Community Posts, Tips & Support on Baby Sleep

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 ...

Anyone else struggling a lot recently? Little man is going through a 10/20 minute nap stage, gets bored easy, doesn’t want to be out of my sight, makes very loud screeching noises constantly. He is a very happy boy but I feel myself looking forward to bedtime.. Then I feel guilty for being relieved he is asleep an...

I’m really pleased that we’re all getting some good chunks of sleep, but is this normal?! He’s having a final feed around 9, will fight sleep for a while but once he’s gone, he’s gone. It’s been four nights now of no waking to feed. I didn’t expect this for a very long time. Has anyone else experienced this? I do no...

Baby will be in what seems like a deep sleep but every time I put him down he wakes up crying and as soon as I hold him he falls back asleep. It’s taking so long to put him down so Im not getting much time to myself in the evening or time with hubby before going tl bed/his next feed. Anyone else? Any tips ?

Any tips on how to get my little one to stop waking himself up in active sleep, he’s exhausted bless him but keeps waking himself up 😅🤦🏼‍♀️ Some nights he’s not so bad, others like tonight I’ve had to go up to get him back to sleep 3 times as he’s woke himself up in active sleep 🙈 and it’s mainly his arms. We…

Hello just looking for some reassurance really! My LO starts off in the cot usually does anywhere from 1-3hrs but then wakes and the only way to get her back to sleep is to breastfeed. This can be as frequently as every 1-2hrs through the night. Because of this I tend to bring her into the bed with me as it’s too ex...

My little one has started pointing under her bed as though there’s something there (there isn’t). Some nights she wakes up a few times shouting as she thinks there’s something under her bed, anyone experienced this? Is it a normal phase?

Not sure what to do about LO’s bedtime with the clocks changing??? Usually has an 8pm bedtime, what to do?

We are 6 weeks into this, the last 5 weeks, she’d wake every 2 hours have a bottle go to sleep then the last waking early hours it’s a whole wake window of wanting to play, this last week both wakings are being whole wake windows! She used to sleep through and re settle herself but I’m so overwhelmed if this will e...

Hello this isn’t about making friends but I need advice! My 3 month old baby boy seems to leak through every night, what can I do to help prevent this?? Any suggestions appreciated. I change him when he wakes but don’t want to disturb him and myself more! He’s usually in a size 2 nappy I tried sizing up last night ...
