Looking for some reassurance - are there any mammas out there that have had a baby that won’t sleep in their crib/only contact naps during the day and has successfully moved past this? And if so how did it happen? I’m really hoping this is just a phase.. :// I’m grateful that he’ll sleep in his crib by himself at n...
Has anyone else given their EBF baby a dummy? My baby is 2 wks old and I was struggling to look after him alone as every time I pick him up he thinks he's going to be fed, started giving a dummy yesterday, so far we are okay🤞
I’m EBF my 4 week old and struggling with the fact that my partner can’t settle him. He literally screams whenever he picks him up unless he’s already asleep. Any tips or advice to help?
Hi mummas, how long are your little ones sleeping in the day for? I understand their how good their night time sleep depends on their day sleep, my little one goes down for nihjy around 7ish, will sleep till midnight then will spend the next 2 hours restless up and down, he now has 2 teeth so I know teething will be...
FTM here and my girl is almost 19 weeks. We hit the 4m sleep regression a little early - around 12 weeks. Prior to this, she’d been sleeping 7.30pm-6am. It has been weeks now of hourly, sometimes half hourly, wake ups in the night and fighting all day time naps. I’m seeing such conflicting advice regarding a soluti...
My baby is 15 weeks old and has started to only nap for less than 30 mins! 😭😭😭 she will sleep for longer if I pick her up and settle her in my arms but realistically I can’t be sat in a chair with her for hours whilst she sleeps. Is this 3-4month sleep regression? She’s okay in the night and only wakes up for one…
Anyone have any insight into how long this 4 month sleep regression lasts for.. we are too days in and I’m already struggling with the sleep deprivation 🤦🏼♀️ would be nice to know there’s a light at the end of the tunnel 🤞🏼
Can anyone give me some advice please. My 4.5 month old seems constantly tired. She sleeps for about 11-12 hours at night. She has 3 naps a day but they can range from 30 mins to 3 hours. She gets really grumpy from about 5pm. We’ve tried later naps and later bedtime, early naps and early bedtime. Currently she has ...
What is everyone’s routine like with their 6month old? How many naps do they have and what length?
Is anyone else struggling to get any sleep with a really active baby at night time? I’m 33 weeks and I feel very grateful that he is so active in the evenings as I know he’s okay in there. However, he basically doesn’t stop rolling around/kicking incredibly hard between about 10pm and 3am! Sometimes the movements ar...
This is maybe a random question, but say if you had to wake your baby when they’ve just started a nap (because they pooped) what do you do? Do you try restart the nap (my son fights a nap like his life depends on it) or do you continue with the day and hope they will nap again soon? Whenever I’ve had to do this my...
So I made the grave mistake of co sleeping whilst staying over at parents and then again at home just because and now she won't sleep in her cot throughout the night. Any advice or tips to get her back into the cot please?
Hi FTM to a 4 week old boy. Hes in pampers first size that are fastened correctly and we are getting soaked clothes and bedding with urine daily. Anyone have any advice?
We are fine if she’s int he carrier/pram and I’m out but trying to get her to nap at home is impossible. If I try feed her to sleep she wakes up after 5 mins or if I rock her to sleep she screams and fights it with all her will
32 weeks pregnant now and for the life of me I can’t not sleep whether I’m exhausted and comfy I just can’t fall asleep or if I do it will be an hour or less at a time I keep getting pains in my leg, bum and hip at night or under the right boob pain which honestly hurts so much 🙃the only good place is on my back…
