Morning nap

Anyone doing one morning nap? How long does your baby sleep for? I try to stretch my baby out until 11 but today he lasted until 10.30 so wanted to know if this would interrupt night sleep? I wanted to start doing 11-1 sort of nap. Just looking for advice. Thanks mummas.

Travel cot issues

My toddler does not like sleeping in a travel cot, he sleeps well in his cot at home. He goes down in the travel cot ok but always wakes up and won't resettle, won't sleep in bed with us and just gets angry. It puts me off going away anywhere with him but I don't want to be stuck either... Has anyone else experienc...

Poo!

My little girl is 5 weeks and EBF. He only seems to poo every 2-3 days. He is farting lots, has lots of really wet nappies and is gaining weight. The midwife and doctor do not seem to be worried but when I look online it says BF babies should go every day. Anyone else’s baby have this problem? x

8 days PP and my nipples are raw and pink (baby has a good latch)

So they are raw, pink, and so sensitive. I am wearing my silverettes all day because I can't stand anything touching them. And I air them out for 30 mins at night. Is there anything else i can do? How long does it take for the nips to get used to it and stop being so sore? 🥲

Nap refusal

Anyone else’s baby take AGES to go down for a nap? The last week or so baby has taken at least 30 mins to go down for a nap, and most of that time they’re babbling, screaming, fidgeting the whole time. They’re on 3 naps a day (sometimes 4 if naps are very short), and I put them down after 2.5 - 3 hours of wake tim...

Regression

Anyone else’s baby being an absolute pain at the moment? She’s waking up 1-2 times in the night for hours at a time, either screaming or just wide awake. In the day she’s so cranky and just cries at anything. I can’t leave her with my partner because she screams for me.

Self soothe

Is there anyway to encourage self soothing without letting your baby cry it out? My son is 6 months and we’ve been leaving him for 5 minutes once he wakes from a nap to see if he can put himself back to sleep.
