Hello all, Please can anyone advise me on something. I can't seem to figure out my girl's sleeping routine. I'll explain how she goes through the day, and tell me what I need to do to make it better, please! (Because she is awake at night, she sleeps through the morning.) She'll wake up at 12 p.m., has a nap from ...

Hey everyone, My 5 week old baby is constantly straining and kicking her legs in the night. This isn't like usual newborn grunting it's like she's in a lot of pain. She eventually will start screaming and wailing in what feels like pain to me. She's EBF, I'm winding her after every feed, doing bicycle legs etc. Sh...

Hey yall I have a 9mo girl. I live in NC; right now we got some cold weather during the night. I already put a onesie underneath her sleeper. I was just wondering can I put a blanket on her yet? Or is it too dangerous?

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...

Is it normal for a baby to grunt and squirm during their sleep? I can barely sleep as I always think she’s in pain

I have a 14 month old who I have always rocked to sleep. I recently started to just lay him in his crib because he tries to push himself off when I rock him and wants down because he doesn’t want to go to bed. I put him in his crib with his favorite stuffed animal and blankie but as soon as I do he screams his head ...

What is the best way to wake up my baby to feed? She’s a newborn and has lost a little too much weight, but I’m having trouble waking her up to eat. What are some good ways to do that??

Does your LO still use a bottle at night for milk? Or am I doing something wrong? Just saw a post about how their LO doesn’t and hasn’t since 1. Am I bad mom ? lol Is he supposed to using a sippy cup at night time?

My 8 and a half month old still wakes during the night for a bottle. Told my HV today and she was shocked and told me he shouldn’t be needing a fed throughout the night. Does anyone else’s LO do the same? Not sure if it’s a comfort thing at this point as he’s a terrible sleeper and always ends up in my bed during th...

How did you start getting your baby into a sleep routine and how young were they when you started? My baby is literally up from like 9am till 1am at night? Need help

Hi 👋 Looking for some advice/tips. I’ve been partly cosleeping with my Son since he was 6 months old (He would sleep in his bassinet/pack n play and around 3am he’d wake up and I’d put him in bed with me) Now, he will only stay in his pack n play in our room for an hour at the most. Then he comes to bed with…

Is anyone else really still struggling with sleep, basically no structure at night time at all? My LG naps 11-12:30/1 every day, bed is at 7pm give or take. But we have the most unpredictable night sleep every night and honestly it’s slowly killing me off. She’ll either be up crying on and off until 1/2am (like t...

Baby is 7 month old and tonight after falling asleep I try to put her in her crib but As soon as I do she wakes up 😱 we have been doing this since 8pm. I don’t know what else to do.

My girl is turning one next week 😭 and I know I should update/upgrade her sleeping arrangements soon. Right now she is in a 47x47 pen on the ground that has a mini crib mattress and a few toys. It has been THE BEST (for me) but now she’s almost outgrown the mattress. Does anyone have a similar situation? (pic of…

I’ve been cosleeping with my boy since week 1 and we love it! I love our cuddles so much, can’t get enough. He is almost 6 weeks old and I don’t have any intention to stop in the near future. However I would love a better daytime nap routine so I can do some stuff around the house and eventually get work done. My ba...

Anyone else still doing contact naps at 1+ years old? I enjoy them still so I’m not looking to transition my baby to independent sleep just yet. I do wonder if it’s normal though.

Looking for advice as im starting to panic… I feel so awful that i missed this and never checked it until now! My LB is 10 months old and started nursery a month ago now for 3 days a week. When we viewed this nursery earlier in the year it seemed amazing. Its brand new and seemed so unique and exciting. Today m...

My baby is 5 weeks on Saturday. He usually had a fussy period between 5/6pm-9pm when we put him in his cot to sleep. It’s not happening in the morning also, between 9-12. Then in the afternoon he is absolutely fine. He fusses, sometimes refuses the bottle but is hungry, we struggle to soothe him. It’s so exhausti...

My daughter has woken up for the second time since went through bed just before 8. I'm now in my bed with her ( cosleep once I go up in the evening as it's the only way to get some sleep). She's never slept well, always wakes between 3 and 8 times in the night I'd say. I have another baby soon and feel so hopeless. ...

Hi mummy's! As we all know it's starting to get colder, I have my heating on a lot during the day and evening but it can't be on 24/7 as I'm a single mum and bills are expensive. Any suggestions on what to put on baby overnight to keep him warm? Or any general suggestions on how to keep baby warm without me having t...
