Baby fighting every nap

My baby is 5 months and fights every single nap. Arches her back, throws herself around, cries and screams even though she’s tired and it just doesn’t matter what I do she won’t go to sleep. Hushing, rocking, singing, music, patting her bum, stroking her hair, dummy, nothing. She just cries until she’s so exhausted ...

Transitioning out of the love to dream swaddle bag

Any tips on how to transition my LG who is 7 weeks old from the love to dream swaddle bag please. The transition bag with the arms that can be zipped off is from 6kg so it’s too big for her as she’s only 4.5kg. TIA

Toddler & naps

My 21-month-old has refused to nap for two days in a row, and I have no idea what to do. He started sleeping on his own at 6 months. We’ve followed the same sleep routine, used the same sound machine, and kept everything consistent since then, with only minor schedule changes as he’s grown. He usually wakes up at 7 ...

Routines

So I have a 3 year old and a May baby, struggling a bit with bedtimes. My 3 year old has always gone to bed around 6:30-7:30 on the odd occasions later, but she’ll always get 12 hours and I’m fine with waking up around 7am.

I’m at a loss at the moment as my 10 month old will not nap at all without being fed to sleep and it’s the only thing that will resettle her when she stirs. She won’t even sleep in the pram o...

4 month sleep regression

Anyone else struggling with the sleep regression? It started about a week ago. Before this, baby sleep for 4-6 hours a night with no waking up. Now it's every hour- 2 hours waking up crying. He's breastfed so I offer food at each waking, but last night it wasn't even an hour sometimes before he'd wake up. Any tips ?...
