What age was your baby able to get out of bed independently?

I woke up to my baby playing on the floor with her dog. The problem is she was in bed with me sleeping.

Which in any other scenario I would be thrilled because we had been working on safely getting off of fur...

Naps

My boy has all of a sudden decided that he only needs 3 naps a day and now goes to bed at 8pm because of this… completely thrown me off 😂 I know I should enjoy having my evenings and spend time with my partner, but I’m used to a 9.30-10pm bedtime with an 8-9am wake up 😂 Not the current 6.30-7am wake ups we’ve been…

Sleeping arrangements!

Evening ladies. What are you doing about baby sleeping downstairs during the day? I have a next to me crib for night time but don’t want to be lugging it up and down the stairs. My previous child is now 13 and we used a Moses basket but they don’t seem to be a thing these days. I don’t fancy the pram being in the ...

Baby sleeps on one side of head

My little boy is 3 months old and has always slept with his head to one side. He’s now started getting quite a flat head on one side which is really noticeable. He can move his head both ways but just won’t sleep on the other side and I can’t move him as he just moves it straight back! Has anyone else had this and...

Day 5 of jet lag. Baby won’t sleep until 3am and normally wakes up at 12 midday and it’s not changing no matter how hard I try. Is it worth waking her up at 7am to get back on track asap?

I wanted to ease into the new time zone (8 hours difference) with an hour earlier at bedtime an hour earlier to wake up for example if she slept at 3am the first night and woke up at 12 midday the first day then on the second day it would be bed by 2am and wake up by 11am but it’s been the same ever since we got her...

Anyone else feeling frustrated by partner?

My partner went back to work 2 weeks ago. He started sleeping in the other room by himself so he could sleep and be well rested for the work day ahead. He kind of sprung this idea up on my last second so I didn’t have a great response as to what an alternative solution would be. In my mind, I’m thinking. I have to t...
