Hiya ladies After seeing someone reccomend the app on here I've downloaded and tracked his naps for the day They've told me to put baby to sleep for 7pm even though that's only a 3 hr 15 wake window before bed. We usually do 4 hrs minimum? Should I stick with the 4 hrs or give the app suggestion a go? Anyone trie...

Can anyone else’s baby only manage 90 min wake windows? It’s becomes such hard work after that😅 LO is 20 weeks Sunday.

My twin girls are 2 and they have never woken up from naps nicely always screaming crying be it a nap in the car or in their cot they just never wake up nicely. Am I doing something wrong ? Please help

My 5 week old son seems to nap all day- we’re in a constant cycle throughout the day of wake-feed-change-sleep with ‘content’ wake windows that seem to be no more than 5-10 minutes. I haven’t been able to do any developmental play with him (e.g. tummy time, reading stories) and I’m worried he’s falling behind… but d...

I haven’t sleep trained my baby very much. He is getting used to sleeping in his bassinet drowsy but awake. But I haven’t been consistent. I don’t have an intentional routine but I swaddle him and stay in the baby room where it’s dark until he falls asleep. He sleeps usually 3 hours his first sleep and then after t...

Second baby just hit six weeks and has become a nap refusing tiny banshee. Pls tell me I am not alone 😂 I don’t remember my first being this wild at this stage!

Did anyone successfully sleep trained their little one? I co sleep but now that he is 6 months, want to move him to his cotbed. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Does anyone else’s baby still startle a lot whilst going to sleep? She’s nearly 12 weeks. With my first he lost his startle fairly early on and my daughters just seems a lot more extreme. We are having to wean off the love to dream swaddle as she’s showing signs of rolling so last night was pretty hard! Anyone else ...

Baby is having 3 hour plus day naps and I need to wake. Anyone else experiencing same? My first would nap for 30 mins max!

My 16 month old has always been a poor sleeper. In the last month though I’ve had to bring him into our bed when he wakes up screaming in the middle of the night. He’ll wake up crying if I try to get him back in his cot, and does the same with daytime naps so I now have to nap him in our bed. I know part of this is ...

Please add your reasons :) there’s no wrong or right answer just different parental approaches which work for each family x

My 22 month old has started climbing out of the crib so we’re moving him to a toddler/floor bed tonight, we’ve put up a stair gait too and baby proofed everywhere he can access upstairs. My worry is, what will stop him from now climbing over the stair gate when he can climb out of the crib? Do I need to shut his bed...

Hi! M baby girl is almost 9 months old, and it's been around 3 weeks that she keeps waking up 4-5 times at night crying. I mean she doesn't actually wake up, just starts to cry for some seconds and after I soothe her, she falls asleep but wakes again like two hours later . She's fell fed and I don't think there's so...

My son is 4.5 months old. He doesn’t sleep longer than 1 hour max 2 at a time at night. He keeps waking up. 9 times at night. I’m so exhausted. What should I do? Feed him more before bed? He also has slight reflux.

Please can you recommend any good sleep sacks. It’s time to change his sleep bag. He has been wearing Tommee Tippee gro bag. Would love any recommendations! TIA 🫶🏼

My 9 week old went down for a nap in his nursery for the first time. He soothed himself to sleep and he’s been down for 40 minutes so far 💪🏻💪🏻 time to get some housework done!

For those who have tonies pls could I have ideas of the shelves you’re using or how you’ve got your tonie and the toys. I’m thinking of a reading/tonies area x

Hi girls Ive read from the third trimester you’re meant to avoid sleeping on your back, but i wondered if any of you have been doing this already? I’ve also heard conflicting things about what side is best to sleep on - some saying left and some saying either is fine - what are you guys doing? Thank you! x

This week my daughter has started really properly walking, like toddling from room to room rather than just walking from the couch to the chair for example. Shes absolutely SHATTERED! Is this common? She slept from 8.20pm til 8.30am yesterday (shock of my life lol), then 2 hour nap I had to wake her from, slept all ...
