Any other toddler transitioned to no nap recently? If so how is the schedule on a day to day basis? How long are your toddlers sleeping over night?

Flat head

So my mil has pointed out my lo has a slight flattening of the side they lay on to feed. LO is 12 weeks old. He usually falls asleep as he feeds. I do all the tummy time etc and keep him off it in his awake windows. But it's still flatish. Anyone else had the same issue?

Sleeping through the night?

I see loads of people saying their babies sleep through the night! Like how… mine LG has never done that I’m EFB, she was going feeding twice in the night and could sleep for 5/6hrs at a time Now I’m not sure if she’s going through sleep regression because she’s up every 2 hrs for the last 3 weeks now. (5 wakes ...

Bottle at night

Anyone else’s lo still getting a bottle before bed? My lo takes 1.5 -3 hours to put down at night & I feel if we took the bottle away it would be even a bigger disaster lol

Wakes up crying 1 hour after going to bed???

Does anyone else's child wake up crying their eyes out about 1 hour after falling asleep at night??? And I mean he stirs and changes position like they do when they shift between sleep cycles, then starts absolutely wailing as if he's completely distraught about something. Sometimes I'm not even sure if he fully wak...

Has anyone's LO's completely dropped their naps?

I think my son might be ready to drop his nap. His sleep this week has been awful, and it's never been great to begin with. He's always gone to bed at 8pm and has been tired on the run up but this week it's been difficult to get him down before 10pm at the earliest, the other night he was awake til midnight and anot...

Crying for long periods

Anyone else's babe cry for long periods at night? Around the same time my baby cries about 7pm every night without fail. I've tried everything and although she does have gut issues, in my heart I don't think that's what is upsetting her. She's absolutely fine all day until bed time then cries for a few hours until s...

False starts

Anyone else's baby have a false start every single night? My little boy has at least one and sometimes 3 false starts over 2 hours before he finally goes down for the night. We've tried changing bedtime and wake windows both ways and it hasn't helped

Sleep Training

What is the big deal with sleep training?? I see posts about mums being desperate but refuse to do sleep training. This is by no means a dig im just thinking I’ve missed something.

Sleeping in next to me

My baby is finding it harder and harder to stay asleep in his next to me once transferred. I’m ending up having to sleep with him on my chest which is quite anxiety inducing so not getting a great sleep myself. How do I fix this so he sleeps in next to me? He’ll be 2 months on Wednesday. He’s 8.5 weeks currently

Nursery naps

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...
