My boy suffered with severe colic which we are almost over now but he will only sleep on people in the day (or the car if we lucky) any tips on how to help him be put down in the day? Anytime I try he wakes up screaming

How old are you going to move your babies into their own room? We moved my eldest when he was around 6 months into his own room but now... I feel that that may be a little early 🤦‍♀️

My little boy starts childminder in 11 weeks he will be 13months. We have worked so hard on his sleep and getting him in a routine I’m so scared that this will not happen when he is there. I understand they may have their own routine, but things like not letting him sleep past 3pm to protect bedtime, and him having ...

2 year 3 months and she isn’t happy in her cot any more in day, she’ll lie down then just ask me to get her up after about 15 mins? She is tired but she’s definitely changed these past couple of weeks and doesn’t seem as tired like more switched on and just nattering to herself.

Has anyone had their baby constantly falling asleep whilst feeding? My 12 week old can barely stay awake whilst feeding, this is new and really concerning me. She has hunger cues when wakening up and I spent nearly four hours trying to keep her awake to eat and then eventually caved in and she drank 150mls of formul...

My LG is 4.5 months and outgrown her Moses basket. We have a next to me but im just wondering if we skip that and go straight for the cot (I’m thinking the petite cot from M&P as we don’t have a huge amount of room). She will still be in our room until at least 1 year (I think). Has anyone else move to the cot at ...

My baby girl has started taking over my pillows again.

How much dose you LO's weight and what size nappy do you use? My girl constantly leak at night and we are using size 6 nappies which I believe may be too small for her to hold all the urine. My husband said they fit her perfectly and any size up will be too big for her

I’m a first time mum and knew to expect the sleep regression around 4 months but has anyone else only been experiencing it in the day? My little girl is still only waking up once in the night (but is a bit more restless) but in the day her sleep has become AWFUL! This morning she has slept for 18 minutes since wak...

Can anyone recommend any books / methods on how to get baby to self soothe and fall asleep on their own? My 8 mo needs feeding to sleep every time. He’ll transfer into the cot asleep at 7pm but wakes up every 45 mins after that: I have to feed him back to sleep then just get him in bed with me. I don’t want to do ...

*no anti vaxxer rethoric.. I believe in science and literally conceived my child through IVf..* But I had a question for other moms who vaccinate. My baby is 2 months old and had her first shots on Tuesday ever since then my child has been hard to sooth for a nap and she was a great sleeper at night time. Now I find...

We’re due a second baby in 6 weeks time and AB still has a dummy for naps and night. Question is, shall we get rid before or after baby. My concerns before is that it may be hard with the newborn here and easier to just give AB dummy but concerns about removing after is that new baby may have a dummy that AB can ta...

My bub got used to sleeping with just a light pj suit. Now it's cold and we're trying to getting him to wear a thick winter suit or sleeping bag, but he just kicks and screams when we try to put it on and if we get it on he just cries asking to take it off. Same if we put him down and put a blanket on. I now wait un...

My little one is a bad day time napper. Some days she will pass out for a 2 hour chunk but others she refuses to sleep, which after a rough night means I'm getting pretty exhausted. I don't want to enforce a strict schedule but could do with some predictability. How does everyone get their babies to nap? We're almos...

Need help on how to stop co-sleeping my little one is 8wks old now and since 3wks old we have co slept I spend hours a night trying to put her down even when she’s deep asleep but she will wake and cry, co-sleeping she will sleep 7hrs straight at night but not co-sleeping each night we both get max of 3hrs as she’s ...

What’s your routine with your 12 month old? Ours is a bit all over the place after illnesses and wanting to get back into some sort of routine. He’s waking in the night and I don’t quite think I have his daytime sleep right😬

How long does the 6/7 month sleep regression last? We’ve been going through it for over a month now, LO cries, actually no LO screams every time he touches his bed, doesn’t want to be put down, wakes up so much in the night, constantly whinging, I’m at my wits end I’m so sleep deprived and just angry I cannot deal a...

Please comment your sleep arrangements 😄

Hey ladies I’m desperately seeking advice here . My 4 week old son seems to hate being placed on his back whether it be in his Moses basket or next to me cot. He’ll be fast asleep when he’s being held but as soon as he is placed on his back it’s like he automatically starts grunting and wakes up. Previously we’d lea...

My son is nearly 5 months old and his sleep seems to be going from bad to worse. We had got used to a routine of a speedy easy bed time with 2 wake ups for feed through the night and then he’d be quick to settle back to sleep. Now every night is different but the main issue seems to be when he wakes he can’t go back...
