Waking from naps

Hi all, Do you wake your babies from long naps? My baby can often sleep more than 2 hours for his nap and I’ve currently been waking him once he reaches two hours but just wanted to see if others do wake or leave them to sleep?

Wake windows/routine

Any advice on wake windows and routines? My little boy is 4 weeks so I know that’s too early for a proper routine at the moment, but when should I start paying attention to wake windows and getting him in to a proper bedtime routine? At the moment I just follow what he needs when he needs it.

Introducing a bottle

My LO is EBF but it’s absolutely taking its toll on me she feeds constantly or just wants to use me as a pacifier. The HV advised introducing a bottle maybe 1-2 feeds but we have tried 3 brands now, Tommee Tippee, MAM and Nano Bebe and she really won’t take any of them. How did everyone introduce a bottle to their E...

Does your baby still go in a buggy?

At what age do babies stop cooperating about going in the pram? My child is very independent and I think i don't need it anymore but it feels weird getting rid of it so early. Anyone else ?

Foldable travel buggy

Recommendations please. We have a cheap umbrella fold one and hate it. Looking for something small lightweight, easy to fold, easy to push. If you have one and are happy with it please recommend. Or if you have one and are not happy what does it do badly? Thanks!

How many naps is your LO having?

My LO is still having 4 a day, he only naps for 30-40 minutes max. And his last nap is around 5.30ish. He goes to bed at 8.30-9pm and wakes around 6-7am. We tried to drop a nap but this resulted in an early bedtime and an early wake (5-6am) which just doesn’t work for us. We saw the health visitor the other day who ...

7 Months & Still on 4 Naps – How to Transition Back to 3?

My baby is turning 7 months tomorrow and is still on 4 naps a day. A few weeks ago, we had transitioned to 3 naps, but recently he’s been waking up very early (between 6:00 and 6:45 AM), happy and active. Because of this, I’ve had to reintroduce a fourth nap to make it to bedtime. Bedtime varies between 7:00-8:00 P...

Additional car seat

My MIL is keen to get a car seat for when she’s looking after our little one in the future - she’s got her eyes set on a Doona (mainly because she thinks it’s an interesting concept…) but I’m a bit wary based on various things I’ve seen and read. I believe they also don’t last particularly long? He’s currently comi...

Rolling

My baby can now roll back to front, but can’t get back on his back once he’s on his front. In the night I sometimes find him lying on his front, asleep with his face down and it scares me so I roll him back onto his back but this wakes him up! What shall I do?
