Hi! FTM here. My lo will be 4 weeks on Tuesday, and she has slept through the night the past 2 nights. She slept 9 hours one night and 8 hours last night. And she’s slept 7 hours one night last week. She was 2 weeks past her due date, so all the milestone apps consider her 6 weeks. According to Dr. Google, she’s wa...

Wake to feed or feed when they wake

My 10 month old loves a contact nap and I love them too! Everyone around me seems to have such an opinion on me “needing to get him to nap in his cot” and I just don’t want to! He goes down fine at night and I figure he’s soon going to be too big to sleep on me so I’m making the most of it. Is anyone else just going...

Hi guys. My little boy is 8 months now and last night I think he had a night terror but it was so freaky I wasn't sure if I needed to ring 111. He started screaming in his sleep, like a blood curdling scream. We tried everything to wake him up gently and nothing worked. So I picked him up in the hope it would sooth ...

Is anyone else having a hard time with bedtime with their little one?

Does anyone else’s 7 month old still wake up in night crying and only settles after he’s had bottle?

We're over 6 weeks in.... is this still the regression or just appalling sleep?! Longest we get is a 3 hr stretch then it gets shorter and shorter Not sure if it's because he sleeps too much in the daytime? He does 3.5 hrs on average of combined nap time and 3 / 4 naps
