4 month sleep regression

Looking for some advice from mamas who have gone through the 4 month sleep regression. My LO goes to sleep really well, and for the first part of the night is good, until around 2-3am, and then is constantly whining and chatting to himself 🫠😂. He has a dummy which is becoming annoying now, as he keeps spitting it…

Sleep stressed

My son is 8 1/2 months old and in the last couple of month I’ve noticed he is waking up at night. I started adding a bottle before bed cause I thought maybe he was waking hungry but still he’d wake up. Since turning 8 months it is like clock work. Around 1 am and again at 6 am we will wake up. My supply has gone dow...

Hellish first night

After a dream first day in hospital with a happy, sleepy baby who was happy to sleep in his cot and didn’t even want to wake to feed, we’ve had the most awful first night at home. He wouldn’t be put down in his next to me and wanted to cluster feed ALL night so it was hard to even do shifts with my husband. My toddl...

Anyone else’s toddler just recently discover how to unzip and escape from their sleep bag?

Yesterday my little one just discovered how to undo her sleeping bag, she unzipped it, threw it off, than rolled it into a ball🙄 Are there sleeping bags that are hard to get out of? Or is now the time we introduce a duvet? (I have no clue, 1st time mum, just figuring out as I go basically)

Waking up screaming

This week, my 22mo has woken up every single night at around 1 or 2 am and is screaming at the top of his lungs. He normally sleeps straight through like a log. I’m not sure what the cause is? His current routine is up at 6.30 or 7, nap at 12.45-2, asleep for 8pm. I have wondered if there’s somehow another tooth c...

Waking at 5am 😣

My 2.5year old is waking up at 5am everyday! (He used to be such a good sleeper). He’s room is dark, a good temperature and he goes to bed everyday at 7:15..same routine. He is still napping but I feel he needs it and we limit it to an hour. When he wakes up he is definitely more grumpy..I think due to tiredness. We...

My newborn is only 3/4 days old. Good as gold during the day.. feeds, poops and burps well etc and is having what I believed to be adequate wake windows for age. However at night after the last bottle 10/11pm he just refuses to be laid into the next to be crib. He will maybe sleep a couple minutes at a time but ...

Do parents do cry it out / Ferber / extinction methods because they believe it is the gold standard method to independent sleep, or is it because they are at their wits end?

I am curious because I know moms who are stay at home, supported by rich husbands and family, and will still do CIO because their 6 month old baby is waking up once or twice a night.

How often do you change LO nappy overnight?

My LO goes ballistic when her nappy is being changed. I’ve tried waking before she does just to change it, still doesn’t work. I change it even when it’s a little bit wet, do I need to? Could I leave it a bit longer till she tells me?
