My baby is 5 months and is the definition of a Velcro baby! Won’t nap in his pram, in his moses basket, in the car etc - never has so we have only ever contact napped. We also cosleep which is fine as it’s the only way we’ll survive but I’d like to be able to put him to bed and just have an hour downstairs to get jo...

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...

Is it longer or shorter than the morning wake window (for LO’s on 1 nap) and do they sleep through the night?

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 ...

Anyone found a way to ease restless legs? Its a pregnancy symptom for me but I'm really struggling!

Looking for advice on how to tackle my little girls bed time. She is an absolute nightmare to get to sleep at night, unless shes fallen asleep in the car, we can NEVER get her to go to bed, even after a bath, story etc. She cries so much she is inconsolable and so so overtired. She shows signs of being ready for be...

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...

My little girls urine has a really strong ammonia smell today. She isn’t dehydrated as she’s been drinking normally and lots of wet nappies. Haven’t changed brand of nappies either! Has anyone experienced this and have any advice please? x

Bubs has outgrown the Moses basket and it’s just broken so looking for the next alternative to naps. He pretty much contact naps anyway but will sleep for 30 mins in the Moses basket.

I had too many sleepless nights and made the decision to co sleep. It’s been 3 weeks of this now and I’m regretting it. He will no longer sleep alone. How to i undo this and get him to sleep in his basinet again 😭

So my baby gets fussy in the night and doesn’t like being in his cot and will only settle on me. I’m really struggling to stay awake and catch myself almost nodding off with him in my arms and it terrifies me. I end up having to just put him in his cot and just hope that he falls asleep in there with me just comfort...

My baby girls 11 weeks tomorrow and I feel like life’s suddenly turned upside down! A few weeks ago I knew when she’d fall asleep, when she’d want fed, how long she’d sleep at night and it feels like overnight I don’t have a clue what her routine is anymore! She’s fussy, I can’t get her to nap longer than 20 mins an...

anyone else in the sleep regression trenches 😭

Does anyone actually sleep in the day at all to catch up on some sleep? Everyone always telling me to sleep when the baby sleeps but that’s when I do the things I can’t do when I’m attending to her or that’s when I sit down for a bit to eat or whatever so I can’t ever nap in the day even though I’m only getting abou...

Anyone else all of a sudden having sleep issues? My son only just started sleeping through the night at 13 months. Now the past two weeks he’s been up every night at 1 AM and after rocking him to sleep and putting him back in the crib, he immediately wakes back up. He’ll fall right asleep as soon as we bring him int...
