Conflicted with vegetarianism and weaning

I'm veggie, have been ~4 years now. My beautiful son is now eating solids and i find myself feeling like i should be eating everything he does so he can make his own decisions as he gets older and see me model things so he can learn. This would involve reintroducing meat to my diet.

I'm conflicted because i would rather not, but something in me says this is important and it would be the right thing for my son so i can share everything with him

I also don't want him to learn "mummy doesn't eat X so i don't have to eat Y"

Anyone else been in this boat?

Nights are so hideous lately, please help

The last time it didn't look like this was rhe beginning of
April and i am tired. Total daily sleep average is 10;5-11.5 hours which is very low sleep needs. Is this biologically normal for him or am i doing something wrong?

He's 8 months old, ssnsitive, i think very smart, has just cracked sitting. He seems to nap fine ok in my arms or cuddled on the bed but crib naps are 12-24 minuutes long. He sleeps in a crib at night next to me cause co sleeping wouldn't be a safe option for me as much as I'd love to due to how i sleep.

Sorry for typis i have de quarvains which is kicking off anx ita 4:17am and I'm typing wifhout my glasses too with him sleeping cradled in my arms before i try and transfer him again. Wish me luck.

Those with 8 month olds with averages similar to this, what are your wake windows?

I'm interested to see how long your little ones are going between naps

Any contact nappers NOT napping chest to chest?

I have recently discovered my baby will sleep in my arms or occasionally on my chest but with his back against me

He refused chest to chest contact naps at 4 months but now at 8 months I've realised he is still a contact napper but in his own way

He has awful naps and this is the only way I cam improve them but he is 20lbs and SO HEAVY

Anyone else out there like us? Are there tips for making this more comfortable?

I really feel like if I can find a comfortable way to cuddle him for nap 1 to consistently extend it then we'd be in a lot better stead as we currently have between 4 and 9 wake ups a night and I firmly believe it's because his naps are all over the place
