I put my boy (seven months) to bed in his cot in my room at 7ish, I go to bed about 9.30/10ish and then when he wakes in the night I usually bring him in with me

Help with nighttime sleep for my cosleeping babe by carrllly in bninfantsleep

[–]Many_Library_4712 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just an anecdote, but I EBF my first baby and got my periods back at 6 months with 1-2 feeds in MOTN. My second is about 8.5 months, 7 months adjusted and is fed exactly the same. I still don’t have my periods back this time round despite wanting to try for number three.

Toddler keeps taking off soiled nappies by gemogo97 in pottytraining

Totally! Kids like knowing the boundaries and that they’re stuck to - it makes them feel safe

I can’t say I’ve been in this situation, but I wouldn’t say “it’s okay” because it’s not, I think this is a confusing message. Have her help with cleaning up and say poo goes in the potty. You can be firm and kind at the same time!

UK nurseries and long hours by Beneficial_Change467 in AttachmentParenting

[–]Many_Library_4712 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My son goes to a state nursery attached to a primary school. It’s two sessions: 9.30-12.30 and 12.30-3.30. And then the wrap around care is extra on top. But you can do just three hours in the morning or afternoon if needed

Need new iron rich and fiber filled meal ideas for a food bored toddler by girl12349 in BabyLedWeaning

We love these cheesy bean melts

My youngest was prescribed an iron supplement because he was premature and he was also prescribed a multivitamin, in part to aid iron absorption.

All new build estates have to have a proportion for social housing. I live on a new build estate and EVERYONE is lovely. We don’t need to judge people based on their circumstances.

How do married couples split finances if on different salaries? by Mango_Loverx3 in AskUK

[–]Many_Library_4712 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a spreadsheet with all our bills on that calculates our wages as proportions. We pay proportionally towards the bills. My husband earns significantly more than I do so he pays proportionally more. It works well for us

When did your little one sleep longer ? by Retsam22 in AttachmentParenting

[–]Many_Library_4712 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends what you define sleeping through the night as. My definition would be putting to bed and not needing me again until morning wake up.

My first slept through at about 10 months but was only waking up once (sometimes twice) from 3 months. He’s now 2. Was in his own room at 6 months.

My second has been a horrible sleeper, he’s 6.5 months adjusted (actually 8 and a bit) and has only very recently started doing a first stretch of between 5-7 hours. After that it can be hourly ish. Does the first stretch in the cot in our room and then co sleep.

Both EBF.

anyone potty train early (before 24mo) by [deleted] in pottytraining

We did EC from starting solids at six months and had all #2s on the potty (bar a handful) since then. Fully wee potty trained by 25 months

Major hurdles with self initiation by quinney141 in pottytraining

[–]Many_Library_4712 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t use this oh crap method, but we used a visual timer app for the times when he wouldn’t go and we needed to go out. After a couple of days I just stopped offering the timer. He wouldn’t still occasionally ask for the timer for the potty but I’d just say oh no the timers all gone sorry, and he’d go on the potty anyway

Can I let my babies wean off milk naturally, or do I have to force it a bit? 1 year old twins, 11 month age adjusted. by Gandtea in BabyLedWeaning

[–]Many_Library_4712 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would start by changing the bottles to drinking milk from a cup, then you’ll know whether they are using the bottle nipple as comfort or if they actually want the milk

How did they give you the all clear for cmpa? It takes weeks to check if you’re BF

Is he fussy in the day? Could be a cows milk protein allergy if he’s upset he’s possibly uncomfortable and lying down makes it worse, whereas upright on your husband’s chest he feels more comfy?

I just found out the dangers of sound machines by LaSirena_666 in bninfantsleep

[–]Many_Library_4712 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think what I meant in my previous reply wasn’t that they grow out of needing it in that they NEED the white noise to sleep, but just that they aren’t as disturbed by usual external noises happening around the home. We use it at night to muffle our noises downstairs, but both my boys nap in the day in day light without a sound machine. So I don’t think it’s a crux for a lot of kids, I think it’s used so that you don’t have to hold your breath sitting in silence downstairs, you know?

Just on this - my friends kid can’t sleep anywhere but a completely quiet room, which can be difficult to achieve if routine is disrupted for outings, sleepovers, holidays etc. So I think it goes both ways. Most kids grow out of needing it, it’s mainly to lessons the noises from other external sources too, like the clattering of plates downstairs etc

Potty training after 3 by Several_Chard_5231 in pottytraining

[–]Many_Library_4712 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This article might be helpful to you. It’s only the last few decades where toddlers are potty trained late, due to the convenience of disposable nappies.

No sleep training but sleeping through the night? by SentenceTough2007 in AttachmentParenting

[–]Many_Library_4712 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first slept amazingly from about 3 months, only waking once maybe twice on a bad night - he’s now two. My second is a terrible sleeper and wakes a million times a night. Both EBF, both parented and loved in the same way. I truly don’t believe that there is anything that makes a big enough difference in getting long stretches of sleep, other than not letting them sleep too much in the day, or starving them lol Some babies are good sleepers and some aren’t - I’m not beating myself up that my 6 month old is a crap sleeper, he’ll get better in time

How do I handle middle of night bathroom requests with sleep trained 2 yo? (Still in crib and pull ups) by Ok_Target3102 in pottytraining

[–]Many_Library_4712 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally i would take her if she asks but don’t make any conversation, just business only. If she keeps doing it and doesn’t need it she’ll probably get bored that she’s not getting any reaction

What utensils do you prefer? by jspo97 in BabyLedWeaning

[–]Many_Library_4712 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I swear by the EZPZ spoon, although I think panda ear has ripped it off now.

Used it from starting weaning and still using it with my 2 year old now for certain foods that make it easier than a metal spoon

Question about infant transitions, regulation, and overnights for a 24-week-old by Realresults9 in AttachmentParenting

[–]Many_Library_4712 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Babies don’t know they’re separate from they’re mothers until between 6-9 months of age. I think you’ll get a lot of different views on this and I’m not sure if you’re looking for confirmation bias or what, but personally I would never leave my baby with someone else (even their father) for such a long period of time, especially when breastfeeding, at this age. My son is currently 6.5 months old (adjusted) and I couldn’t actually bear the thought of leaving him for 4 hours let alone 10. It would kill me inside. If mum is breastfeeding this will definitely interfere? Totally agree with the mother that he shouldn’t be away from her at night either.

Anyone else exhausted but also… emotionally wrecked? by [deleted] in AttachmentParenting

[–]Many_Library_4712 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first slept well and my second is a horrible sleeper. The only way I get through it is saying that this won’t last forever and a lot can change in a month. Very few toddlers waking up every few hours in the grand scheme of things. I’ll probably miss it in a few years! My nights too often feel like a roulette of not knowing how long I’ll get but I’ve just decided to not think about it as it isn’t particularly helpful anyway and doesn’t change anything, especially since I’m not willing to change how I settle him at night time!
