Naps

Hello, my baby used to sleep until 6:30-7:30am and has 2 naps of around 2h in total. This week he has been fighting his first nap, I managed to put him to sleep but with some crying or complaining first. He has also been waking up at 5am in the morning. Can it be a sleep regression or maybe it is time to drop a nap?...

Sleeping

My baby does not take good naps in the day time at all he’s 5 months and he’ll stay up all day with like a 10 minute nap one time it’s very rare for him to even nap for an hour throughout the day but at night he sleeps 10pm to 11am?

Food, bottles etc

My baby hardly eats any solid food but still loves milk. He isn’t showing any signs of wanting to drop a bottle and still has 4 7oz bottles a day. I feel like I need to try and help him reduce milk in the hope that he’ll eat more but I also am a bit skeptical of this as I just think he’s still not going to eat much ...

LO still needing drink at night

I don't know what to do. My 14 month old refuses to go to sleep without her sippy. She gets cows milk, but I know she can't have it after brushing teeth. She refuses to drink plain water, and juice has to much sugar in it.

Sleeping Through the Night

Is it too late to introduce expressed milk bottle to an EBF 3 month old?

Baby is 3 month old, EBF. I am going back to work next month, so I want to express milk so that dad can feed when I am not at home. The first attempt was a disaster - baby cried the lungs out and fell asleep with an empty belly. Any advice?

Overtired?

So my newborn literally hasn’t slept for more than 15 minutes in 4 hours. She’ll wake up and be hungry so I’ll change her, feed her, burp her, and then try to transfer her to the crib and that’s when she always wakes up and usually the pacifier will soothe her back asleep but she keeps pushing it back out and throwi...

Did anyone have issues leaving the hospital without a car seat?

My partner and I chose to buy the 4 in 1 convertible car seat due to better safety ratings. A friend of mine told me the hospital won't let us leave without seeing the baby in it. It's meant to stay in the vehicle.
