The last 5 nights we’ve started to have multiple wakeups, 11pm, 2/3am, 5am which we initially put down to a growth spurt as she seemed hungry however as the nights ...

Stopped napping

Has anyone else’s toddler stopped napping? We are on day 9 of no naps. No matter what I do, longer or shorter wake windows, pre lunch or post lunch, nothing works. We already had a sleep regression back in July where she didn’t nap, surely this can’t be another one? But it seems early for her not to nap at all? Anyo...

Morning naps and playgroups management etc

Hi, I just want to know how other parents manage babies naps and attending morning playgroups etc? Most if the playgroups start at 9.30am which is when the nap starts… or just during our napping. Feel like we’re missing on so much interactions as we’re out of sync with everyone!! What you are you guys doing?

Best way to get rid of a dummy?

My little girl is 2 and only has it for naps and bed time, sometimes when she's teething but her last tooth is coming through. We've cut back so much but I have bad teeth from sucking my thumb so I want to nip it in the bud now!
