My 3 month old sleeps through the night between 11pm till 6am without feeding. She is breastfed. Do I still have to wake her up?
My baby is 6 weeks old and I’m still waking him every 4 hours in the night for a feed. He’s more than his birth weight now and I’m wondering when do I need to stop waking him for a feed and let him wake himself like he does in the day. Does anyone have any advice on this please ☺️
My little boy 3 months only seems to fall asleep during the day if he’s rocked in someone’s arms, rocked in the bouncer or out in his pushchair. It’s a fight to give him his dummy. He will only take his dummy after his last feed before bed which settles him in seconds and then spits it out. He whines quite a lot in ...
My baby is 3 months nearly 4 , she is having 7 ounces every 3 hours still, if when we’re out and she sleeping she will sometimes go 4 hours but won’t hold out any longer. She is on aptamil colic and constipation as she struggle with her wind. She does go through the night (8:30-5:30) but during the day is every 3 h...
Not recommend I know but after not feeling great really needed sleep. I put my LO beside me in her nursing pillow to settle and she slept roughly 12-4:30 (longest stretch ever). Although I was constantly checking her 😅She is a contact napper and think she liked the feeling of being tight/ enclosed in a way as if…
I want to co sleep with bag 9 months old baby boy, but I am scared of what if ? I have seen a videos that co sleeping had done to them , I don’t want to even imagine about it , Any safety advice?
This might be a silly question but my little girl no matter how long her nap is 30 mins to 2 hours, her wake window always stays the same. You would think if she naps for 2 hours the next wake window will be longer?🤷🏻♀️🤣
What time does everyone put their babies to bed after their last feed? At the moment I’m feeding my 10 week old at the 10pm then bed for about 10:45pm - when does this need to start being earlier? Not sure when to make the changes
I don’t know if it’s normal but my little boy will not go down during the day on his own. He hates the Moses basket I nurse him to sleep after a feed then lay him in his basket and within minutes he’s awake crying he doesn’t like it. Same with the swing chair once he’s had an active window after a feed and he’s quit...
Is anyone else's LO suddenly decided that 5.45am is the new 6.45? We're on holiday at the moment so the early wake-ups have been a bit of a killer! 🤣 We even tried putting him to bed 45mins later last night but still the same wake up time! Is it just another phase?
My 2 week old girl has been refusing to nap and sleep at night the past 2 days. I'm exhausted! Anyone got any tips on getting g her to sleep so I can sleep? She's breastfed and doesn't appear to being coming off the breast milk drunk at the moment either
This is the first time I’ve felt properly shit about my child’s development. She’s 6 months and she isn’t rolling or even trying, I’ve tried so many times to help her do it or show her how to do it. She gets loads of time on the floor and on her tummy but she just won’t. She also won’t nap for longer then 30 min...
Hi everyone. I'm currently 28 weeks pregnant and i have not been getting much sleep for the past 5-6 days, 2-3 hours if I am lucky. Baby is just super active every time I try and get some sleep. Any advice on what I could do?
How is everyone sharing out time with baby with their partner. For example, do you have set times you each have the baby for? We keep getting into massive arguments, here's my example: my partner is self employed, so doesn't have a 9-5, instead he works as and when (as a designer / artist), and I understand it needs...
I've solely done bedtime for our baby girl the whole way through. She wouldn't settle early on for dad and it just became easy for me to do it and now I've been doing it for 6m 🙃😂 we booked tickets a while back for a show in Truro so 1.5hr away and we plan to go there and back on the night, leaving around 5pm. We…
He is such a terrible sleeper. Always has been. But now he's just getting worse than ever. He goes to bed at 7/7:30. (Used to sleep until around 12), he now wakes around 9, 10, 11 then has a feed around 12. He wakes then around 4 to be resettled, then at 5am he's up for the day 😭 (I'm only able to get around 4…
