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?

My Lg woke up screaming about 90 mins ago, like screaming screaming wouldnt calm down. Ive stripped her off changed her bum, offered bottle (drank 1.5oz) and was still screaming. She did fall asleep and I woke her up about 25 mins and she woke up fine, alert and happy but now im stressed about going back to bed myse...

Does this regression end? Up every hour or less Refusing to nap Awake for hours

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…

In all seriousness, I have a 6 (almost 7) year old who goes to bed at 845, and a 9 year old that goes to bed at 915. How old are your kids and what's their bedtimes? Just out of curiosity.

Day 2 of using my dreamland weighted sleep sack and my baby sleeps so Much better. But I just saw a law suit against them. Regarding its safety issues. Does anyone else use this ?? My husband thinks it’s overall safe but I’m unsure now.

I’d like to try start sleep training my 7.5 month old, she wakes up 3-4 times a night and with returning back to work soon it would be lovely to get a full nights sleep. I will not do any form of crying it out as my heart could not physically take it. Anyone else sleep trained their baby successfully?

Tell me your go to tricks for putting baby down for bed!

Is anyone else’s babies at the moment just miserable? My LO used to be so happy and content but now if she is awake all she does in pinge and moan. It’s so frustrating as she constantly fights her sleep or when I put her down now she’s out for maybe five mins then she smacks herself awake or drops her dummy and wake...

Is anyone else’s newborns rolling on their side? My little boy is 5 days old and we struggle to get him to settle in his next to me sometimes anyway, but now he’s started rolling straight onto his side and trying to sleep on his side. I’m panicky as it is and keep putting him back to his back but he just keeps going...

My baby is about to be 7months and cosleeps with us… but today I got him to sleep in his own crib for nap time! He cried for like 20-25 mins (not hysterical or anything, more of just a small cry which is why I let him cry… if he gets hysterical or starts getting more aggressive cry I always pick him up and give up o...

Anyone up? So tired.. darling toddler is experiencing some raj stuff where she decides to wake at midnight every night for 2-3 hours 🎃🫠

My 1 year old has never been a great sleeper but used to sleep through 2/3 times a week. Since turning one she’s decided that around 12 every night she would wake up absolutely screaming her head off. Milk stops it initially but then she just cries again, I’ve given her calpol, teething powder and Nurofen on differe...

Hey guys. Has anyone else's baby got HFAM currently? My baby is sleeping terrible through the night. Plz tell me it gets better 😂

Anyone else’s toddler waking up for night feeds? My LB is 34m and still wants milk in the night. As a parent, I don’t want him to completely stop drinking it, but definitely the night feeds need to stop soon or later. Im still sleep deprived from it😭

How are parents coping with sleep with their babies during a bout of common cold? Our sleep hasn’t recovered since the beginning of the 4 month regression. In the last 3 months we’ve had non stop colds, teething and now the 6 month regression. My baby sleeps on her front, she does not sleep on her back at all. We ...

My lo has had a horrendous cold for about 1 1/2 weeks has been super grumpy hates being in the car refuses to be held by her dad. Now she’s got abit be...

My baby has started sleeping on his front (usually bum in the air) and he has also now started having leaking nappies every night which obviously means a change of clothes and sheets and that is then causing an hour or two wakes in the middle of the night. Any advice?

My 4 year old daughter is still waking up a couple times throughout the night and trying (sometimes successfully) to get into my bed. Is this common? How do I navigate through this, I thought we’d be over it by now. She begs every night to sleep in my room and sometimes I’m just too tired to put up a fight.

My 22 month old has never been the best of sleepers but has been good at sleeping in her own room. However, for the past week I've suspected she's been having her bottom molars coming in (dribbley, prone to upset quickly, bad sleep). One night she just wouldn't go down and it was 1am and I just gave in and let her ...
