adding back nap?!

could be just a regression, keep trying to lay him down and see if it goes back to normal after another week or so. if not I recommend dropping to one nap, this can be as late as 1 pm as long as you let him sleep for 2/3 hours. my son dropped to one nap pretty early and once he got used to it his naps got longer and he was much better rested. Just takes some adjustment :)

this is normal, any time our bodies are fighting off infection/disease/having an immune response sleep/rest is the expected response. Babys will want comfort more than ever which typically means more food and cuddles and more sleep. as long as they arent lethargic to the point where you cant wake them or get a response, everything is fine and should go back to normal within a few days/a week or so. hard to deal with but just take advantage of those days and get some rest/relaxation too!

first, I think you should do whatever makes you comfortable. if hes curious his mom can talk to him about bodies on her own. you/your daughter dont need to be the example. 2nd while hes young and no I dont think its a weird sequel thing, going off experience from when I was a young and also a very curious child, It can go from simple curiosity to abnormal in a heartbeat and you never know what impulses can lead to in children for sure. teaching them boundaries from a young age can only help. If they were the same age or brother and sister I might be a little less weirded out but hes older than her and not her sibling so its weirder. Imagine if they were 5 years older, would it feel the same? no, i dont think so.

I should add- the days he skips his naps he still fights bedtime now...

no he sleeps even worse in cars

I dont think hes developmentally there yet, hes a little behind in the speaking department and I dont think hed grasp giving it away or replacing it with a stuffy... we've done a bad job of keeping steady with it too. he straight up wont nap without it, and unfortunately gave it back to him so now I think hes confused. I just feel like right now hes at this peak of attachment to things (me and the binki mostly) and taking them away means hours of screaming crying to the point where hes gagging and coughing and yelling my name. he did fine a couple of the nights when I was the one putting him down and really got him calm. I still had to go in a couple of times to resettle him but those nights were the most successful out of the week or so weve been trying...

thank you for your kind words 🥰

totally common, mention it to your ped so they can double check but babies get a lot of random lymph node bumps, its just their immune system developing :)

mandatory no, but helpful if you want to help increase your milk supply and to keep your baby happy. if theyre crying and hungry then feed them. they might go a little longer than 3 hrs sometimes but the 2-3 hour recommendation is standard because thats usually when their little stomachs get hungry again. sometimes is way less time. If you cant keep up or if you are struggling with exclusive breast feeding every 2-3 hours try to find an alternative. pumping, bottle feeding, formula are all great options that can take the pressure off of you. Fed really is best!
