Daytime Naps

Anyone else’s 2 month old not able to sleep by himself in the daytime? He sleeps fine at night independently but I have to do contact naps in the day and he has to be in motion so I’m not able to nap in the day which is causing me to burn out.

Routine

Our LO is about to turn 8 months. He is still on 3 naps currently and wake windows of 2 / 2.5 / 2.5 / 3 ish (varies). I'm struggling to fit everything in to keep his bed time at an OK time?! It would be too early if we cut a nap completely. Just wondering what everyone's routines are? I think we need to push to 3 ho...

19 weeks

My little one is 19 weeks old. He has completely stopped napping in the day. He is soooooo tired , rubbing his eyes yawning (I’m catching all the cues at different times to see if it makes a difference) then he is becoming fussy because he gets so tired. If he manages to doze off while having a feed he then wakes up...

Feeding

Hey everyone my daughter is almost 4 weeks old and is only drinking 1oz or 2oz each feed but the times between the feed vary. I was just wondering what your babies are drinking at this age? I was considering changing her bottles and seeing if that makes a difference. I’m going to call the health visitor tomorrow to ...

Toddler wide feet

My son has G feet from Clark’s meaning wide feet, I’d love to get him a pair of vans, addidas, converses or Nike shoes? Has anyone else managed to get some shoes for a toddler with wide feet from these places? I did get him some addidas ones but they were too skinny fitting.

huckleberry’s membership, is it worth it for tracking sleep

My 3 months old baby is struggling with napping during the day and I end up with a fussy overly tired baby in the evening. I am using huckleberry to track his sleep but im wondering if is worth paying for a membership to help with his daily naps. Is it worth doing it? Do you any of you ladies use it?

Naps &sleep

Ok, so baby is just turning 4 months old. For my sanity when she was a newborn, I started bed sharing with her, because she would only sleep when being held. This has worked, and still works brilliantly for us, but I'm now wanting to change things up a bit. She's currently exclusively breast fed, but I'm going to ...

Breastfed baby barely poos

I was told that breastmilk is like a natural laxative but for some reason my little one very rarely goes. I find that when I’m exclusively feeding him from the breast he won’t go at all but if I give him a bottle of expressed mil

Non-stop whining and screaming

It's never ending. He quite literally doesn't stop screaming. He maybe has some good days, but everything sets him off. I seriously don't know what to do anymore.

2 under 2 prams

Can anyone recommend a pram for a 16 month old and suitable for a newborn - I liked the look of the joie stroller but it doesn’t look suitable for a newborn but I don’t overly know what I’m looking for 😂 Preferably folds relatively small to fit in the car boot. Thank you

14 months at the end of the week…

Anyone’s little not walking?? I feel like we are falling behind. My little dude can crawl at mock speeds, climb the furniture, bear crawling is his new favorite method of transportation, stand on his own without pulling up and holding anything, and usually stay there for upwards of a minute. Constantly cruising furn...
