What is/was bedtime for your baby at 12 weeks?

My LO is fussy in the evening now so I think she needs to go to sleep earlier? At the moment we put her down at 10/:30/11pm and she does sleep through. If I make it earlier she might change? Not sure what to do?

1 year old not sleeping through

My baby just turned 1 at the start of the month and it seems since then she suddenly won’t sleep through the night. She used to sleep from about 7-6 but now she wakes up between 1 & 4am & then is up for up to 2 hours some night. She struggles to fall back to sleep and with starting back fulltime work I’ve started to...

Feeling awful

So there’s a lot going on lately and I’m feeling awful. First thing is I saw a Dr today who said I have a moderate prolapse after having my baby. I said I had one right at the start, no-one believed me but here we are. Feeling quite down about that. We decided that I’d complete my family first and then see what ca...

How firm are you at bedtime?

It’s safe to say that the 3 year regression has hit hard and I am at the end of my tether with it. Well done to those of you that are able to leave yours to go to sleep by themselves (seriously seems like magic to me) but I have to be in the room until he falls asleep. So now that that’s taking almost two hours I ...

Newborn sleep anxiety

Our little one is 11 days old and the sleep anxiety is really getting to me! He sleeps relatively well in his crib, and can sometimes do a 2/3 hour stretch, but I spend half the time he’s asleep checking on him and worrying about him! I’m either tired because he didn’t sleep great, or tired because he’s sleeping too...
