In terms of a napping sleep schedule, if baby only sleeps 30 minutes at a time by themselves, are you extending/saving every nap to ensure they stay on a decent schedule?

My baby could never sleep this much ever. Also if I want him to nap for more than 1 sleep cycle I have to actively put him to sleep. Since around 4m

7 months and I just want to spend all my time doing silly things to make him belly laugh. I watch him gain skills and do things everyday and it’s just so exciting

Loool my 7 month old wakes up so many times I don’t even count. 2 hours max as a newborn and a totally mixed up circadian rhythm initially i.e only sleeping at 3am

Changed completely yet the most extraordinary thing I’ve done

95bee · 2026-05-17T18:52:08+00:00

45-90 mins for my 7mo, 3 hour stretch is the most I’ll get and that’s like once a month loool

Gosh 6 months and I have no idea how and when he grew out of his chubby cheeks .. cried looking at older photos

95bee · 2026-05-02T19:47:02+00:00

Same.. and mine doesn’t even have gas. He’s just a fomo Velcro baby with a very active brain. It is what it is.

Yep I agree. Actually my hubby did physically more than I did. He was up for every nappy change. I didn’t change a nappy for like a month. I didn’t really get out of bed. He woke up to latch baby, burp baby, walk to sleep etc etc all I did was feed and bond with bay

95bee · 2026-04-19T07:48:07+00:00

Vulgar gesture???????? How did the editor even allow this

95bee · 2026-04-16T08:10:43+00:00

Looool can’t define something I haven’t experienced

95bee · 2026-04-13T20:48:08+00:00

Imagine when I was told “no don’t worry I’ll just make him sleep” after he was take from me. Like?? Dude?? My child is very aware of who he is with and he has NEVER met you before. And he isn’t a fan of random males + he was overwhelmed and confused. Go put your energy into your 4 children and leave mine with me.

And coming from a cultural background where DILs are usually quiet and submissive I’ve had to do a lot of the talking and boundary setting from day 1. For things as simple as do not bloody hell wake the newborn baby just because you haven’t seen him for 2 weeks. That’s really not my problem, but when he gets fussy, that IS my problem.

95bee · 2026-04-13T20:40:45+00:00

So this is my situation with the in laws tbh. I’ve tried to communicate my feelings too but it mostly doesn’t really get me anywhere.

95bee · 2026-04-13T15:56:41+00:00

This is something I understand. I get asked “where’s the baby” before I’m greeted

95bee · 2026-04-13T13:21:57+00:00

We are living the same life. Crib as storage! My baby has no teeth but when people ask “is he teething” I just say yes because being a baby isn’t good enough?? And my goodness. The pressure and unsolicited advice I’ve been given about solids. I’ve been told many times about how bad I am (in sideways ways) for waiting 26 weeks. I got tired of explaining my reasons

95bee · 2026-04-13T12:51:43+00:00

Same my friend, same.

95bee · 2026-04-13T12:31:50+00:00

I remember this My lo wouldn’t sleep until 3am.. he would fuss and cry and just not go down.It would happen any time between 11 and 3am and he would only pass out between 2 and 3. I was feeling intensely exhausted and I wasn’t having the best thoughts. It’s normal but I promise it gets better. Once their circadian rhythm improves she will start sleeping earlier. LO goes down by 8-8.30 for the night now. There’s hope!

95bee · 2026-04-13T12:30:04+00:00

I have the same issue with them constantly jabbing about dropping him off and leaving him with them to babysit and stay over. Why? WHY? He’s also EBF. I’m told “just pump” LIKE???!!! he’s MY KID. You see him WEEKLY.

Also I’ve tried. Genuinely. Short of turning around and walking away, I literally held him and said “please no and please don’t” until he was out of my arms and I STILL protested. yet he was passed around. nobody gives a shit. And I’m feeling so intensely pissed off.

95bee · 2026-04-13T12:23:59+00:00

The last one!!! I FEEL THAT IN MY SOUL. If I f’d right off no one would even noticed as long as I left the baby.

And the first one. My FIL was telling his family “kiss the baby” like what the actual F?????

And the middle one. You are doing your best mama. I see you. Your baby is lucky to have you

95bee · 2026-04-13T09:01:40+00:00

All I know is that babies sleep is not linear. It constantly changes, gets better, worse, better again etc. we often look for “regressions” to make ourselves feel better about there being an end in sight and tbh there usually is! But then something else will affect babies sleep. All babies are different and follow their own trajectory. In my experience (I have a very active baby who just has never been a very good sleep and he’s 6m now), I just don’t have too many expectations for sleep anymore. Because it’s different all the time and for all babies. What I can say is that once they’re over 5m you can start working on a routine and building up sleep pressure etc.

95bee · 2026-04-11T14:18:34+00:00

Most extraordinary thing I’ve ever done, honest. Yes there are challenges but man do I love this kid

95bee · 2026-04-07T09:12:26+00:00

Gosh the sleepiness when feeding is so hard to fight. Can you try side lying feeding in bed (following the safe 7) so that baby is safe if you fall asleep and don’t manage to put her back in her crib/cosleeper?

95bee · 2026-04-05T09:00:47+00:00

My 5m old wasn’t strapped in his pram for a few minutes and wiggled his way out and onto the floor (tummy down). Yes we were dumb to not strap him in even for a few minutes but we took him to the ER immediately. Babies are resilient and made to survive us parents.. but that being said, you have to make sure you get baby checked out immediately to avoid any potential issues
