Not sure what to do here as never had this with my first, I got this sleeping pod thing (pic in comments) he sleeps brilliant with or without as the health visitor told me not to use it as it holds his heat and I must admit when I use it he does feel a bit warmer and in the weather that we have been having at the mo...
My 4 months old has woken up for a feed and is now wide awake!!! Ready to start the day 🫠🙃 I've not done anything different for him to be awake... he normally wakes, latches onto boob and is asleep while feeding. When he's done, he just unlatches and continues to sleep. Today he's ready to party!!! Going to be a…
Full feed and still wide awake. I want my bed!
Someone please tell me their baby isn’t yet sleeping through the night 🤣 make me feel like I’m not still the only one up twice a night!! So disheartening when you hear of babies younger & sleeping through! 😅
No matter how many times I put him on his back, my LO keeps rolling onto his side, I think he is teething and in this heat aswell I'm stressing out because of SIDS, online all it says is to keep putting them on their back. But he either just wakes up and screams the house down or rolls back onto his side. I'm terrif...
No matter what time I put my baby to bed I’ve tried 6:30,7, and nearer to 8 she will still wake up at 5:30am on the dot. She sleeps through until then so I can’t complain but I’m conscious of how much night sleep she’s getting if it’s a late bedtime
I've been putting off little one going in her own room but she's understanding how to climb and I'm so scared she'll climb out it her next to me. I thought if she goes in her room she would be lonely or I wouldn't get to her wuick enough or I'd be up all night settling her. However tonight we bit the bullet and put ...
So this may be a weird one, whoever I talk to haven’t heard this one 🤔 I suffer with restless legs in 3rd trimester with my last pregnancy and current pregnancy. My partners grandma told me to put soap under my sheet at the bottom of the bed, so I have done…and it’s weird but it seems to have worked. Also been…
Hi all, my LO is still waking in the night. He is currently in a space saving cot & I don’t think there’s enough room. He usually ends up in bed with me at 4am. Was thinking of getting something like this so if needs be I can re settle him in his bed. My partner & I are constantly arguing. I’m so exhausted 😭
Guys I have a question. I could be paranoid. My fiancé used to use cocaine before he was with me. He has been clean for four years. We were friends for 9 years so I did see it back then as far as him doing that weird jaw thing. He would go on binges for 3-5 days then sleep two days straight and be back to normal. Th...
We FINALLY got our baby sleeping through around a month ago & the past week he’s decided he no longer likes sleeping. He’s up 3 - 4 times a night. Is this a 6 month thing? Please say there are other mums up this many times? Has this happened and settled again for others? I am so tired, we were finally getting sleep!...
My baby is only 4 days old and she point blank refuses to sleep on her own at night. She needs contact every time to the point I literally haven’t slept. She will cry and wail at the top of her voice until one of us just stays awake with her for hours on end. I usually take one for the team (my partner has been bril...
Hi, I have a 5 week old little boy. In general he is sleeping 4 hours between feeds in the day and 3 hours at night, he is on breastmilk. Should I be doing anything to get him to sleep for longer at night or just go with the flow?
Hi! Is anyone else’s little one started waking up, like fully awake, talking, ready to play through the night & taking forever to go back to sleep. Sometimes hours! This is the 3rd night of it now! I’m hoping it’s just a regression & it won’t last long 🙏 because this mummy is tired! Luckily she’s very cute 😂
When baby starts to sleep for longer during the night, how often do you change their nappies?
This is my second pregnancy, but this time, I have GD and baby is big, and I have extra fluid so (although not big) I'm heavy. I cannot get comfortable! I am so uncomfortable at night, when I sit down. What do people do to get comfy at night?
