Won't sleep in crib

Our 21 month old has been refusing to sleep in her crib / her own room. So we've started co-sleeping which is fine in the short term but it means she's getting less sleep at night and we have no time in the evenings anymore. Anyone have tips for getting LO back in their room?

Naps

Hello, my baby used to sleep until 6:30-7:30am and has 2 naps of around 2h in total. This week he has been fighting his first nap, I managed to put him to sleep but with some crying or complaining first. He has also been waking up at 5am in the morning. Can it be a sleep regression or maybe it is time to drop a nap?...

Sleeping

My baby does not take good naps in the day time at all he’s 5 months and he’ll stay up all day with like a 10 minute nap one time it’s very rare for him to even nap for an hour throughout the day but at night he sleeps 10pm to 11am?

Naps

How am I supposed to reduce my 6month olds naps when she's waking at 5am and not going back to sleep. She's still on 4 naps and only naps for half an hour still. I'm literally at my wits end. I feel like she's now broken into a new sleep regression, waking multiple times a night again. Then when 5am hits she's r...

LO still needing drink at night

I don't know what to do. My 14 month old refuses to go to sleep without her sippy. She gets cows milk, but I know she can't have it after brushing teeth. She refuses to drink plain water, and juice has to much sugar in it.

Sleeping Through the Night

My LO is 3 1/2 months and the past 2 weeks he has started sleeping through the night. 9pm to anywhere between 6-7am. I exclusively pump and bottle feed. Does anyone else dream feed their baby at this age when they sleep through the night?

More wake ups

3 month old used to do 4 hour stint and then 3. Now he wakes up multiple times a night and is really hard to put down. I think he's too young for regression. So I'm thinking of introducing a dream feed around 10.30. Does anyone else do this?

Can’t go on like this - long read but needed to get this off my chest

I can’t do this anymore. I’ve had a really rough year. Awful pregnancy, premature/NICU baby, cancer scares. I have a very emotional 3 year old who has to sleep in my bed otherwise she wakes every 20 mins. My son is most likely in the 4 month regression as he’s just turned 4 months corrected age. He’s had non stop he...

Sleep

If your baby has had a bad nights sleep do you let them sleep in or wake them up at the same time each morning regardless

Overtired?

So my newborn literally hasn’t slept for more than 15 minutes in 4 hours. She’ll wake up and be hungry so I’ll change her, feed her, burp her, and then try to transfer her to the crib and that’s when she always wakes up and usually the pacifier will soothe her back asleep but she keeps pushing it back out and throwi...
