Sleeping on front

Anyone else’s baba doing this? Mine is still in his next to me due to lack of space in our house but looking to get a space saver for very soon! But despite not having a lot of space he still manages to roll over onto his front and falls asleep that way 🙈

EBF what does your day look like?

I EBF my 4 month old but have slow weight gain, and have been told to try and get another feed in (even though she’s pretty happy 🤷🏻‍♀️). At the moment we have 7 feeds a day, 5 ‘eat play sleep’ during the day every 3-ish hrs, a dream feed at 10pm ish and one (occasionally two, but rarely) over night that she wakes…

What are we doing during wake windows? I feel like we’re always just kicking around on his activity mat or fisher price piano mat. Anything else I can do with a 9 week old?

How long does it take to get your LO to sleep at night time?

For naps my little boy takes at most 20 minutes but for about 3 weeks now it’s been taking him 45 mins-1.5hrs to get to sleep at night time. We have even pushed his bedtime back 30 mins as he just wasn’t sleepy previously but hasn’t made a difference really.

Is this normal?

My LO seems really off the past few days. He doesn't want to lay down and play at all, he just wants to be held and walked around the house all day otherwise he screams. He's also sleeping A LOT, by the time he wakes up hes crying and wanting to go back to nap again. He's gone from having 3.5hr nap days to 5hr nap ...

MIL says baby is spoiled?

My baby is really having trouble with sleeping recently. We switched from the Snoo to a regular bassinet and we are working on weaning him off of the swaddle because he’s rolling. Plus sleep regression. There’s a lot going on. So in my mind, sleep troubles are to be expected rn. But MIL and SIL have mentioned that t...

Randomly not napping in crib

My son had been napping perfectly since 6 months (he is almost 13 months). Normally we change his diaper, get him a bottle and lay him down in his nursery with the blinds closed and his sound machine. Today the second he saw we were going into his room he screamed and threw his head back. He refused his bottle. I tr...

Putting down to naps with toddler

What is everyone doing with their toddler when they put baby down for a nap? I feel like I’m either constantly shushing my toddler or leaving them in the other room while I put baby to sleep. Sometimes it takes me 15 minutes sometimes 30-45 depending on if I’m feeding too. It’s just too long to stay away from my 3 y...

Pregnancy insomnia

I need tricks to help me sleep. I'm constantly tired but when I try and go to bed it can take me and hour and a half to actually fall asleep. Everytime I wake up it feels like I'm wide awake. I've tried melentonin but it doesn't seem to help me at all. I'm a super tired mama with a one year old and need the energy t...

Nap Time

Hi! My 9 month old transitioned to a new room at daycare where they are wanting to get her on a slightly different schedule. They are really aiming for naps at 9am and 12pm. This feels so close together to me and doesn’t align w so many other sample schedules I’ve seen online! She is struggling with it also bc she d...

Tried sleep training last night, worst night ever. What do I dooooo

My 10 month old still is waking me up every 2-3 hours to nurse at night (after one 3 or 4 hour stretch first), and I'm physically and mentally just falling apart from the lack of sleep. I tried cosleeping, and I just can't sleep well with her next to me, plus it doesn't lessen the wake ups. We decided to try Ferber ...

Naps

How are your 1 month olds napping?? We do a lot of contact naps, carrier naps, or in the swing or snuggle me (all supervised) but I know we need to do more bassinet/crib naps. This is my 2nd but I feel like I forgot everything when it comes to sleep 😵‍💫😵‍💫
