Baby won’t nap without sleep sack?

My baby is 13 weeks old and hates sleeping without a sleep sack. With a sleep sack on a night I put her down around 8/9pm after a feed and she goes to sleep amazingly, even settling on her own, and will sleep until about 7am (I have to dream feed her during the night as she was loosing too much weight) then during the day I try to keep her out the sack (as I feel like 11 hours on a night is absolutely plenty) but she literally refuses to nap at all without it unless she is on me and then when transferred she wakes up maybe 5 minutes later and doesn’t settle herself. Is it fine to not have her napping during the day if she sleeps so long at night? Or should I try putting her in a sack for nap times? Thanks ☺️

My little boy is a bit like that. We wrap a blanket around him during the day and he sleeps well with that but wont without it. But there’s no harm in putting her in a sleep sack to sleep if that’s what she prefers x

My little girl is also 13 weeks and will sleep about 8:30/9pm until around 8/8:30am, sometimes with 1 night wake up but not often and she also will not nap unless she’s on me and will wake up a couple minutes after being put down, I honestly think that’s what helps her sleep so long at night aswel as she wants a 5oz feee every 3hrs, I wouldn’t worry about her only catnapping throughout the day unless she’s really fussy and overtired but considering she sleeps early and wakes up late I don’t think it’s too much of an issue x

Sleep train

Hey mums
When did everyone sleep train their babies and what method did they use?? I’ve got a 5 month old and I feel like it’s to early and he’s to little but Google says now is best

2 year review

I just had my 2yo review today. And honestly that could have been a phone call. She didn't look at the questionnaire at all, barely interacted with my son and didn't weigh or measure him.

Is this normal or should I call back and ask for more? I'm not concerned about his development etc at all. It just felt like a waste of time tbh.

Edit: I also felt a slight judgement when I told her he's not in nursery yet as I work from home. We go to plenty of playgroups etc but she was like: oh ok...

2 month old grunting constantly

My 2 month old is grunting and squirming almost constantly. If hes awake and not feeding then it seems like is squirming and grunting about 95% of the time. I thought it was infant dyschezia, but is it normal for it to be all day long? He poops about once or twice every other day.

Pram

I was wondering when are people planning on changing their little ones into the seated pram rather than the bassinet? My little on is 3 1/2 months and got good neck control!
