Cosleeping while away from home

Next month, I will be staying at my grandma's for one night with my baby, who will be 10 months at that point. We have only ever coslept. We tried the bassinet and pack n play and he just did not like either. My parents have set up an air mattress for everyone who has been staying at my grandma's. I'm just not sure...

How are your littles going to sleep?

We have always rocked or held our son to sleep at night and transferred him to the crib once he’s asleep. He sleeps through the night fine and has been since he was 13 months old (thank goodness, it was a rough first year). But I’m due in less than two months with another little boy and we are considering trying to ...

Bedtime and partner involvement

How involved is your partner in bedtime with your LO? Do you take it in turns? Do it together? You do it alone every night? I just realised that going to the bedroom to put LO down has unspokenly become my role and partner just gets to sit up downstairs alone relaxing, which I literally have never done unless I put...

BF outside

When I’m at home I use a pillow to bf, but I can’t take the pillow out with me as it’s quite big. When bf outside, I find it quite hard as my baby is getting heavier and my wrists/arms are pathetically weak 😂😭 so I struggle to support him. Any advice or ideas?

Rolling over too early?

12 weeks as of yesterday and she rolled over from her back to stomach today. She went from laying on the back, to her side and then flipped to her stomach. Should I be concerned this is too early?!

Toddler just won’t sleep and it’s pi**ng me off!!!

She’s been doing this for the last few days, she sleeps for around an hour or two and wakes up. Then she doesn’t go back to sleep, I’ve tried everything but she just stays up for hours. It’s currently 2.30am and she has to be up at 7 for nursery, if I look at her, she’ll pretend to sleep but otherwise she’s just loo...

Bedside bassinet

Any other mamas still have their LO in a bedside bassinet? My LO just started rolling back to belly today and now I feel like it’s time we transition him out of his bedside bassinet but I’m sooooo not ready for him to be in his own room. I also think he is about to hit the max weight capacity of his bassinet anyway....

How to get into a routine?

My LO is almost 17 weeks old & I’m really struggling to get some sort of routine set up. When or how do I start getting into a routine? Because atm I’m just winging it, feeding her when she’s asking for milk & she sleeps when she wants to. Maybe I’m being hard on myself but I just feel like I’m constantly exhausted ...

Can’t get baby down at night

It’s only day 3 so super early but I just can’t get my baby down at night for any period of time at all. He’s a small baby so only doing short feeds but he will fall asleep on the boob. He will settle on me but as soon as I put him in his next to me he will want feeding again. I just want a little bit of sleep 😢…

19 month sleep regression??

My LO will be 19 months on the 26th and she started to fight naps and wake between 3:30-4:30 am. Any one else experience this??? It legit came out of the blue. I thought I was past sleep regressions….they say sleep isn’t linear until 3. Ugh.

If you used to rock/hold baby to sleep then transfer, how did you stop and what do you do now?

Apart from falling asleep in car we have always held her with dummy and she usually is asleep in 1-10 mins which is amazing and to be honesy I dont mind too much especially now its only twice per day plus bed time, as I do love the cuddles but will obviously need to stop at some point lol. If I lie her down in cot a...

Blankets

My almost 4 week old baby will not sleep in his own bed at night I have just put him in his bed and he’s outters but as soon as I put the blanket on him he wakes up so I think that’s the problem anything I can do as he’s to small for any sleep sacks or swaddles and I honestly hate bed sharing

Night light

Hi Ladies, this is abit of a strange question, but, which night lights do you use (if you use any) for your little one? There are so many, and some are quite pricey. I want one that's not too bright or distracting. My little girl is currently struggling to manage a full night in her cot and I think a nightlight migh...
