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 ...

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...

Feed in the night

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 😂

Giving up the dummy already??

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 ...

12-week old sleeping 9:30pm to 7am with no feeds?

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...

Co sleeping & BF through the night at 7 months - am I alone ???

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...

Bedtime

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?
