Daily routine

Hellooo :) Could you please tell me about your daily routine for a 10 month old? I am quite struggling with transitioning from 2 naps to 1, and when to give her bottle. My little girl has started to fight against the second nap, but also, because she is getting tired around 10:30in the morning, she needs the nap. Al...

Pillow and duvet

I have read many posts about LOs now having a pillow /a pillow and duvet. My lo moves so much in the night, she literally ends up at the top of the bed and sometimes rotates 180 degrees. I keep thinking it might not be safe for a pillow duvet, am I being too cautious?

Cot

Hi🙂 My daughter is 3 months old and she’s been sleeping in a cot since last Friday. She’s very wriggly and always on the move. She’s slept through the night since 2 weeks old but since she’s been in the cot, she’s waking herself up once a night with her either hitting her head on the side of her cot or getting her…

No naps

My recently turned 16 month old is on 1 nap now. He has been for about 2 months. Lately he's been rejecting his afternoon nap. Anyone have any tips on how to get him napping again? He usually wakes up around 6:20-6:50am. In bed by 6:30-7:30pm (depending on if he napped that day or not). 1st wake window is around 6 ...

How to get newborn to sleep

I’m seeing some people post about how they no longer need to wake their baby up for feeds in the night as they’re now over their birth weight. My question is, how are you even getting to that point? I can’t even get my baby to sleep during the night, if she does fall asleep it’ll be on me and obv I try to move her ...

Sleep

I am so frustrated tonight. My son is 4 months old and just will not go to sleep at a decent time. It takes forever to get him to sleep. The only way he will go to sleep is if I hold him until he’s asleep. Half of the time that doesn’t even work. I go into the room with it dark and his sound machine playing, I try t...

Why doesn’t my new born like her own bed?

Any suggestions to get my newborn to sleep in her wonderful cot, if she had her way she would sleep on every minute of the day. She’s less than a week old and I have help for the next few weeks but I don’t want her to get use to this, as this will not be our reality when my husband and mum go back to work?

What age can/should a baby go into cot for naps?

My nearly 7 week old hates his Moses basket now (he’s a really long baby and he’s starting to outgrow it already 🥲) and he will not settle in it. When we’re sat downstairs we don’t have anywhere else for him to sleep when I’m doing things and don’t want him to get dependent on contact naps even though I love them…
