Cosleeping with newborn

My girl is 4 weeks old tomorrow. So far we’ve been putting her in the next to me cot but she’s starting to struggle getting to sleep now and just wants to sleep whilst being held. I’m open to cosleeping but I’ve just been a bit afraid so far. Every time I try we end up facing each other both on our sides but I’m not...

4 Months Sleep Regression

Sooo is anyone else going through this right now? Lol. I didn't think this would be a huge thing, if anything at all since I had Munchkin on a really great schedule (sleeping wise) & he was ready to go to sleep between 7-8 every single night like clockwork. Like literally no matter what activity we were doing or wha...

Regression?

Is my baby going through some sort of regression? Last night for example, she slept at 8.35, was awake at 9.30 and I rocked her back to sleep. She then woke again at 10.50 and was up for 2 hours, I rocked her back to sleep several times and everytime I put her back down she would wake up. I fed her on one of these o...

Naps

How many naps does your baby do in a day? I have a 3 months baby girl and she does 5 to 6 naps a day before going to bed, each nap is between 30 minutes to an hour, is that okay? She doesn't sleep through the whole night, she wakes up every 2 hrs or less sometimes. I have a routine for her, I gave her a shower betwe...

Sleeping through the night

Is it okay for my 10 week old to be sleeping through the night? He feeds loads during the day (he’s formula fed) and he’s a big boy he’s just about to move into 6-9month clothing🥲 so he’s growing loads. I just don’t know if I should be waking him up in the night? We do demand feeding so he always lets me know when…

Reflux pillow for babies

Hi, Did anyone used a reflux pillow for babies after feeding? My baby 3 weeks old, has to stay elevated for at least 15-20 minutes after feeding so the milk won’t come out. Currently we are using a normal pillow and we are keeping her in an angle on our legs or in our arm, but I don’t think it’s good for her back fo...

Bed time routine

So my little one is 8 weeks and she has a routine of coming up about 10.30 and having a bedtime feed. I was just wondering when people start implementing an earlier routine of 7ish.

Napping (or not napping🤣)

My LO has never been good at napping in her crib and only usually stays asleep on me or in her pram in the day. The last couple days I’ve really tried to put her down in her crib as it’s hard to eat and do odd bits round the house etc with her constantly on me. When putting her down she instantly wakes up after fa...

8/9 month regression

My LO was sleep trained (Ferber) at 6 months and started sleeping through the night 10/11 hours and has been for a couple of months and goes down to bed easily and self settles. He hit the 4 month regression very badly and would wake hourly for 2 months. However in the last week or so he’s started waking at 3/4am an...

Swapping from bassinet

My baby is almost 15 weeks. She still fits in her bassinet part of the pram (just). I tried her in the next part of the pram (the pushchair bit) and she looks fine. Fits ok and her head didn’t drop forward. Question is - when are people transitioning from bassinet to pushchair part of pram? How’d you know when to ...

Baby sleep

My little girl is 13 weeks and every single nap time is a battle. I follow her cues/wake windows and I know when she’s tired. Getting her to nap is always her screaming and crying so badly until she usually gets to sleep after about 15/20minutes, and if I’m lucky I can then transfer her to her Moses basket. Does a...

when your partner helps babe at night do they keep you awake?

mine just got up (after i had to wake him up because he claims night time is “his shift” but he sleeps through her crying constantly and i’m still the one doing it 99.9% of the time) and instead of taking her in the other room he turned on all the lights, sat her down in the bed, left her wet diaper and supplies out...

Would you let your baby have sleepovers when they grow up with friends from school? Say around from the age of 5-11?

Please add your reasons :) there’s no wrong or right answer just different parental approaches which work for each family x
