Babies decide how they sleep…

It’s not up to us! And there’s no right or wrong! Before I had children, I hadn’t really thought through how sleep would go. Because I’m interested in psychological research, I knew a bit about sleep training and had made a casual decision never to do it, and my understanding was that it was all CIO. But I also st...

Cot bedding

Hi! My little girl is still in her cot, she’s too tall for sleeping bags suddenly, so please can you either suggest really long sleeping bags or whether you use a duvet in a cot? Suggestions say not to use duvet in a cot with the sides up and we still have the sides up xx

2yo not sleeping on their own

So since I moved my 2 year old into his toddler bed he won’t fall asleep unless he can touch me. The first few nights I stayed with him until he fell asleep because not only did he change beds but he changed rooms too I I knew it would be new and a bit scary. 2 months on and he will just scream and cry during nap ti...

Hello how are you keeping your little ones warm when having a nap? He’s rocked to sleep and can’t swaddle/blanket with him rolling around but at the same time if I transfer into sleep sack he’ll wake up🤦🏽‍♀️
