Does anyone else’s baby not sleep!?

I have two friends with similar age babies who both sleep through the night, and I feel like I’m the only one. He wakes every hour at best until midnight and then I’m lucky for a 2-3 hour stretch after that. He also won’t nap in a cot in the day. 😭

Nap time

What do you do with nap time if they fall asleep in the car for 10 min before you get home. He normally goes down for a nap around 1. We ran to the store and he fell asleep around 12. He woke up when we got home and had lunch. I want him to take a good nap. Scared to put him down and he won’t sleep. lol

Nappy leakage

Pls tell me what I’m doing wrong because every time my little girl is sitting up right and poops it leaks out of the back!! This is in Pampers and Fred and Flo. She looks to me like she’s in the correct size and if I did the nappy any tighter I’d cut the circulation!! 😫

Concerned baby always sleeping with hands to head.

My baby alway sleeps with her hand to her head and when feeding she keeps one hand to her head. Is this something normal or should I be concerned and contact gp. She is 4 months and 1 week. For instance in this photos she is not sleeping but chilling.

Bed rails

My baby is a toddler now and we co sleep. I’m looking for a bed rail that is high enough for him. Our mattress is very thick so the regular bed rails that need to be tucked under the mattress are very short for him. Any recommendations? Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks

Light sleeper

My 2 month old has been sleeping well from 9pm-2 am. When he wakes up at 2 am for his bottle, he is fussy and refuses to sleep. He only falls back asleep when I have him laying in bed next to me. I don’t want to do this because I know it can be dangerous to co-sleep but some nights I’m so exhausted that it just happ...

Baby can barely do 2h wake window :/

How long are your wake windows? We had a period around 5 months when he could do 2.5/3h and we were down to 2-3 naps, but lately he gets super fussy after 1.5h and needs to nap at the 2h mark. He started crawling recently and I think he is more active, but even when we’ve been on a walk and he hasn’t been active a...

Short naps again?

My baby hasn’t long turned 8 months - he was napping pretty well and consistently, 45-60 minutes in the morning and 1 hour and a half - 2 hours at lunch, sometimes a 20 min third nap if we needed to cut the second one short to get somewhere etc. The last few days he’s been fighting naps again taking ages to go down ...
