What are his naps in the day like?

Going through the exact same thing 😭😭😭😭 and cant get my daughter to take naps in her cot. Feel so lost and hopeless today. I’m sorry I have zero advice, but hoping someone else does!! 🤞🤞🤞

What times are the naps typically

Maybe try bringing the morning nap forward to 9-915 ish and then the lunchtime nap around d 1230-1ish so there is a good 4 hour gap between last nap and bed time

I just always say to myself its only temporary, at some point we'll be trying to get them up cause they're still awake at 10am!

Literally going through the same thing with my 8 month old. She was sleeping through the night, now we are cutting teeth, crawling, standing, pulling ourselves up and NOT sleeping. She won’t even take an afternoon nap. She is with my mom during the day ans she said she takes kne nap around 9:30-10 and other than that if she falls asleep later in the day the very second you put her down she wakes up crying. Now she’s doing it at night.. sometimes she sleeps through the night ans other times like tonight it’s been ans hour and a half, she’s asleep in my arms ans the moment I start to lean over the crib to lay her down she he fighting it. She wakes up instantly ans cries until she is picked back up and held once again and falls instantly back to sleep... I just don’t understand.

Oh thank god! I though it was just us ans perhaps something was wrong. She use to sleep through the night and has started to roll to her side and belly but it’s like the very second I try to lay her down she stiff arms the bee before I can even get her close to it or I get her butt on the mattress and she throws her hand over to reach for the crib as to confirm that “yep my mom actually thinks she’s going to lay me down” then she arches her back and stiffens her body with her arms to her side to avoid me rolling her over .. it’s so awful, exhausting and frustrating especially after you pick her up ans she’s literally asleep and you do it all over again. Is this 8month regression? She will nap one nap a day that’s it also.

Baby sleeping

Hi mom's, how do you get your baby to sleep a full 8 or 12 hours every night, I'm suffering my baby girl only sleep for a few minutes every night, I mean she'll fall asleep at say for example 8pm and by 8:15 or before she's up again, I'm struggling really bad and I'm so tired and stressed out I need help

Travel cot - take own or not?

Would you buy a travel cot when going away for the weekend or would you use the hotels? Premier inn to be exact

Sleep help

How do you cope? My little girl will not be put down anymore. She will -scream- the entire way through the night if I am not stood rocking her or feeding her. The second I try and put her down she wakes up and will not stop screeching until she’s picked up again. I have had flu after flu this winter and i was hospitalised earlier this week because my body cant cope with having no rest and being unable to get better. Im so done with this I need sleep. I never wanted to do the cry it out method but even when I’ve had to because I literally didnt have the physical strength to pick her up, she would never stop crying. I tried making the bed warm, laying her on my t-shirt, white noise, lullabies, silence, pitch black then low lights etc etc, I am getting no sleep and its killing me.

Worst part is I have a husband but he has no regard for any of it. He’s never once helped me put her down or woken up to soothe her not a single time and shes almost 10 months. He knows how ill I am and how much I need rest. His excuse is that he goes to work. I was supposed to return to work a few weeks ago and I did go a couple days but then I have been put on bed rest by the doctors and not worked since because I physically can’t. I am so sick of being ill and he’s completely neglecting me and our daughter. How does anyone do this.

Sorry needed that rant

Feeling really disconnected from my husband…

We have a 3 year old son. When our son was a newborn my husband prioritized my MILS feelings (was afraid to be honest with her and hurt her feelings). I was recovering from a C section and she was at our house uninvited when we brought our son home. He knew she was there but didn’t call her and tell her to leave. She knew I didn’t want her there when I brought the baby home.
We invited my MIL to meet the baby in the hospital- she did. The only thing that went wrong was she told us she didn’t like the name we chose for him. Also told me not to feed our baby formula because “it’s poison”. My MIL has always been bossy- controlling, uses a lot of guilt and shame to control things. She’s tried to control how we manage finances, where we live, and now how we raise our son.
Basically since my husband didn’t prioritize my feelings as the new mother - and didn’t put us first- I’ve felt unattracted to him. I view my husband like a he’s man child. He has finally realized how difficult his mother can be. But I just have felt so unsupported by my husband and part of me just wants to get away from him. I want our relationship to work but the connection and attraction seems to have vanished. I have a fantasy of meeting a man that’s mature, emotionally intelligent, that I feel taken care of. Just venting and advice welcomed…

Haven holiday

Looking at booking a short stay at Haven and would like to hear from mums who’ve been with 2 under 3. Where did your children sleep? My 3 year old could manage a bed in a lodge but my youngest will be 17 months and in a cot. The lodges don’t look big enough for a travel cot. Where did you put yours?

Thanks!
