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

Leaky nappy advice

We use mamia nappies and have had no issue until now. We are using size 3 but she is leaking through them every night as she sleeps through the night. We’ve tried 4+ for night but they are still too big. Does anyone have any advice or any other brand that might hold more in a size 3?

Ms Rachel ??

How many of you are putting ms Rachel on??? I’ve just introduced it to my 8 month old and it’s like sorcery. I feel so guilty putting it on because LO don’t take his eyes off the screen, but it’s the only way I’m getting 20/30 minutes during Velcro baby stage. I’ll put it on twice a day for up to 30 mins at a time, the rest of the time we’re out the house, playing with toys or he’s with me doing jobs around the house. Should I even feel guilty?😩

Circumcision question

So my son got circumcised before leaving the hospital he’s 3 days old and they told me the day after leaving to take it off which is today and just add a lot of Vaseline to the area to help it and when we took him to his pediatrician he told us to just keep adding Vaseline on top of the gauze and it’ll fall off on its own but now I’m worried that it’ll get stuck to his skin if it sits to long. What do you feel I should do

Thoughts on this pram?

I’m 18 weeks pregnant and thinking of prams to get my baby. I saw this on Amazon and it seems affordable, plus the reviews are very positive about the quality of the product. Are there any mamas in the group that got this specific model? If so, how did you find it?
