Does anyone else’s little one have a very active startle reflex? My son finds it very difficult to stay asleep because he constantly wakes up due to the reflex. I’m still swaddling him at 17 weeks, but I’m trying to wean him off it but he keeps startling. Any advice?

Why has my 14 MO just started waking at random points in the night and stays wide awake like it’s time to get up? I literally have to sit there with him because he will not go back down. I’ve tried everything absolutely everything. Sunday night he was awake 3am-5am and tonight he has been awake since 10pm?!

Anyone's December baby having sleep issues? Every night between 1am and 2am for the past 2 weeks my LO has woken up screaming. I havent slept a full night in 2 weeks and in my own bed and I'm slowly going out of my mind! Any one in the same boat, or have any tips/tricks they can share? Thanks

So my little one is a month old and used to drink like 3oz when she would wake in the night. Now she will wake for food and then only have about an oz of it and then go back to sleep? Anyone else’s little one the same? 🫠

Please help a tired and sleep deprived mom. Why is my LO doing this?! It has been like this for 1 week. She used to sleep longer and wakes up for feed every 4 hours. She is EBF.

It’s only 1am and we’ve been up about 5 times already!! Baby will settle on my chest and the second I put him in his crib he is wide awake again. I’ve even tried to cosleep as I’m exhausted but he won’t even have that he wants to be held. I thought we was out the other end of the sleep regression as we have recently...

Hi all! Looking for some advice on how to transition from contact naps to cot naps? My LO is 5.5 months old - if we try to cot nap during the day, he will wake up after 20-30 minutes on the dot. Nighttime is great, he goes in his cot either dead asleep or drowsy and puts himself to sleep and sleeps all night. A...

My 5 week old hates our bedroom she is calm everywhere else in the house and can sleep fine but when we come into our room she can’t calm down and is constantly crying. I’ve taken into account about the temperature and lighting and made it as similar as possible but nothing seems to be working. Anyone else have this...

My little girl was born a week ago and apart from the night we spent in hospital we've not been able to get her to sleep in the next to me at all. I know it's pretty normal for really young babies to just want to be held but I'm getting to the point now where I really need some sleep 😴 Anyone whose babies are…

Hi I guess I’m just looking for any possible tips or tricks… my baby is 3 weeks old and the past couple of nights she just isn’t settling at all, she just cries and if she’s not crying she’s just lay wide awake fussing and wants a feed constantly…. Does anyone have any tips or tricks to get her settled? I’m currentl...

is kicking and tossing and turning, struggling to fall back asleep for ages. Does anyone have any tips please ?

Any ideas? This is the only consistent wake up! After that she might sleep til 4/5/6/7am… Hard as this is usually when Im just falling asleep.. Sometimes shes cries and other times she doesnt, seems so random! I have to rock her back to sleep and then she does a better stretch

Hi again 😅 So my son still drinks milk (like 8+oz) before bed every night….. like in his crib with his sippy cup is the only one on God’s greeeeenn earth he is going to sleep. I know I have to stop this. What do I do!? He picks his leg up like me 😂😂😂

Usually she would either cry for us or be playing and having a party, she is just sitting there quietly like she’s waiting for a bus, like are you okay hun??

When do you think it's safe to use two pillows for my girl? I feel like she must be so uncomfortable with just the one flat one

Hiya! I need some advice from some mums.. my LO is just over 3 months and is wriggling all the way up his next to me through the night, to the point his head is touching the top. He’s quite tall as it is so he’s not much room in the next to me anymore… it’s only over the last week or so he’s been doing this? Do I ...

My girl is nearly 11 months and she is ebf. She feeds to sleep every night and wakes every hour. I am starting to struggle a little now with the tiredness. I am completely against sleep training but I just want to see if anyone had any ideas to help which will not cause any upset to my baby? How do I get her to slee...

Anyone still feeding their LO in the night? Is it a whole bottle? If my girl wakes up I’m still giving her a whole 7oz bottle that she drinks all of and usually will go back down until 7:30. I know they say at 12 months you should just try and settle without feeding but can’t see that happening any time soon 😂

I can’t remember when my 6 year old gave up the dummy. Maybe 2-3, I remember a dummy fairy book and replacing the dummy with a gift though so a lot older than my 14 month old. 14 month old is driving me mad with her awful habit of throwing the dummy and thinking it’s funny at bed time though so I’m debating giving ...
