Baby waking up at 5am

Hello mommas! My 5 month old baby has been waking up at 5am for 2 weeks now. He goes to bed around 6-7pm. Yesterday I tried letting him sleep later like 7:45, and still he woke up at 5am. He still takes 3 naps and takes 2hr every wake window. 1st nap usually lasts 1.5hrs, 2nd nap 1hr, 3rd nap 30-45 mins. I’m worried...

Milk to fall asleep

What does bedtime look like for your 14m? How did you get them to go to sleep without milk? We want to eventually transition to her just having milk after she finishes dinner, then bath/brush teeth/book/bed by 7:30/8pm. We got my 14m daughter off drinking from bottles a while ago, just has a sippy cup of whole milk...

Feeling like a bad partner

I think me and my boyfriend are going through a bit of a room mate phase and I hate it. He's out at work all day then comes home and does the whole bedtime routine with our LG. She then sleeps on me for the evening so he then makes us our dinner, tidies the kitchen, lets the dog out in the garden when needed and al...

Eat, sleep, repeat

Anyone else’s newborn want to be attached to the boob the whole time they’re awake? Baby T is our second little one and he’s so different from our first son. ( which is totally fine)

Sleep - leaving the room tactics

I’m at my last tether. My lo is still BF to sleep which I need to move away from. When I put him down he’s fast asleep but as soon as I leave the room and a little floorboard creeks he wakes up right away and cries for me to settle him - I do settle him and then the same thing happens - our house is old and creeky. ...

Sleep Training worked for us! Here are 5 things I Learned! 💤

We struggled hard, pretty much since birth. He was never a good sleeper. So we decided to pay for a virtual sleep trainer and let me tell you, worth the cost in our case (though it killed me initially). We went from waking every 2 hours to sleeping through the night (12 hours straight!) by making a few tweaks. Here ...

Rolling over at night

My LO is now in her own room in a bigger cot. She seems to be happy in there except she wakes herself up rolling over and gets frustrated trying to settle herself back. I watch in the monitor and only intervene if she starts crying or is stuck. She mainly sleeps on tummy or sides now and seems to prefer this. When...

Bedtime routine

My baby has always been held to sleep but the past few nights even when she’s really tired she’s just messing about when I’m cuddling her to sleep. So 3 nights ago I ended up just putting her in her cot and letting her cry till she went to sleep (the crying was less than 10 minutes) The same happened last night she...
