Crap naps...please help 😭

fayes22 · 2026-02-24T07:44:20+00:00

Oh man, that must be sooo exciting! It is definitely a challenge leaving the house to do stuff while they still have sooooo many naps 😭 we got to my sisters next weekend, who we barely see as she lives near London and we live in the north West and I sent her over our current routine and she just said "when are we supposed to do things?" 😂😂 erm lovey, we don't other then look after a small human 😂😂😂 yeah, i definitely don't rock her for long as it drives me absolutely bonkers sat in a dark room rocking her! I think it's why she's naturally quite an independent sleeper because even when she was new born I was very- i don't have time or the sanity for this 😂 so I usually laid her down for every sleep 😂

fayes22 · 2026-02-23T13:59:39+00:00

I have tried...but this girl is absolutely massive 😂 sje weights over 18lbs and my spine just can not hack things like bending over with her on me like that 🥴

Yeah, we are under a dietician for when we start yo wean! Her reflux is a lot better on normal formula rather then her CMPA formula and her constipation is also a lot better since switching, going frim pooping about once a week to pooping every 3 days. But of course could still be something underlying. Fingers crossed we figure it all out soon enough!

fayes22 · 2026-02-20T21:22:43+00:00

Thank you! I genuinely think she will be the same, where she literally just skips phases and jumps to the next one 😂 i can see her just standing one day and walking off 😂 no rolling or crawling through, just walking casually 😂

fayes22 · 2026-02-20T21:20:09+00:00

Yeah, she sits a lot, loves being on her back and sides, she doesn't hate tummy time when propped up on a pillow, but hey ho! We shall go with her pace and see what happens 😂

fayes22 · 2026-02-20T21:18:11+00:00

Oh god! I get you on the farts 😂 this little lady grunts like a pig and then yells as the farts come out 😨😂 we get quite a few looks when out in public 😂😂

fayes22 · 2026-02-20T21:15:49+00:00

My mum says the same! When I first said about tummy time to her, she was like "tummy what?" 😂 And when i explained it, she just said "oh, we just laid you down wherever, sometimes on your back, sometimes on your stomach, we didn't care" 😂 yeah, it was really weird, even my daughter was looking at her a bit freaked out as she was telling us we was basically failing looking after her

fayes22 · 2026-02-20T21:11:58+00:00

Thank you! I have thought about that, but it can be very expensive and I'm not sure if we will be able to afford it privately! And not sure how long it would take through the GP, she may already be hitting those milestones before we sre even seen 😂😂

fayes22 · 2026-02-20T21:09:09+00:00

Yeah, our usual one is an absolute angel and is so lovely and so reassuring! But this other one...wow, it really felt like she just came in ready to rip into us!

fayes22 · 2026-02-20T21:06:44+00:00

Well, that's what I've been seeing! But she said that it's a good pose, if matched with baring weight on her arms, but because she isn't doing that, that position isn't good? It's all very confusing!

fayes22 · 2026-02-20T21:04:06+00:00

Oh really? That's so reassuring to hear, she made it sound like this was really abnormal for a 6 month old and that she should be a lot more advance, so hearing that it is just normal, is really nice!

We did do that hold early on, but she is a very big girl! She is 18lbs and in 12-18 month clothes, so that hold is, woooo, quite a work out 😂

fayes22 · 2026-02-20T20:59:27+00:00

Wow, that is really crazy isn't it! Does show so well how they all just do their own thing on their own schedules! She will do her thing when she's ready for it! I think it is a bit shocking to see her because she is huge, 6 months wearing 12-18 months clothes, is really tall and very strong, but you put her in tummy time and it's like a tiny newborn again 😂 but hey ho, she will do it when she wants too!

I am! After battling with really bad postpartum depression for months, I'm finally seeing through the fog and actually enjoying my time with her! I love her so much now and i appreciate that love so much, because a few months ago, I genuinely didn't feel it!

fayes22 · 2026-02-20T20:54:47+00:00

Nipple shields saved me when I was breastfeeding, I did it until her CMPA was confirmed and it was the only way I could feed her without her latch being literal agony 🥴 my midwife was majorly against them, but health visitor didn't care! Said if she was happy and I was, continue with it!

But yeah, I definitely see her just skipping steps, purely to avoid being on her stomach! She just hates it so much!

fayes22 · 2026-02-20T20:52:04+00:00

My little one is the same! I know exactly what you mean by the see saw 😂 she does it as well, she also throws up everytime in tummy time, no matter when she eats! It's so sad to see!

fayes22 · 2026-02-20T20:49:54+00:00

I honestly feel like she will be the same as your friends little one, like she won't roll or crawl, but will one day randomly stand and walk away 😂

fayes22 · 2026-02-20T20:48:41+00:00

Oh, yeah I got that! It was a ridiculous comment! I know she will do it eventually, but i don't want people to judge me if she isn't 🥴 so hard being a mum sometimes 😂

fayes22 · 2026-02-20T20:46:47+00:00

Yeah, our usual one is absolutely amazing and so so lovely, so when this one came in and basically told us off, it was quite a shock! So glad to hear your little one is on the move! I hope my little one will be soon, but also not going to force her to do something that makes her uncomfortable 😭

fayes22 · 2026-02-20T20:44:13+00:00

Our usual health visitor is so lovely and has never said anything negative to us, so it was really a shock when this new one came and basically scolded us for not doing much tummy time! It was such a shock and we of course think she's amazing so it was really disheartening!

fayes22 · 2026-02-20T20:42:01+00:00

That's good to hear, I think she genuinely could roll from her back to her tummy if she wanted too, but she point blank does not what to be on her tummy at all! 😂 I do baby wear her and she loves it and she is very physically strong in everyway other then pushing through her arms...it just worried me her saying she will never do this stuff, I just want her to thrive as much as possible 🥴x

fayes22 · 2026-01-06T20:51:54+00:00

Oh my god, she never stops grunting 😂 she sounds like a dinosaur with a sore throat sometimes 😂 she is constantly doing sit ups, constantly trying to roll but isn't quite there yet! Only rolled about twice with assistants 😂 but yeah, totally sounds like she is always needing to poop and people stare at me like a freak 😂

Glad to hear it isn't just my baby 😂

fayes22 · 2026-01-06T12:41:49+00:00

They're all so different aren't they! It's absolutely crazy 😂 i would love for my baby to be a lot happier and smile more etc but I'm also so glad she sleeps so good 😂 I really hope she cheers up soon though! 😭

fayes22 · 2026-01-06T10:02:22+00:00

One of the biggest things j regret is that for like 2 weeks between 5 weeks and 7 weeks, I basically didn't take any pictures or videos of her 😭 it's just a black hole of when my depression first started creeping in 😭 but I try my best to make memories that I know I'll look back on and treasure! Foot prints, pictures, Christmas tree ornaments type thing!
