My baby is not following usual wake windows of 2.5-3 hours appropriate for age. She is staying awake for hours fighting her nap. What do I do?

My LO is 14 weeks and I think she’s hitting that first sleep regression. She won’t nap unless it’s on me even though I’ve tried a nap routine and started it as soon as she gives me sleepy cues. She just screams on me till she falls asleep. If I try to put her down when she is content but drowsy she will scream. It’s...

What’s one thing(s) you do at night to help you make morning routine smooth when having to get kids ready?

Losing my mind, my almost 15m old, is screaming at night waking every hour, I don’t know if she’s teething she has two poking through, and she’s just recovered from the flu. I don’t understand shes never been a good sleeper but this is something else. I honestly feel triggered by these screams.

How many naps are your little ones having and how long are they? Do you cap them and wake them up? I'm starting to wonder if our little ones early wake ups in the morning are due to too much sleep in the day...

Has anyone gone from breastfeeding to sleep / contact naps and successfully transitioned to putting baby down for naps when they're awake? Our little one is still EBF and at night she sleeps through which is great. During the day so far all of her naps are basically her feeding then falling asleep in my arms and th...

My LO is 3 months today and it's a real struggle to get him to sleep at night. We normally keep him downstairs with us until we go up but he seems to want to stay awake or have contact sleep until we go to bed. We have a monitor but not yet started using it. Has anyone set up a monitor near a next to me crib and sta...

I used a dummy to sleep train my baby, however sometimes when he wakes up in the night the only way I can quickly make him go back to sleep is by putting the dummy back in his mouth! I’m worried about this in the long run and that he’ll wake up because the dummy isn’t in his mouth! I wanted to move him to his own ro...

Has anyone managed to figure out what to do with leaking nappies? 5-6 nights out of 7 my baby wakes up soaked through. He wakes twice a night still for milk. I have 2 older children and I never ever had this problem with nappies. I have to change his bedding etc nearly every morning and it’s becoming ridiculous n...

My 4month old never took a dummy infact I never really actively tried her with one as personally I didn't want her to have it. (Not against others using them btw) But this past few days she's found her thumb and is constantly sucking it. Now I'm conflicted. Do I give her a dummy or let her do her own thing? I don't ...

Is it normal newborn baby slept 7 hours straight through the night and did not wake up to be fed ?

Mine gets up 8-9am and goes to bed 8pm

Help! My little boy still drinks so much at night. He has 3 bottles of 7oz overnight and will not settle without it. We have watered them all down so they are now at 1oz milk 6oz water but as soon as we change to just water he just screams and screams! Any tips apart from CIO ? He currently sleeps 7-11 with no wa...

Idk who needs to hear this, but if you have a stomach sleeper I have an idea for you to try… Put them down on their stomach in the bassinet, then after a minute or two, roll them SLOWLY onto their backs! My daughter would ONLY sleep on her stomach and wake up shortly after we put her down all night long 🥴, but…

Any September babies sleeping through the night yet? My son is 5 weeks old with no signs of night feeds reducing anytime soon, if anything he’s actually feeding more frequently 😂 My firstborn was sleeping through 10pm until 7am by 8 weeks old 🙈

I know shorter naps are developmentally appropriate right now, but if your LO wakes up after 30 minutes (unhappy and clearly still tired), do you try and resettle them? And if you do, does it normally work and get them back to sleep?

My three week old son is not allowing us to put him down in his safe sleeping space and my husband and I are both exhausted. I’m so terrified of SIDS that I’m only trusting myself to let him sleep on me throughout the night. I don’t get much help during the day either so I’m pretty much running on 0 sleep. He loved ...

We have a spare bedroom which we plan on making a playroom for our girls (currently 2.5yrs and 1yr). Eldest sleeps in the bigger room (approx 4.3x2.8m) and youngest is still in with us. They will share a room when ready to do so. There’s currently a double bed in the smaller room (approx 3.5x2m) and we’re replacin...

My boy is waking up cold in the mornings (I think!) We usually only wake up at 8am / 8.30am . This has been a constant since early days. The last few mornings, he's been moaning at around 6.30 / 7am. Moaning, but not actually fully waking up. He sleeps in a 2.5 tog sleeping bag, and a long sleepsuit, but I think...

My 7 nearly 8 month old has been refusing her bottles the past couple of days and she has had a couple of dry nappies aswell I’m not sure what to do
