Sleep issues

My LO is nearly 10 months and has always slept through the night however the last week or so they are waking up throughout the night screaming there's no specific time frame it's at random points. As soon as they are picked up they immediately stop crying but start back up again as soon as they are laid down. Is any...

Feeding at night

Sorry if this is a stupid question.. Daughter is nearly 4 months and ebf. She feds 2-3 times during the hours 10pm-7am. I fed her lying down which is fine for one boob as she is on the bed next to the next to me crib. But to feed her on my other boob she is between me and my hubby which I don’t want to do. The thir...

Baby SCREAMS at bedtime

Please tell me you are also struggling to get your 9 week old into any sort of routine? We’ve introduced bath before bed but it takes us ages to get her to sleep afterwards. How is everyone else getting on? 🩷 xx

Moms of multiples! When did you move your first to a big kid bed?

My son will be 2 years and 1 month when this baby is born so I’d like to move him into a big boy bed so baby can have that crib, etc. Did you skip toddler bed and go straight to a twin or full? Did you do a regular bed with removable rails or a floor bed? I want something that will last him several years which is wh...

Sleep - or should I say no sleep!

I'm really struggling with my sons sleep at the moment and I'm not sure whether it's a sleep regression, a separation anxiety or whether he just doesn't like his bed. He's never been a great sleeper and didn't sleep through until he was about a year old, but even through regressions he'd still be asleep by 715pm. H...

Cot to bed transition?

Has anyone taken the sides off their cots yet? I'm thinking we will maybe attempt when our LB turns 2 but we feel like he will literally get out of bed and walk around his room for hours 😂 We will probably but a bed guard on it to begin with but still not sure how to navigate it? At the moment we put him to bed…

Sleeping on me

Should I stop my baby sleeping on me? During the day she will sleep while carried on our shoulder or held sideway. Through the night she sleeps on my chest while I sleep, there is no other way currently she will fuss and scream in the cot even thought she’s slept on it before, and even on the bed next to me she just...

Night out - bed time

So, I breastfeed my baby to sleep and I’ve never ventured to go out and let my partner put my baby to sleep. I wouldn’t even know where to start? Is there any other mum who feeds her baby to sleep and let her partner do bed time? I’ll go out with some friends and I’m so worried and feel guilty I’ll leave my baby home.

7.5 month old still waking in the night

My boy is still waking 4/5 times each night. I have unfortunately got into the habit of him falling asleep on the breast in order to get him to sleep. So I think he’s waking because he’s stirring and realising he’s no longer on the breast! He is breastfed/formula fed during the day as well as having 2/3 meals of sol...

Sleeping bag

So just wondering what others did. I’m layering him up and using 2 cellular blankets at the moment. He’s quite a chilly baby, so li...
