Yoto or Tonie?

I’m so torn between the yoto and the tonie box. The tonie looks more child friendly to me, but the Yoto looks like it will last for years. Wanting to get one for my two littles for Christmas, does anyone have either? Is one better than the other? Pros of one over the other? Thank you!!!

Does this stage get easier? Everything is a fight!

Fight to get nappy changed, fight to brush teeth, fight to get into car seat, fight to get face washed, fight to sit still for 2 mins to get dressed, I am knackered!!! I guess I didnt expect it to be so hard once they got a bit older, or to still be so sleep deprived 😭 I feel so guilty as Im losing my patience

Toddler sleep clocks

I was just curious how many people have used or tried these? I have a 2 year old that has been having a lot of early wake ups and was considering trying one. I have an older child that never needed one of these. So, I wanted to get some feedback before trying one.

Calpol

My daughter spent the last hour screaming and would hardly settle, definitely wouldn't nap. I wondered if she was teething as she has been drooling excessively and having very mucus poo all week. I tried her with calpol and she was asleep within 10 minutes, does that mean that she must have been in some discomfort...

Bad Napper

Hey all. My 8.5 month old has been sleeping consistently through the night since about 5ish months old (when we did TCB sleep training). I’m so grateful that she sleeps well overnight! However her naps during the day are abysmal. We did TCB nap training about two weeks before she started daycare at six months and sh...

9 month old sleep regression?

Hey my son has basically given up sleeping unless he’s attached to my boob! Does anyone have any ideas on how I can kinda wean him off me again. He’s never been a great sleeper but atm from 12am till 6am it’s every hour! He has always co slept and we’ve now got him in his own room as we worried we were disturbing h...

Cot naps during or after regression?

My little one naps well (but only for 30-45 minutes!) in his next to me and has done for a number of weeks now. He’s almost 4 months and to aid transition to his cot at 6 months I was thinking of starting putting him down for naps in his cot - thoughts? Should I wait until we are through the regression?

Travel sleep recommendations for toddlers?

We will be travelling with 16 month old twins soon and I am having a very hard time finding travel cribs/pack n plays that have a recommended weight above 25 pounds (my littles are about 27 pounds) and I want something that I can use until they’re at least 2. Co sleeping isn’t an option because when we’ve tried it...

Sleep help!!

So my son was recently transitioned from the crib to a toddler bed due to needing it for my youngest. When he was sleeping in the crib all i had to do was give him his blanket and a bottle of water and he would fall asleep on his own but since being switched to his toddler bed we fight every night getting him to sle...

Rocking to sleep

Hey moms, Been a few days that suddenly my 3 month old fusses and cries everytime we rock him to sleep/nap…every single time. Takes me forever to make him fall asleep. Tried to rock him to sleep a little earlier but it just frustrates him. The only thing that seems to work is turning on the water faucet (only thing ...

Naps

Has anyone else’s toddler stopped napping? I know 20 months is supposedly too early to stop but my son has been fighting his one nap for the past 3 weeks, he hates it and I don’t blame him, he never seems tired. We’ve tried pushing his nap back, waking up earlier but he just seems completely over it. He hasn’t nappe...

So lost on sleep

If baby is waking multiple times in night, difficult after 230 to put back down, then waking early (430-530) & fighting naps in the day is it best to move bedtime back & get an extra nap in or move bedtime forward? I know I’m doing something wrong and feel for her but I don’t know what to do!

Sleep regression

Is there a 13 months sleep regression or should I be adjusting naps? Baby slept 7.30-6.30 but has for the last week been waking between 3am - 5am. This morning it was 4am and didn’t settle for an hour, we are so tired as both working ! Any tips welcome 🙏🏻

Cot confusion

Hi all, Sorry this is probably really stupid but I've got myself in a right flap with it. When we went looking for nursery furniture we were told that no-one really makes drop down side cots now due to safety concerns. So we bought one without, but my mum has sent me a link to some with the feature. My husband thin...

My son is 6 months and 2 weeks, and during the day he just has cat naps, it’s like he has an alarm set and wakes up after 30 minutes.. he goes for a nap every couple of hours, I’ve tried to go for longer thinking he will be really tired and will sleep for longer - nope, 3...
