I love the contact naps but sometimes I would also love to be able to get things done around the house and put him down to sleep! It often takes 20+ minutes of rocking him to get him to sleep and then I try to put him in his bassinet, lounger, mamaroo (all supervised of course) and he wakes up shortly after and crie...

Hi moms, For the past week my baby has been sleeping through the night but the past two days she’s been waking up at 4am. She then only wants to sleep in our arms, not the crib. She’s going to bed around 8pm. Does anybody have any advice on how to help her sleep through the night again? Thanks!

3yo is still in her cot bed with the side off but we need to transition to her ‘big girl room’ before it becomes obvious we’re doing it because number 2 is on the way 🫣 I’m thinking a small double because we do a lot of co sleeping but where has everyone looked/purchased from? I’m asking a lot from a bed I think…

My almost 11 month old has been up almost all night screaming at the top of his lungs. The first time I couldn’t calm him down and had to lay him next to me in bed and he eventually went back to bed. He woke up around 3 and wanted to play. I shut that down quick. He just woke up again (5 am) screaming until I put hi...

I don’t know what to do anymore. My little girl has more teeth coming through, but further back in her mouth. My god it’s awful. None of us are sleeping. We’ve tried calpol and teething gel. But she will not sleep. We are losing our mind. Any tips? But also, it’s completely messed up her sleep and nap (which was goi...

I am currently trying to transition my baby to two naps. Has anyone else had an issue where their baby treats bed time as the third nap? She goes down at 7 but wakes at 10 wide awake wanting to play. Any advice how to crack this!

Is it true that babies will eventually stop pooping at night. I think my girl has reached that strange and it’s so much better because now I can just nurse her, pump and sleep. She used to keep waking up in the change table lol

So I have a 9 week old baby and she has never settled herself to have a nap. She always has to be patted/rocked to sleep and then I try to transfer her to her Moses basket for the nap. I’m just wondering when I should start putting her down awake in her basket and seeing if she will settle? Or if I should have done ...

My little girl has been doing split nights for what seems like forever and the sleep deprivation is killing me. I have no idea how to fix things. She has been a crap sleeper since the get go but split nights are just draining me! At home she will do 2 naps, 1 is an hour and one is half an hour ( I can't extend the n...

I start between 8-8:30 every night, and she falls asleep normally around 9 every night, with the exception of growth spurts etc. She wakes every 2-3 hours until 5:30-7am (been getting earlier lately. She’s exclusively BF as she ain’t take a bottle, even with breast milk. So I’ve been told she may wake up a lot due t...

I'm finding this time the hardest so far. My little girl was playing happily both independently and with me for ages and now suddenly she's super clingy. Whenever I leave the room for even a few seconds she runs after me and cries pulling at my legs and independent play is non-existent now. Even playing together she...

My LB is 16 months and never been a great sleeper, but the last couple of months has got worse. His nap and bedtime routine seem to be right with guidance, he doesn’t fight them. It’s just night time sleep. He goes down around 7 and can be back awake at 10/11/12, wanting milk, then he used to go back down in the cot...

Anyone else's 8 month old waking hourly all of a sudden at night?

Has anybody struggled with insomnia and can't switch off even when baby is sleeping. I can't sleep at night and with baby napping less in the day, I am officially unable to 'sleep when baby sleeps'. My partner drives alot for work so I hate having to wake him up to help me with the night feeds as I feel as though th...

Guys what do you think https://www.instagram.com/reel/DBRPeB_uFpQ/?igsh=c2ZyMTFnOWphN284

My baby has been having bad nights for at least 3 weeks (hourly wake ups, sometimes less) up to 10 times a night. On good nights we get a 2 hr stretch so she we usually manage to get her 9-10 hours at 'bedtime' even if it's broken up. Last night she only slept 5.5 hours in total in 30 minute stints, and was impossi...

My 3 and a half week old has started to be a lot louder during night sleeps with grunting/moving around etc in the last few nights. He doesn’t do it as much during the day or if napping on me at night but when he’s in his Moses basket he’s so loud at times. Is this normal? Just worried why the loudness has increased.

This is night 2 back home in my flat with my 4 week old and she barely slept or at least not like she did when I was at my parents home the first 3.5 weeks. Is this normal for a newborn when you move places? I’m really worried with the lessened sleep. She was extremely fussy yesterday during her night naps too. She...

Just wondered if anyone else is experiencing the same thing. My 8 month old use to always self settle to sleep on his own but since he has started pulling himself up in the cot to stand (he can’t get back down) he will no longer self settle. As soon as I put him down he pulls himself up and stands up in the cot cryi...

When do our little ones start noticing routine? We follow a routine every day, but of course our LO doesn’t know that. We just aim to go upstairs, dim lights, projector, bottle & cuddles and put her down in nxt2me to settle. (Every other night is bath) We have been lucky that she will lay down and after 20mins som...
