I am envious of my SD relationship with my baby

4 month old naps

I never know if he's going to have 20 minutes or an hour. Yesterday he had a 10 minute nap and one half hour nap but it wasn't that he wasn't tired. He just...

Filling nappy less

Has anybody else’s 15/16 month old begin to not fill their nappies as much as they used to? I feel like we’re doing 3-4 changes a day now and sometimes the nappy isn’t even heavy etc

Bottle feeding

I wondered if anyone has been able to sort of train their baby to sleep longer (bottle fed babies)? I've been trying to drag out feeds so she'll eat more and then sleep longer periods. I think it's starting to work, she went 5 hours instead of 3 last night, and if she really howls the place down I feed her but if no...

Night feeds

My baby is 10 weeks and is still waking up every 2ish hours to eat during the night, leading to 3 or 4 feeds at night. Anybody else or is my baby just crazy?? The longest stretch we’ve gone has been 5 hours - he will sleep really well one night and then the next night it’s back to waking every 2 hours or so.

Nursing sports bras

I am really struggling to find a good nursing sports bra. I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations? Do people find them supportive enough for high impact sports?

Early morning wake = early nap

My little boy keeps waking up at 6 or just before, which means by 10:30/11 he is completely overtired and ready for a nap. He normally sleeps for 1.5 - 2 hours and then I try and have him in bed around 6:30 - 7pm (depending on how busy we’ve been etc) how do you get out of the cycle of early wakes?! I’d love to try ...

Breastfeeding

Almost 4 weeks in and I’m getting a little fed up of breastfeeding. Little man wants to be on it all the time! I’ve introduced one formula bottle a day just to free up some time with my toddler and so I can do bedtime. Is it bad if I stop and just formula feed 🙈 am I giving in too soon?
