Sleep is for the weak 🙃

Anyone else’s baby not like to sleep? LOL. My baby girl is about to be 5 months and I swear ever since she was 2 months old, she won’t nap for more than 30min, 3 times a day. She also will only sleep 9ish hours total at night.

Maybe one day she’ll nap for longer 🫠

Solidarity! We are also firmly in the crap nap phase with my 3 month old. If he makes it to 40 min it’s a miracle

Same here. Mine only naps once a day since she was 8 months old (1 year now). She often wakes up during the night too

Yeh this was us until quite recently but the day naps have started improving and we have the odd day where I’ve started to see a longer afternoon nap emerging. Often still needs work from me, eg walking in pram but it feels promising & I can start to believe that there might be a time soon where she’ll go down in her bed for a proper sleep 🤞🤞🤞

Similar total overnight for us, been 4 wake ups until recently but again that’s dropped back to 2 in last few days. Little girl just turned 6 mths

We’re in the exact same situation. Daytime naps have always been this shit tbh so I’ve kind of accepted that but she at least slept 12 hours overnight until a couple of weeks ago, she’s started waking up early in the morning and is now only getting 9 hours overnight 😭 idk how to fix it as I’ve brought bedtime forward but she’s just getting up earlier. I’m hoping the clocks going forward at the end of the month will somehow fix it?!

My 8 month old is currently doing 2 30-45 minute naps, but hey she usually sleeps decent chunks at night time. My oldest is my low sleep needs kid and I feel so guilty complaining about being tired now because of it. He did go up to a 2 hour nap when he dropped to 1 nap at 9 months, so there is hope there for that longer nap. He still won't sleep longer then 10 hours at night and thats if he sleeps in.

Are you putting her down for naps or contact napping?

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?😩

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?

Toddler tippy toeing

My daughter is two been tippy toeing ever since shes learned how to walk. Not sure if it’s a phase or if it’s autism. If it helps shes also a really active baby. Has anyone experienced this with their toddler?

TBH

To be honest- I’m starting to hate that my husband gets to sleep peacefully , getting virtually uninterrupted sleep, while I’m being woken up every other moment by our 5 month old 🙃 I’m so so tired, my body hurts, and I have a little cold that won’t go away. My baby sleeps next to me and feeds on demand (it’s my fault, I know). I tried to regulate him without the boob, tonight, and he started crying. My husband tried to soothe him for less than a minute, but I took him back when I saw my husband was getting irritated by him crying. I ended up feeding him until he was mostly asleep, now he’s sleeping on my chest. I’m awake, I have to use the bathroom, and forgot to take my contacts out, and put nursing pads in, but I’m stuck. Meanwhile, my husband went back to sleep immediately 😮‍💨😤 how do people do this long term? 😩

I am so sick of using pads. It’s been almost 3 weeks and I am still bleeding. Can I use tampons yet?
