Community Posts, Tips & Support on Baby Sleep

Just wanted to post for all the mums out there wondering whether little ones will always contact nap and never sleep on their own. As of two days ago we have managed to put little one in his bed for naps. We don’t follow a routine, I’m not going anywhere near sleep training, he has just suddenly gone, okay I can sle...

I’m a FTM to a little 10 week old. Dad’s a first timer too. Neither of us had previous experience with children so everything has been brand new for us. My question is how involved are babies dads in day to day things? I EBF so I suggested from the start that I deal with everything nighttime related, so I put her ...

Mummas are you starting to implement bedtime routines now babies are 3-4 months old … if so what are you doing as bedtime routines ? I feel like ours is so chaotic no wonder she doesn’t go to sleep for ages 😳🤦🏼‍♀️

My little girl is 5.5 weeks, I wake her every 3-4 hrs during the day for a feed but during the night let her wake naturally which is usually the same around every 3-4 hrs. I was just wondering how other mums go about feeding during the day, do you let them wake themselves or wake them up? Not sure if I should just l...

Hello 👋 soooo, I’ve been super lucky with my 6 week old so far, and never struggled massively with having crying outbursts unless wanting feeding. HOWEVER since yesterday, she’s been super fussy, over tired but will only nap about 10 mins before crying again, really gassy and is feeding almost every hour. My health…

My 4 week old sleeps a good 95% of the day I’d say - she’s barely awake. How often do your babies sleep? I am worrying that she is sleeping too much. 2nd baby and I can’t remember how often my first slept.

Hello! My little boy has always been a good sleeper, but over the past 10 days has started waking up 4-5 times a night (I’m so sorry to anyone who has been doing this since December 🫠). He’s just turned 5m so I thought we’d passed the 4m regression, he is very dribbly and chewing everything but doesn’t seem to have…

Has anyone else experienced this horrendous 8 week sleep regression?I don’t remember this with my eldest at all but my LO is 8 weeks tomorrow and yesterday and today she’s slept for no more then 3 hours during the day! I’m going out of my mind. Is this regression an actual thing? She has a very set in stone bedtime ...

My LO has started waking up every 3 hours in the night, a couple of big cries in naps/sleep, but nothing life changing versus the last 4 months. Just wondering if this is what others are experiencing or if it may deteriorate further 🤣 I don’t mind just interested!

My baby don't like to cuddle much is anyone else's baby like this ? I want to just sit and cuddle him somtimes the only time we do get a cuddle is before bed when I pick him up and rock him to sleep only cuz i want the cuddles we usually pat to sleep . But at the end of the day I feel like a little cuddle helps him ...

I know it says it’s breathable etc but a Muslin etc over the pram to shade baby is really not recommended and to me, the snoozeshade is even worse?! You can’t see baby in it and surely it would make it a little hot caccoon in there? I’m looking for an alternative to it as I would like to book a summer holiday but...

My baby sleeps from 6pm till 6am. He does stir for milk a few times through the night but no full wake ups. Was wondering if any other mamas have a baby with an early bedtime? It’s completely non forced- if anything I try and make him last as long as he can but he just can’t wait to go to bed! All I see is babies g...

Anyone’s babies had nappy rash from Aldi nappies? We thought it was the water wipes so went back to cotton wool & water and we’ve been using pampers nappies the rash improved and we’ve gone back to Aldi and his bum appears worse again.

"Sleep when the baby sleeps" sounds great, except this baby will only sleep if I'm holding him. When he falls asleep, I'll move him to the bassinet and he's up crying in 10 mins or less. I'm not getting anything done around the house which is making me feel guilty. He sleeps for one 2-hour stretch in the bassinet at...

Okay my toddler is tired, refused to nap. If I put him in his crib he cries and grabs into me. I think this is more of a problem mentally for me because he’s always been a vocal baby and any time he’d cry I’d go to help him. Now that he’s older he’s able to settle himself, but I feel horrible that he screams and c...

Heyyy mamas, I’m so undecided to know what the best thing to do with night feeds. My little boy is 12weeks on Friday, he’s formula fed and has 6oz every 4hours (literally like clock work in the day!). I am trying the dream feed with the attempt to get him to sleep longer but doesn’t really work lol! So is it pointle...

My almost three week old cries constantly in the evening for hours and during the day will not sleep for naps, I put her down and she lasts a few minutes before crying again. As I understand it, she’s supposed to have wake windows of about 45 mins, but she honestly stays awake for hours even when I’m trying to get h...

Hello ladies. So partner, baby and myself are staying at my mother in law's while I recover from an operation. The baby is 6 months old and is in the same room as us in her travel cot. This morning we tried to have sex but she started crying which spoilt the mood. We're hoping to try again tonight. Does anyone have ...

My little girl is three months old and it’s a fight to get her too sleep at bed time and she won’t nap for any longer than 20 mins four times a day any advice would be appreciated xx

My baby is 4 weeks old can typically go down for a day nap with a bit of rocking/swaying. She doesn’t usually take too long to fall asleep (in the day) and usually naps for about an hour. However, the last few days have felt nearly impossible to help her get to sleep. Despite the usual methods, she doesn’t fall asle...
