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.

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...

I know they say comparison is the thief of joy but it’s so hard NOT to compare. I see so many people say their babies are sleeping 5 or more hours at night by this age (9 weeks). And my baby isn’t. He sleeps at most 3 hours now. But it’s been mostly 2.5 at a time. And I feel like I’m doing something wrong. I hate th...

My 5 month old is ALWAYS tired and I’m finding it so hard to do things with her as she’s getting tired 30/40 mins max after waking. She used to be a really good napper but a few works ago started doing the 30 - 40 mins max naps and is harder to settle to get them in however within 30/40 mins of waking she’s wanting ...

My little boy is 14 weeks old and he relies on his dummy to get to sleep the past week or so his been waking up multiple times in the night for me to put his dummy back in his mouth but as soon as it falls out or he knocks it out he will cry until I give it to him. Do I completely get rid of the dummy ? Our sleep ha...

anyone else's 4 year old been extra emotional the last week or so and struggling to go to sleep on a night ? is it a phase ??

Hi, my 12 week old is 16lbs and nearly 2.5ft long and has nearly grown out of his next to me crib, I know I should keep him in my room until 6 months but I can’t move his cot into our room due to lack of space. Any recommendations of bigger next to me cribs or suggestions on what I should do

My 9 week old is only doing contact nap, the moment I lay him down he wakes up in 5 minutes but can contact nap for hours. He was sleeping in his snooz pod until he was 6-7ish weeks, it changed over last few weeks. I love holding him but it’s so hard to eat or even go to toilet when he is contact napping. Anyone go...

So for the past month or so my little boy 20 months old had been kicking and screaming when getting his bum changed, he gets so angry he’s started biting his hands and clothes. I’m at my whits end. Has anyone got any advise on how I can make it easier for the both of us 😅

So my little one has 2 naps a day and goes to be around 7 he’s always tired enough i ensure there’s been a long enough wake window he wakes up maybe once before i go to bed for his dummy to be put back in however these past two nights he’s woken up in hysterics around an hour after i’ve put him to bed, he won’t let ...

My baby is 10 weeks tomorrow, and she was sleeping in her bassinet just fine. She would wake at 3:30-4 for a feeding and then back to sleep. The last 2 nights however, she’s been up about every hour… WHY. ANYONE ELSE GOING THROUGH THIS?

My babe naps for half an hour and no more, but it’s multiple times a day. And now at night she wakes up every 20 minutes? Am I doing something wrong? She always thinks she needs to eat at night but it’s really just latching to go back to sleep, making me have to co sleep but I’m not sleeping because who can. During ...

Does anyone else’s baby just never relax? Like she is literally on the go 24/7 she stops to sleep but the second she’s awake she sits bolt upright and is looking on how she can crawl away and start playing?

Why do they sleep like this? 😂

Has anyone else dropped from 2 to 1 naps and found that their baby is waking more overnight as a result? I don’t know whether it’s coincidence. He was fighting 2 naps a day, so I’ve dropped to 1 but now he’s waking more overnight and I’m not sure what to do. Any words of wisdom / advice greatly appreciated!

Hey, so as soon as my little one turned 6 months we transitioned his next to me to a cot. Since then he has refused to sleep in his cot for naps and night sleep. Other than the cry out method I’ve tried everything to get him to sleep independently. Even the naps now have gotten worse sometimes he wants to be held th...

Sometimes my baby boy is fast asleep then does a loud cry, wakes himself up then once he is awake he stops? I am holding him while this happens so maybe that’s why he stops when he wakes up as he knows I’m there. Could this just be because while he’s asleep he doesn’t realise I’m there? Or is he having a mini nigh...

The past few nights, baby has been waking after 5 hours sleep and has been hard to get back down to sleep. Previously baby slept around 9 hours straight. Baby will now only go back to sleep after having a bottle. Does anyone have any tips to stop baby waking and wanting a bottle in the middle of the night?

Anyone else struggling with their baby randomly waking up screaming? My daughter was sleeping through the night and has been for 2 - 3 months now. All of sudden, she started randomly waking up (different times every night) screaming. We take her a paci and lay her back down, but she just cries until one of us goes a...

My baby wakes up around 5am, has a feed and goes back to sleep until 7/7:30am. But because of the feed he isn’t hungry when he wakes for the day and not really interested in his bottle at all. Does this happen to anyone else? I’ve already reduced the bottle from 8oz to 5oz but it hasn’t made much difference
