping here and there. He is a ray of sunshine. Today when he was playing around the iron cot he hit his face on it very hardly and his father is taking him on his way to the ER. My mama heart aches so much seeing him crying in pain and hope he doesn’t get a scar from it as it is on his face. I am so scared and feeling lot of hurt myself :( just wanted to vent out.

Is his stomach normal?

My little boy is 2.5 weeks old. His stomach is very “balloon” looking and skin looks stretched.. Can anyone tell me if they think it looks normal or needs looking at? He’s solely breastfed but does sick up quite a bit…
Thanks (one anxious tired mum 🙁)
