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 😵‍💫😵‍💫

Does your toddler still wake up crying?

My 2 1/2 year old son still wakes up crying every morning and after most naps. What is that about? He's rarely alone and goes to sleep with a cup, his teddies, and lullaby playing. He is rarely woken up before he's ready/woken up at all but he still wakes up crying like a newborn. Does anyone's toddler still do th...

5 days PP, It was another sleepless night

Not because of the newborn this time but because I'm having body aches and muscle pain. It's hard for me to get comfortable 24/7. I'm hoping it goes away as I recover. It feels much like pulled muscles all over. Tylenol and ibuprofen doesn't help.

Nap vs feed schedule

How is everyone balancing their little one’s naps and feeding schedules?? As an example my 3 week old daughter’s last feed started at 11.40, she finally fell asleep for her nap at 1.20 so she was awake for 1hr50mins. If we adhere to the 3 hour feed schedule she would start her next feed around 2.40 which gives her 4...
