Wetting through

My 19month old is wetting through her nappies through the night! She never used to it would hardly be wet before but last month I’m constantly washing her sheets daily. She was using pampers number 5/6 pull ups but because she was wetting through I was told to try a cheaper brand as they might even be better so went...

Crib training

Hey mommas! My LO is 6 months as of today! I wanted to see what your experiences with crib training so far have been like? Mine has slept in the bassinet attached to my side of the bed since birth and I still can’t imagine moving her to her own room. Have any of you made the switch yet and how did it go?? Pic for tax…

Space saving cots

Bub is only 4w but I’m already planning for when she grows out of her next to me - has anyone got any recommendations for a space saving cot? Not got a lot of space to work with unfortunately! Thanks!

Sleep Sack to Blanket Transition

How and when did you transition your baby to a blanket? I've been feeling anxious about doing the transition. My LO is 14 months and is growing out of his sleep sack. I don't want to have to buy more, but I'm so scared to let him go a whole night with only a blanket. I've done a couple of naps with a blanket, but he...

Sleep

I just have no one to tell who would care but my 16 month old is finally sleeping in her own bed with 1/2 wake ups a night. This is just life changing, for 16 months we’ve had wake ups most nights every two hours or less, we’ve slept in the same bed together and my partner has been sleeping in a different room. We’v...

Started waking for a feed again?

My LG slept through the night very early on (from about 10 weeks) and did so consistently until we hit the four month regression. Even then, she would go back down with a dummy. She is now almost six months and has started waking after 5 hours and not going back down unless she has a feed, when I do feed her she gul...

Major separation anxiety

I’m waving my white flag looking for some help at bedtime… My little one has always been fine at bedtime, we have a routine and after bottle and stories he would go to sleep on his own without me in the room. The last 4 weeks this has changed and he is needing me to be by his side at bedtime and having multiple wa...

How did you wean off the dummy?

My little girl has had such a blocked nose this week that I’ve had no choice but to go cold turkey on the dummy as she’s been able to suck it no matter what I’ve done to unblock her nose. So I’ve decided that this is the time to get rid of the dummy as we were planning to soon anyway. I’m back to rocking her to sle...

Sick and tired of contact naps?!

How do I stop contact naps I'm at the end of my tether now 😬 she will easily do a 2 or 3 hour contact nap but in the bed it's 20 to 30 minutes and to get it to go further I have to stay in the bedroom with her. I honestly have no time to do anything the house is a mess we have barely any clothes because the laundry…

If your babies are napping, how long for?

Wondering whether we need to shorten our nap as night sleep has gone shocking, but he definitely still needs a decent length or he's so grumpy

Transition to 0 nap

Hi everyone my little one has been refusing her nap so I’ve been letting her stay up and sleep earlier for bedtime. First night she was overtired and woke up crying few times and 2nd night she did the same. Although she is having 12 hours of sleep overall I don’t understand why she keeps waking up crying from overti...

Pillow and duvet

I have read many posts about LOs now having a pillow /a pillow and duvet. My lo moves so much in the night, she literally ends up at the top of the bed and sometimes rotates 180 degrees. I keep thinking it might not be safe for a pillow duvet, am I being too cautious?
