I feel like I’m going mad/doing something wrong, although health visitor says it’s normal. I keep hearing people say their babies are sleeping through the night. My 10 month old has NEVER slept through and every night he wakes between 3 (on a good night) and 7-8 times. I cannot do sleep training, I guess I’m just ho...

How are we all transitioning to 2 naps? I tried yesterday but come 2pm he was stressed and hysterically crying at me and clearly overtired. He’s 8 months

I cannot even believe this but before the clocks went forward by LO used to sleep and then he hit a regression literally the day after and it lasted months! We finally sorted his sleep and naps out and he’s usually in bed time clockwork. But since Sunday he’s waking up at like 4am, he’s only napping for 45 minutes a...

Just had 9 month dr visit. Our pediatrician told us he needs to stop falling asleep with the bottle in his mouth and to take it away when he’s drowsy. The second bottle is taken away even when he’s half asleep it’s a meltdown. Any tips on transitioning to falling asleep without bottle?

My 7 week baby doesn’t want to sleep in bassinet or cot at all. I have tried swaddle, bath, rocking, feeding, dark room, sound machine.. literally everything but 10 minutes in, baby is screaming and wants to be held Is this normal? I can’t even use the toilet for a second, I haven’t eaten or drink properly in days...

I'm still nurse my 18 month old before bed and lately he went from a great sleeper to waking up at least once a night, sometimes taking 2/3h to go back to sleep and wanting to nurse, so dad is not enough. He eats very well his solids and gets milk with dinner. My question is how can I do a gentle sleep training wi...

How long do your little ones nap ? He definitely not ready to drop his nap but I think he might benefit from it being Shorter 😬

My baby is 8 weeks old and I have just given her a dummy. I have avoided giving her one so far but she is quite grouchy at the moment and is trying to suck her hands and will even try to get my finger to her mouth to suckle. She has settled straight away since I give it to her. I’m looking for advice as I don’t want...

What is people’s opinion on this method of training? I completely disagree with it and think it’s cruel and emotionally damaging to the baby and toddler.

How much daytime sleep does your LO have typically?

What time does your little ones go to bed? Our little one goes to bed around 8pm, sometimes she doesn't go to sleep until 8:30 (depending on how long it takes her). We usually get her up at 6:45am to get ready for 7:30 drop off before I go to work. But she is just a nightmare to get up in the mornings. Sometimes s...

My lg has started nursery but she’s not settling there at all- she won’t eat and won’t sleep because she’s crying. I don’t know how to help her settle there. When I picked her up she looked so relieved and was happy again but was in desperate need of milk and a nap because she won’t have it there😭 does anyone have…

I've been hearing many couples sleep in separate rooms post partum so at least one person can get some sleep. We live in a small one bed flat so don't have the luxury of a spare room or bed, just the sofa! Have others found this to be an issue?!

Is anyone else really struggling transitioning from 2 naps to 1 nap? My 16 month old gets tired sooo easily and overtired and it seems impossible to extend her wake window. But she’s been waking up sometimes before 6am in the mornings so I thought maybe she was getting too much sleep during the day with her 2 naps?...

Do you wake your 7 months up at a set time in the morning? Or allow them to wake up whenever they want too?

It’s our month mamas!! 🩵🩷 Is everyone planning to do nightfeeds in the bedroom with baby or in their nursery/downstairs? Also - what’s everyone’s bedroom set up? I currently only have snuzpod next to me, groegg thermometer on my bedside & white noise machine? Do I need anything else? Nappy Caddy/trolley is…

Have you or when will you stop recording sleep, feeds, etc?

Does anyone else’s LO go through phases where they will go down fine. Then a phase where they cry when being put down? And repeat? My LO was going down fine and now on a crying phase.

What are we doing if babies last bottle before bed doesn’t line up with the time they go down to bed for the night? My daughter now does a longer first stretch usually and I’m just wondering are we doing a top up feed before bed if the last bottle isn’t around bedtime or are we just waiting and seeing when they want...

My sons always been a live wire and has been napping once a day for 45 mins since he was 9 months old. Hes now 19 months old and he’s totally cut out his naps! Is anyone else’s wee one doing this? Feel like it’s still so young to be cutting the nap but he’s doing it on his own. Whenever we try to get him to sleep ...
