3 and a half month sleep

How long does everyone’s 3 and a half month sleep at night without waking up at all? Mine is sleeping from 10:30pm all the way until 8am without waking up. No I’m not bragging but just wondering if this is the norm for other parents as well?

Co sleeping

My baby only goes to sleep if she’s cuddling with me or dad. She used to sleep in her crib throughout the night fine with only waking 1 at night but now she only sleeps cuddling holding my breast. Has anyone experienced this once baby turned 8mo?

How to help my anxiety

I feel more comfortable co-sleeping then I do having my baby in the bassinet. I know it’s not safer but it feels more comforting I guess I could say. I feel like I can’t sleep all night when he’s in the bassinet

Sleep regression?

We are trying to get our 16 month old to drop to 1 nap because his bedtime was getting way too late. We are on day 4 of one nap, nighttime sleep is bad. Has anyone else struggled with the transition to one nap?

I’m thinking he’s thinking the earlier bedtime is a late nap. How do we get him to realize it’s bedtime and not a 8pm nap?

Formula mommas

Has anyone had any experience with their LO eating more of one formula, and then not eating as much of another? We have even doing Enfamil since he was 5 days old, but recently there’s been a shortage near us so we had to switch to Similac temporarily. LO chugs the similac and wants 6-8 oz every feed, but the Enfami...

Not napping

My almost 3 month old is not napping through out the day. He’ll fall asleep for 5-10 minutes top & he’ll get fussy & I can tell he’s sleepy. I’m a first time mom so I’m not sure if this is typical? I’ll take any tips to help him nap!

Not into buying what I don’t need

What’s the best detergent I can use for baby and the rest of the house hold? Tide Oxy Gain Downy I’m not at the point to when I can make my own at home I just don’t have the storage space.

Baby carriers - Recommendations please 🙏🏽

Hi all, wondering if you are using any baby carriers and if so, which brands would you recommend ? I bought a baby sling but found it really awkward to put on / take off independently. Would love to hear if you have used a baby carrier for your little ones + your experience with it 💖
