Hi all, 11 week old baby boy could always be put down in his cot at night, but the last 3 nights he’s woken up every time I put him down, straight away. I’m so tired from holding him 😩 anyone else? I don’t mind him waking up to feed at all, but I really need him to be in his bed again when he’s asleep 😣

Would you judge someone for taking a small baby out late at night? Took my 2 month old to the grocery store and the cashier made a comment making me feel she was judging me for having a small baby out late 🤷‍♀️ it was 10pm.

FTM. My baby is 2 months old. I exclusively breastfeed and pump. My baby is having around 5/5.5oz with a bottle about 3-4x a day. Mostly in the evening and overnight. This helps him sleep for about 3-4hrs but it feels like a lot for a baby so small! He’s gaining weight fine. But he’s definitely got a LOT more clin...

Our LO is 7wks old but was 6wks early so adjusted age is 10days. In last few weeks he’s started crying uncontrollably at nappy changes. He does have a nasty rash we can’t seem to get rid of no matter what we do - which is a separate post - so i am wondering if it’s association of him being sore making him cry. I kno...

I need help!! So my son (one years old) has two naps a day but he is going to sleep at night by 10pm! And waking up by 6am/7am in the morning, what do we do!? He usually naps for 2 and a half hours in the morning and then one hour late afternoon, we have tried to drop the late afternoon one but he still stays up til...

Baby girl sleeps in our room and we play a white noise sound machine. It helps her sleep but sometimes it irritates the living soul out of me and then I can’t fall asleep.. How long do you let your sound machine play overnight?

My May baby has just turned 5 months (4 months adjusted) and I keep reading she should be going down to 3 naps a day at some point but this just does not seem feasible. We average around 5 naps a day anywhere from 10 mins to 2 hours and her wake windows are around 1.5/2 hours. I’ve tried stretching but she is just s...

My 8 and half month old has been waking any time between 3 and 4 in the morning like he is uncomfortable and has wind. We give him some infacol which helps for few minutes but then he’s crying again and rolling around. It continues on and off until 6am where he ends up just waking up. Anyone know how to help him w...

My baby is 5 weeks old and just slept 6 hours straight at night. She usually sleeps 4 hours max and I made her a bottle at the 4 hour mark for when she woke up but she didn’t and I fell asleep again. Then I startled awake at 6 hours and had to wake her to feed. On Google it says to feed every 3-4 hours… is 6 hours b...

I’ve been trying to resist the urge to co sleep. Been trying for the last 5 weeks to get my baby used to his bassinet but it hasn’t been working. My hubby and I have been losing so much sleep so we’ve decided to co-sleep. We co-slept with my first born but I was trying to avoid that this time around. Anyone else co ...

Dreading knowing the clocks go back in a few days as well💀

My little girl has slept through the night only ever one week in her whole life, and I just don’t know why! Does anyone else’s?

My LO is 10 weeks old and my partner keeps telling me we should put him in his own room which I don't agree with. He says he keeps walking him up during the night on week days when he needs to wake up early for work. I keep refusing and told him many times to go to another room. But then he gets all grumpy because t...

My little one has recently started wetting through his nappies at night, this has never happened before but it’s almost every night now. It doesn’t happen in the day at all! Has anyone experienced this and have any advice?

Little one wakes up dead on 5am most days and won’t go back to sleep! Just sits up in his cot screaming until I go in. Any tips on how to make this later? Have tried a later bedtime but still wakes up at 5!!

My baby is a week old and for about 4 nights in a row now they won’t sleep at night unless it’s on me or my partner. The second they get put in their bed they are awake and start fussing. During the day they sleep no problem it’s just from 1/2am until 7am they are a real issue. Any advice on this? I hope it’s just a...

When she's not napping she wants attention 100% of the time and she doesn't entertain herself, she wants to be picked up at all times. I think she has some attachment issues as I am exclusively breastfeeding since the beginning and during naps or during the night she relies on the boob to fall asleep as well as comf...

My nearly 2 year has started randomly waking in the night and won’t go back to sleep for hours, she just wakes up and plays in her cot. It’s not every night so is driving me mad trying to think why it’s happening as her routines the same everyday 🤦🏻‍♀️ anyone else had the same thing?
