Nap times

How does your little one settle to sleep? I usually take my baby to their bed and lie with then till they sleep with a little screen time sleepy music. These days she isn't settling at all and wants to get back up! She got up at 8am today and it's now 3pm and still no nap! Help! Nap time hopefully isn't 4pm then she wouldn't sleep till 10 or 11pm! What do i do?

Get them up earlier is really the only option. Hopefully bring the nap forward or at least make it so she’s tired. These days I have to hold my baby to sleep or go in the car cos he just wants to go go go!!

Normally I just put her down in cot awake and self soothes to sleep. The last 2 days though she has refused a nap she's been awake chatting for about an hour

My 18m old refuses naps usually now. I’ve had to start giving her a bottle at nap time around 1ish but it doesn’t always work. X

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

Self settling

Any tips or advice of how to teach 6.5month old to self settle? I’m up multiple times in the night to cuddle her back to sleep and put the dummy in. I understand she will wake up and want a cuddle etc but any tips on self settling would be appreciated 🥰

Baby losing weight

Hi all, it's been a long time since I had a baby (my son is 15!). My daughter is 10 days old and was 9lb born, she has since lost weight at every appointment and is at a 12% loss. I am breast feeding every two hours for over an hour and topping her up every feed. I pump and can get 60ml in 10 minutes so I know my supply is okay. Anyone had this before? Can give me some tips? I currently feel like I'm letting my baby down.

Bedtime routine

I have a 12 week old and we struggle to get him to sleep in his next to me crib or Moses basket, so he sleeps in bed with us which means we’re struggling to have a bedtime routine as he won’t sleep till i go to bed with him.
Any suggestions please as he doesn’t sleep till around 11/12
