Does anyone else's baby do this?!

Even though my baby is in the crib next to me, I have a monitor as it has night vision and it's easier to just open my eyes and look instead of getting up to check on him all the time 🙈 Anyway, I just glanced at the monitor and saw he was gone 😱 completely freaked out, jumped out of bed and saw he'd turned himself…

Sleep Training on their own

When did you start helping your baby learn to sleep on their own? What approach did you use, and how long did it take before they were fully sleeping independently? My daughter usually falls asleep while breastfeeding, so I’m not always able to practice sleep training consistently every night. Thanks for any tips! 💕

Dad's not helping at night?

Hi, what are people's thoughts about dads helping out at night? My little boy is 4 weeks old and my partner has gone back to work this week.

Sleep issues

LO is refusing to sleep at reasonable times (currently still trying to get him to bed). We have a 5 week old baby and sleep has been a big issue in the last 2 weeks. He skips naps on some days but will still go to sleep at 10pm. I am so sleep deprived and looking to find a way to resolve this. Does anyone have advice?

Baby won’t contact nap anymore

Is this normal? It wasn’t so long ago we were all complaining babies will ONLY contact nap. Seems my boy is already at n age where he can’t / won’t do that anymore. He has to be left alone and undisturbed to nap. I can’t remember the last time he fell asleep on me. Anyone else?!

Am I being over the top
