Currently we d...

How do you wake up before your kids 😩

I used to love waking up early. I need that quiet time before everyone wakes up to ease into the the day. Just like half an hour before the kids wake up and start the never-ending string of demands is all I need. But no matter what I do, how early I wake up, my kids (2 & 4) are wide awake about 10 minutes later. Am...

Aurora is 4 weeks old and is sleeping 1-3hrs at a time (day and night) waking up, I change her nappy, feed her and then she’s drowsy awake for like 15mins while burping then fast asleep again😂 She has the occasional long awake time, sometimes at 2-4am, and usually in the…

Baby Wake Windows

My baby boy is almost 4 weeks old, he wakes up at 9.30ish feeds and then is awake for hours (almost 6 hours now!) he’s not screaming or crying, he’s just awake… he’ll feed on and off throughout that time but he’s just won’t give in to a nap! Is this normal?!

My baby was born at 37+2 3lb 8oz after having a growth restricted pregnancy, but he is so perfect! Ever since we brought him home he has been SO noisey.. Grunting, straining etc etc the neonatal team told us this was normal because he’s a small baby he’s still growing his organs and things. He’s 12 weeks old now and...

He goes to bed at about 7pm and is exhausted at this point, he then is stirring from about 3am for his dummy. Does a...

Feeding to sleep/Sleep associations

Anyone else found themselves stuck feeding their baby to sleep? I had to start doing this because if I rocked him to sleep or even if he fell asleep himself, the transition to the cot had a success rate of 0% The only way I was able to get him to sleep was to co sleep and feed him to sleep. Now dad can pat him to ...

Cot bed, crib or Moses basket?

FTM and I’m getting very confused with whether we need a cot bed, crib or Moses basket (or all three?) I’m on a bit of a tight budget so I was thinking maybe a cot bed for our bedroom (just enough space at bottom of bed to fit this) and then a Moses basket for downstairs naps? Or would you recommend just using M...
