Community Posts, Tips & Support on Baby Sleep

I just wanted to post and ask if anyone has had their babies fall asleep for long stretches at 12 weeks or not. Over the past few days my LO has been sleeping between 8.5 to 9.5 hours straight before waking up on their own to be changed and fed. Then once they're back down to sleep, they will sleep for a few hours,...

I have been rocking my 8 week old baby to sleep for daytime naps. Everything I read says to put baby down drowsy but if I do that in the daytime he is wide awake immediately, and often upset. Am I missing something? Any suggestions on how to do this better? I’m worried he’ll get use to being rocked to sleep, but...

Help! How do you sleep or rest with early labour I cannot lay down as the pain is too intense, any tips please!

my baby is 4 week old and wakes every 2-3 hours. Just wondering how long other babies of similar age are going in the night. 💚💛

For those of you who have moved bub into own room, did you do a transition? Or did you just put them in there without a transition? Tia x

My girls not long turned 5 months and she’s just learnt to roll back to front, but can’t roll front to back yet and I keep finding her at night time practising her rolling🤣 but she can’t get back, luckily she sleeps in her cot with a side taken down next to our bed so I can hear every movement and turn her right…

Any other toddler transitioned to no nap recently? If so how is the schedule on a day to day basis? How long are your toddlers sleeping over night?

Anyone else's babe cry for long periods at night? Around the same time my baby cries about 7pm every night without fail. I've tried everything and although she does have gut issues, in my heart I don't think that's what is upsetting her. She's absolutely fine all day until bed time then cries for a few hours until s...

How and when did everyone transition baby from arms in to arms out when swaddling at night time? Thanks!

Is it killing anyone else?! My boy is now waking at 4/5am every morning & currently wide awake when normal bedtime is usually 7pm. We had cracked his sleep for about a month of sleeping through… now this! I need to know it ends!

My son has been rocked to sleep (or some sort of movement) pretty much since birth and it works for us. He sleeps 12 hours overnight and has 2 naps. Rocking him to sleep literally takes under 3 minutes. He started going to nursery 2 days a week and his nursery room leader has said they don’t rock kids to sleep, ins...

If you have toddler bed/single bed for toddler, do you have stair gate on top of stairs or at their bedroom door or none at all? I’m scared incase she wakes in night and tries to go downstairs in the dark. Hoping to transition out of cot. Thanks

Anyone else experiencing massive regressions in night time sleep at the moment? Little one is a week off 10 months and for the past good few weeks night time sleep is an absolute nightmare! He’s never been the best sleeper but always slept in his cot maybe with 1 wake up through the night. He will wake shortly aft...

So for background. My daughter will be 10 months this week. From 10 weeks old she has slept through in her own bedroom. The past four nights, once she is placed into her cot for bedtime she cries. Well as soon as she goes into the room, it’s like she knows and starts crying. I’ve done the whole putting her back do...

My LB goes nuts during nappy changes. Usually cries and tries to roll over.. it’s been 10 months I thought he would understand nappy change time now? Is this normal at this age? Anyone have any tips? I usually do try to give him something in his hands, doesn’t always work. Eventually I want him to understand nappy c...

My son is 17 months and has never slept well. I co sleep with him and he wakes up every hour or two. I can’t leave his side all night even to go to the bathroom. I have to take him with me if I need to go, literally. I can’t even change or wash my face before bed. He wakes up at 5:30am. He has a nighttime routine an...

What works for your little ones to help them with cough please? I’ve tried everything now, baby vapour products like rub, bath bubbles, oil, candle, plug in, olbas oil, humidifier in the room, oil diffuser in the room, elevating the head during sleep. It’s mainly during the sleep time, my little girl has terrible...

My babe is 13months and her sleep isn’t great so would really like a couple nights off a week but also don’t want her to leave me as I still think she’s so young and needs me to be there when she wakes. We have a great co parenting relationship, and remain friends, I’ve stayed at my parents a few times and he’s stay...

My newborn (4 weeks) has a snotty nose you can hear it so bad when she’s sleeping. We’ve tried saline drops, calpol plug in & a snot sucker but It doesn’t seem to be shifting .. any recommendations just wanna fix it for her

My little girl is now just over 6 months. She’s EBF and I’ve noticed she’s stopped feeding as frequently and as much, and doesn’t feed to sleep anymore. She’s would usually feed to sleep for naps and bedtime but now she feeds, fusses for a bit and will either unlatch and fall asleep slowly in my arms or need rocking...
