Has anyone's LO's completely dropped their naps?

Crying for long periods

Anyone else's babe cry for long periods at night? Around the same time my baby cries about 7pm every night without fail. I've tried everything and although she does have gut issues, in my heart I don't think that's what is upsetting her. She's absolutely fine all day until bed time then cries for a few hours until s...

Sleeping in next to me

My baby is finding it harder and harder to stay asleep in his next to me once transferred. I’m ending up having to sleep with him on my chest which is quite anxiety inducing so not getting a great sleep myself. How do I fix this so he sleeps in next to me? He’ll be 2 months on Wednesday. He’s 8.5 weeks currently
