Multiple wake ups

Anyone experiencing frequent wake ups, like crying wake ups with baby on their belly? It’s too early in the night for her to want a feed, and when I pick her up her eyes are shut so it’s like she’s not even fully awake. I’ll resettle and transfer her and then like 10-15mins later after she’s rolled over again she’ll...

Advice/Rambling

Last nap

So my daughter is 8 months old and has stopped taking her last nap of the day by 5pm and would sometimes get so tired by 5:30/6pm but her bedtime is usually around 8:30-9pm - should I let her take a short nap at 5/6pm or keep her awake from the previous nap when she wakes up around 3pm? Then she’s awake for 5 hours,...

I have no idea what to do about naps

My boy is still on 2 naps, but needs to drop to one now. The only problem is that in the mornings, he is ready for his nap after 3.5 hours! He gets SO grumpy. Wakes at 8am. Nap at 11.30 - 12.30 (it's always 1 hour like clockwork!) Then bedtime at 7.30, meaning he will be awake for 7 hours! Is that okay? Is t...

Bed time

What time does your 12 month old go to bed? Our little girl goes to bed at 8 because we eat together when my partner gets home, so we finish eating around 7 and then I like to leave an hour before bedtime just for food to go down. Is that too late?

6 month sleep regression impact sleep training?

I did sleep training when my LO was 5 months as she went through the 4 month regression for about 8 weeks. We managed to do so well and she was at a point where she would just put herself to sleep when we put her down for bedtime and naps. We then went away and since coming home it's like she's completely forgotten ...
