My 5 month breastfed baby wakes up between 3-4 times a night for feeds. I feed him to sleep and he feeds well in the day. I am so tired and finding it mentally draining because as soon as I fall into a deep sleep I am up again. Any tips which may help for longer stretches?

Is anyone else’s baby having a super long afternoon nap? My baby sometimes only naps twice in a day. The odd time will do 3 naps. Morning nap is always quite short maybe 30 mins at most. Sometimes another quick 20/30 min nap around 11am. The last nap of the day is always her longest sometimes we’re talking 3 hours...

I was looking at kyte but they’re just so pricey!! Does anyone have any they love/ does anyone swear by kyte?

If you have a 7-8 week old who sleeps through the night can you tell me your 24 hour schedule? Mine still wakes every two hours to eat a little but doesn’t empty each side.

Anyone moved to a duvet and pillow for their little ones? My little girl is 18 months and still in her cot, thinking of transitioning to a duvet, didn’t know what was recommended

My baby just won’t sleep during day he plays about, cries, gets overtired, screams and honestly tried everything and he just won’t go. I’m finding it so hard not to get stressed and upset but it’s really getting to me as I’m physically and mentally drained I feel like crying! Anyone have any advice? Does this get ...

So… my baby is 13 months now and we still cuddle him to sleep every night. He has a bottle in the dark (noise machine and lullaby) then falls asleep on my partner or myself and once he’s asleep he is placed in his cot. It’s getting exhausting now 😂 I wouldn’t mind and actually LOVE cuddling him to sleep when he…

How often are you changing nappy if out and about specifically the whole day? Im talking wet nappy not dirty :)

Hiya ladies Anyone switched to 1 nap? We switched to 2 naps at 6.5 months and now at 9 months I feel like he's ready but I'm doubting myself cause google says not till 1 year! But he's so awake at the end of each wake window it's a mission to put him to sleep and he's been doing crazy split nights! He does nap once...

For context, I’m 39 weeks pregnant with a 3.5 year old. My daughter has always slept badly, needs a lot of support to fall asleep, wakes in the night and needs me to go and comfort her or comes into our bed. I honestly don’t mind it, however I’m worried about how we’re going to manage this with a newborn! If she k...

I work nights so my bf is the one with the baby at night. I can tell he’s getting frustrated by the amount of times she keeps waking up. She’s 9 months. She wakes up to feed about 2 times at night he gives her a bottle and she goes right back to sleep. Recently, she’s been staying awake after the bottle for an hour....

Hi! My LO (10 weeks old) fights sleep with all his power. He will only fall asleep if we rock him and shush him, otherwise he can stay awake for hours until he becomes overtired. In the evening we have a routine: bath, eat, sleep, but he still needs rocking and he screams bloody murder until he falls asleep, and fro...

I’ve just started sleep training my 11 month old as advised by a sleep consultant as she won’t sleep independently and is waking a lot in the night to feed (breastfeed). I believe it’s become a bit of a habit and I’m hoping to go back to work, therefore I want to stop breastfeeding and get us sleeping better. I hate...

Those having their second, are you buying new cot mattresses etc for new baby? I know guidance is to if second hand but just wondering as I’ve only had mine for 1.5 years and still very firm and not worn out so wondering if I need new. Feeling so unprepared with my second!

Just out of curiosity where are your babies sleeping in the day for their naps? I'm trying to introduce one nap a day in her room in her cot, swaddled and white noise on. But still want some contact naps!

How many naps is your 11 month old on?

So my little one is almost 7 weeks, she's got silent reflux so is in pain when lying flat, she hates the bassinet of the pram because obviously it hurts her, im wanting to put her in the seat, obviously reclined but is it safe? Can't find anything online x

I have a small bedroom so space isn’t a luxury… I’m looking at getting a 120x60 cot for baby is this big enough or is it worth getting the normal 140x70 size?

Still can’t shake the feeling of needing to wake him even though I’ve been told I don’t have to! My boy will sleep anywhere between 4-7hrs for his first stretch of sleep. He’s over birth weight following his growth curve and feeding plenty during the day with plenty wet/soiled nappies. I am fully appreciating the sl...

How long is everyone’s little ones having now? In the day?
