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.

Not sleeping

Its 11 at night and my 5 month old doesn't want to sleep. She is tired and sleepy but keeps crying just to keep herself wide awake. She is exclusively BF and had poop a bit green today. What should i do? Should let her cry? Please suggest something to save my sanity!

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...

Tips for naps in daytime

Any tips would be massively appreciated. My 6wo wont go down on her own for any naps in the day time. During the night she is fine in her next to me but as soon as I try to put her down in her moses basket or even the next to me during the day she’ll kick off, even if she’s in a deep sleep on me beforehand. I need t...

Introducing a comforter

How did everyone manage to introduce a comforter to their baby? We’re struggling with sleep, and I’ve gone back to work. Baby has absolutely no ability to self sooth and 9/10 needs to be fed to calm down, sleep etc (she’s breastfed) Even when breastfeeding she uses my hair as comfort, and I’m trying to wean her ...

Baby still awake

My LO has seemed really off today. Cranky, not eating much and only napped 40mins all day. My MIL gave her a few spoonfuls of jelly around 6pm. She went to bed and woke up after 30 mins in such a state. Been sick and now up playing but VERY irritated. She won’t settle, or take milk. Do you think it’s the sugar fro...

Sleep

Is anyone’s baby sleeping through the night? My little girl would happily sleep through the night if we allowed her but I’m conscious on her weight so we’re still feeding her every 4-5 hours in the night as I’m not sure if I can leave her to sleep

Transitioning to a toddler bed

Guys ! How do you do it? My 2 year old is currently still in a crib. I put one of the sides down just to test the waters and it was awful! Every second he was coming out 😭 We’re usually in a good routine at nighttime so I was surprised it was so hard. It’s not even a toddler bed yet. Any recommendations?
