Hi all My 15 week old son won’t nap but once we are hitting afternoon he is wailing like a whinge non stop not proper crying and rubbing face but won’t sleep ? This only started in last few days Also now waking twice at night when he did sleep through Is this the sleep regression ? Thank you x

My LG naps with her comforter and does really well but I am watching her on the monitor. I’m cautious about allowing her it at night as all the safe sleep advice etc warns against it. Is anyone allowing their LO to sleep at night with a comforter or teddy?

My little girl is 6 weeks coming up 7 on Thursday and she sleeps amazing in the night, wakes up for feeds and goes back down so nicely after with little to no fuss, buttt in the day she literally won’t nap it’s almost as if shes fighting it, anyone else? Idk what else to do, I feed, change, and play then try putting...

My LO is 9 days old and often makes noises like this in her sleep. It’s not all the time but it’s a lot and keeps me awake worrying. We have our 10 day midwife appointment tomorrow so I’ll mention it then… I know newborns make noises but I can’t help but worry (hormones I imagine)

I am feeling angry and frustrated with my 13 month old. I have a feeling I'm not the only one feeling frustrated with their 1 year old just fighting a nap or just straight up. Keep messing about when it is supposed to be a nap tine. I thought they already had that "sleep regression" but I guess it can happen when...

Do you co-sleep with your baby? I read that co-sleeping is a cultural preference. I know most medical professionals (🇺🇲) advise against it. What are your thoughts?

How often does your baby wake up at night?? I need to feed my girl twice 🙃 would like if she slept through the night, which she does every now and then. Any recommendations?

My soon to be 4 month old will only nap on me all of a sudden. I’ve tried everything. Every time I put her down she wakes up and then wants to go through the cycle of nursing to sleep again, so it’s just easier to let her nap on me, but I don’t eat or get anything done. Help!

Do you always lay your baby on his/her back? Or do you combine it with sleeping on their tummy?

I took my daughter to the dentist for the first time today. She is 2.5 years old. They told me she had a slight overbite due to her using a dummy (at night time only). Any advice on how I can wean her off the dummy 🫣 or do I just get rid of it completely??

We have a formula fed 9 week old, and are waking her up at 1-2am for her middle of the night feed after putting her down around 9pm. I’m thinking about seeing how long she can go without waking her. Wondering what your experiences have been?

I’m trying to get my baby to sleep in his crib for nap times. We will continue to co sleep at night though! Has anyone tried the Ferber method for sleep training? I feel bad for even considering this, but I need my baby to start sleeping in his crib more. Don’t get me wrong, I loooove his snuggles when he’s nappin...

Hi all, My daughter tends to not nap much anymore, when she does she will go to bed around 7:30/8:30 but when she doesn’t nap she’s ready around 5/5:30pm. So one day I decided to try it to see if it worked and it did! She slept from about 5:15-8! And we’ve done it a few times now when she’s been really tired, what...

Anyone's little one down to just one nap? Ours has been fighting both of his naps for the last couple weeks but still sleeps through. He is cutting another tooth, but each time before he was also having terrible night sleep. What do your current routines look like? How are you fitting in a midday nap plus lunch?

My baby is 10 months, she gets up multiple times at night. I am so sleep deprived but have always struggled to nap in the day even when i try which is so exhausting, I think the anxiety of the never ending to do list stops me from sleeping (prepping 3 meals a day for baby, cooking for me and husband and all the othe...

Is there a sleep regression at 11/12 months?

Hey Mamas. My little boy is 1yo and fighting his second nap the last 3/4 days! Taking his dummy out and throwing it as soon as we enter his room and will do this over and over. 🤣 He sleeps through the night mostly so could it be he’s ready to drop it? Anyone else having this? Xxx

Do any of you co sleeping toddlers sleep through the night?

My 7 month old has recently started resisting naps and hard to put down for bed. We aren’t on a specific schedule with naps, we just follow his cues. Once we see the sleepy signs we take him to his room, give him a bottle, rock him etc., but it takes forever to get him to calm down and sleep. He’s a great nighttime ...

My baby is around 15 weeks and wondered are you putting baby down to sleep upstairs in there own cot/next2me on an evening and then heading downstairs until you are ready for bed or does baby stay downstairs with you until you are ready to head up?
