9m baby waking for bottles in the night

Any ideas how I can stop my 9 month old waking multiple times in the night? I try and settle him but he’s always crying until he gets a bottle then guzzles the whole thing!! He’s waking the same time every day and it’s around 4 times a night which is exhausting! As it’s the same times I feel it’s more routine for hi...

Downstairs Sleeping?

Our baby is currently only 11 days old but I’m wondering where he’ll sleep downstairs once he’s outgrown his moses basket as that’s what we currently have in the living room. I’ve seen that bouncers aren’t safe and don’t want to take him upstairs every time he needs a nap. Thanks!!

Naps

Sometimes my baby’s first nap he will sleep for 3 hours. I never know if that’s to much. I sometimes work from home and been taking advantage of his long naps but then idk if that’s to long. He use to wake up at 7 then take a 2 hour nap at 9. Wake up on his own. But now he’s been waking up at 8 and will either ...

No nap and bedtime

If your little one doesn’t nap anymore do you put them to bed a lot earlier than what they would of to make up the day nap? My little girl has been battling naps for a few weeks and bed time has been taking ages so I think we are on the way to dropping the nap, we’ve had days where she doesn’t nap at all, today she...

4 month sleep regression question…

I can see from the various posts below that we’re all in the depths of the dreaded 4 month sleep regression. My LO one seemed to ‘hit’ it early as it started at about 13/14 weeks. She had been sleeping through the night since about 5 weeks so what a shock it was🤣 Shes now 18 weeks and it’s the same, if not worse.…

How much is your 1 month old drinking?

So my LO is 1 month old and we feed her on demand. Whilst this is working, the amount she is drinking is never consistent. Sometimes she will cry for milk and only drink 1oz of it and then happily go to sleep and wake up 1 hr to 1 hr 30 later for more. But other times, she will happily finish a full 4oz and feed ag...

Yoto or Tonie?

I’m so torn between the yoto and the tonie box. The tonie looks more child friendly to me, but the Yoto looks like it will last for years. Wanting to get one for my two littles for Christmas, does anyone have either? Is one better than the other? Pros of one over the other? Thank you!!!

Does this stage get easier? Everything is a fight!

Fight to get nappy changed, fight to brush teeth, fight to get into car seat, fight to get face washed, fight to sit still for 2 mins to get dressed, I am knackered!!! I guess I didnt expect it to be so hard once they got a bit older, or to still be so sleep deprived 😭 I feel so guilty as Im losing my patience

Toddler sleep clocks

I was just curious how many people have used or tried these? I have a 2 year old that has been having a lot of early wake ups and was considering trying one. I have an older child that never needed one of these. So, I wanted to get some feedback before trying one.

Calpol

My daughter spent the last hour screaming and would hardly settle, definitely wouldn't nap. I wondered if she was teething as she has been drooling excessively and having very mucus poo all week. I tried her with calpol and she was asleep within 10 minutes, does that mean that she must have been in some discomfort...

Bad Napper

However her naps during the day are abysmal. We did TCB nap training about two weeks before she started daycare at six months and sh...

Cot naps during or after regression?

My little one naps well (but only for 30-45 minutes!) in his next to me and has done for a number of weeks now. He’s almost 4 months and to aid transition to his cot at 6 months I was thinking of starting putting him down for naps in his cot - thoughts? Should I wait until we are through the regression?
