*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...

Hello! My little boy (10 weeks) is doing up to 9h stretches at night, which is fabulous. What isn't fabulous is that he's wetting through his nappy and wakes up sodden, all up his back and through and sleepsuit, vest, and sheet on the NextToMe. We're using Aldi nappies at the moment, which are great during the day ...

Hello! I cosleep with my 12 month old, she is ebf also. In feb I am going to spend a night away and leave my two girls with grandparents. My toddler is fine I’m just super anxious about my youngest, any advice? She won’t sleep in a cot and I don’t want anyone else cosleeping with her as they don’t have the instincts x

How long are your babies staying awake between naps? My LO is struggling badly with naps and will only sleep for 30-40 minutes. I think I’m putting him down too soon as he showing me tired signs but he’s tired all day due to the rubbish naps! Wondering if I should stretch him to be awake for 2 hours between naps now?

Can someone please tell me how long this sleep regression lasts for, as I feel like I’m back in the newborn trenches again! My little girl has slept through the night since 5 1/2 months, other than when she’s ill or teething, but for the last 2-3 weeks she has been waking 1-2 times a night screaming, standing in he...

Looking to get a couple swaddle sleepbags for baby boy. I didn’t use a sleeping bag for my first born til she was about 7 months. What do you prefer, tommee tippee or love to dream? Thank you! ☺️

Did your LO start sleeping better through the night when you transitioned to one nap instead of two?

The last two nights have been horrendous, he’s had us up every hour or two but as soon as I give up and bring him downstairs he crashes . I know at his age - 11 weeks its normal for him to be still waking up but usually he goes 2/3 hour stretches and goes straight back down without a screaming match we have had the...

Every morning at 5.30am pretty much exactly my LO will start struggling to poo/pass wind where he starts scrunching his legs and kicking about and squirming and moaning but while falling asleep intermittently for a couple minutes here and there but this can go on for 1-2 hours until I get him up! But I try to leave ...

Any advice on how to make LO sleep longer in the mornings?? Or is this just my life now and is anyone in the same boat! Little man used to wake up around 7ish, but now consistently for the last month or so that has gotten earlier and earlier where most mornings are now 5:30am - or this morning, 4:30am 💀 - and…

So my little girl is almost 4 and a half months old and last night she slept for 11 and a half hours! She is gaining weight perfectly never dropped (breast fed) Should I still be worried she slept that long? I think she also has a cold so maybe that’s why she slept so long in the night?
