Sleeping routine.
Hellooo. I have a 2 month old who doesn’t seem to sleep during the day (unless he’s on me and wakes as soon as I put him down) but after googling it says he should be sleeping 5-6 hours a day.
Does anyone have any daytime napping hacks? Obviously I love the cuddles but sometimes it would be nice to get some housework done 🤣

I had a bub like that (Mines now 2yo, actually not sure why I’m seeing this post because I’m not in this group lol)
He was just the same, would only sleep on me. And I just forced myself to put him down. He did wake up. I never let him cry it out, I’d always respond right away. And eventually he’d stay down for longer and longer, I think as he started to realize I’d always be right there. Took a little time and it’s a little annoying for a brief bit but just keep putting him down and picking him up as needed and he’ll come to learn he’s safe even when he’s not in your arms.
And eventually mine turned into an amazing napper!
Highly recommend a sheepskin for daytime naps 😊
If my daughter is being clingy like this I put her in the carrier to get things done. All my daughter does is sleep. Sometimes I sit for a couple of hours just for her to sleep

Night routines.
What’s everyone’s 6 month old routines, I want to try something new see if it works with my baby. What time do people do the last bottle & put their baby to bed? And how long do they go through the night?
My girl was sleeping 12 hours through the night originally, going down anywhere from 9-10. Lately she’s been waking 4-5 times a night (mostly settling without a bottle but sometimes needs one) I know this may be down to 6 month sleep regression, but just wanted to know about everyone else’s experiences!
Thanks!

Pumping
HOW are you pumping the recommended 8-12 times per day??
I'm barely managing to fit 5-6 pumps in a 24 hour period. Even then each pump is only around 10 minutes long and I only manage around 40ml 🙃
I feel so guilty, I have a daughter in the NICU that I want to provide milk for, but I'm struggling to feed the one I have at home.

question
so my son is currently 6m i’m having awful baby fever and i want another baby… however im breastfeeding and i don’t think being pregnant and bf would be the grandest thing. has anyone done that? what was your experience and how are your babies now? i’d love for all my babies to be close in age… and they’d roughly be about a year and a half apart

When did you start feeling like yourself?
I feel like after giving birth I don’t look after myself anymore, my son is now 1 year old but it’s like i don’t have the energy to do my makeup or my hair or even get dressed sometimes. And i really want to. When would you say you started really doing these things?
