My son has been rocked to sleep (or some sort of movement) pretty much since birth and it works for us. He sleeps 12 hours overnight and has 2 naps. Rocking him to sleep literally takes under 3 minutes. He started going to nursery 2 days a week and his nursery room leader has said they don’t rock kids to sleep, ins...

For those who co-sleep with their babies from the start, when did you move them to their own room without much of a problem? My girl will be 2 years old in June this year and I am planning to put her in own room on bed. She sleeps okay till 12-1 in the night but I need to sleep with her later as she keeps waking u...

Anyone else experiencing massive regressions in night time sleep at the moment? Little one is a week off 10 months and for the past good few weeks night time sleep is an absolute nightmare! He’s never been the best sleeper but always slept in his cot maybe with 1 wake up through the night. He will wake shortly aft...

Anyone else dealing with the terrible twos? We have multiple meltdowns a day. Every day. And bedtime is an absolute shit show. She doesn’t want her nappy changed. Doesn’t want to get dressed. Doesn’t want to get undressed. Doesn’t want to get in the car. Wants to get herself dressed but then refuses to do it. Asks t...

So for background. My daughter will be 10 months this week. From 10 weeks old she has slept through in her own bedroom. The past four nights, once she is placed into her cot for bedtime she cries. Well as soon as she goes into the room, it’s like she knows and starts crying. I’ve done the whole putting her back do...

My EBF baby wakes every hour from bedtime onwards. But last night he decided to wake at 4am, blowing raspberries while nursing. This continued for 45 minutes! I was torn between being frustrated cos I was tired and laughing out loud. Anyone else’s baby doing this?

My LB goes nuts during nappy changes. Usually cries and tries to roll over.. it’s been 10 months I thought he would understand nappy change time now? Is this normal at this age? Anyone have any tips? I usually do try to give him something in his hands, doesn’t always work. Eventually I want him to understand nappy c...

My son is 17 months and has never slept well. I co sleep with him and he wakes up every hour or two. I can’t leave his side all night even to go to the bathroom. I have to take him with me if I need to go, literally. I can’t even change or wash my face before bed. He wakes up at 5:30am. He has a nighttime routine an...

Hi ladies, Out of curiosity has anybody moved their baby to their own room before 6 months & how did it go?

My nearly 5 month old hates being on her back and immediately rolls to her belly when she’s awake in the day and is recently rolling onto her belly to sleep and when I roll her back over to her back she becomes really unsettled and won’t go back to sleep. we then repeat putting on her back-rolls to belly-I roll her ...

What works for your little ones to help them with cough please? I’ve tried everything now, baby vapour products like rub, bath bubbles, oil, candle, plug in, olbas oil, humidifier in the room, oil diffuser in the room, elevating the head during sleep. It’s mainly during the sleep time, my little girl has terrible...

Those who didn’t “sleep train” their kids and/or also co-slept, please give me some reassurance. I am struggling with my youngest’s sleep and at my wits end. I don’t want to hear her cry when I know she just wants to be in my arms and she will drop off with ease. I don’t want to deal with sleepless nights trying to ...

EBF: Anyone else feel they don't feed as much during the day? Baby is hungry but I feel I don't have much milk. Also, if we are out he will mainly sleep.. if you are out more than 3/4 hours do you tend to wake baby for feed?

My babe is 13months and her sleep isn’t great so would really like a couple nights off a week but also don’t want her to leave me as I still think she’s so young and needs me to be there when she wakes. We have a great co parenting relationship, and remain friends, I’ve stayed at my parents a few times and he’s stay...

Hello, my LO is just over 6 months. I'm an incredibly light sleeper and wake up almost hourly throughout the night with any small noise, even when LO doesn't need anything. When she's left alone with heavier sleepers like my husband or parents, they seem to have a great night and say LO slept straight through. I'm ...

Baby seems to be in pain and discomfort before bed. Suspected teething and congestion symptoms.. have tried Anbesol gel and vapour oils. But baby will only sleep after Calpol. This is almost every night for the past 2 weeks. Doesn't seem to need any in the day only at night before bed so only 1 dose a day. But worri...

My baby is 10 weeks old and I’m having a hard time with naps during the day. Up until this point I’ve been following his lead on when he wants to sleep etc. but he’s been refusing sleep during the day which leads to horrible nights. I try to my best to put him to nap but he’s just stares at me eyes wide open for hou...

I just need some reassurance before I have a little cry! Is anyone else experiencing awful bedtimes and nap times? I don’t know if it’s separation anxiety but my LG cries the second you leave her and going back up to her doesn’t help as she just wants to get out of the cot 😩 We’ve ended up on the sofa a few…

My newborn (4 weeks) has a snotty nose you can hear it so bad when she’s sleeping. We’ve tried saline drops, calpol plug in & a snot sucker but It doesn’t seem to be shifting .. any recommendations just wanna fix it for her

My little girl is now just over 6 months. She’s EBF and I’ve noticed she’s stopped feeding as frequently and as much, and doesn’t feed to sleep anymore. She’s would usually feed to sleep for naps and bedtime but now she feeds, fusses for a bit and will either unlatch and fall asleep slowly in my arms or need rocking...
