Baby sleep issues

Has anyone used a sleep consultant before? My little boy used to be a good sleeper but recently has completely gone downhill. He keeps rolling on his belly in his cot and screaming about it despite being able to roll back! If I go in and roll him over he just laughs at me, but if I leave him on his belly he gets ang...

Boredom at 4m

Is anyone else dealing with all round boredom at 4 months? It just feels like my little one is constantly bored and I am too… Like I’ll read her books, do tummy time, rattle toys, nursery rhymes, noisy toys, and she still needs more! It’s just constant, especially as naps are 30/40 mins tops. Regrettably, I result...

My goal is to give her bottles in the n...

Those with other children:

Need some advice/help. My little girl is 3 and she still needs one of us to sit and watch her go to sleep, which can take an hour, sometimes two on really bad nights. Little one is due next month and I’m worried about how I’m gonna manage when my partner is working nights. I don’t think I’ll be able to sit in my dau...

New born play time?

I have a 5 week old little girl and find myself with overwhelming guilt that I haven’t done enough to stimulate her. The HV visitor says that we should be doing tummy time, singing to her, etc. and I do… but atm she sleeps majority of the time still and the window of opportunity to these things are limited. Often sh...

Mums I desperately need your nap advice …

My boy usually does 4/5 30 minute naps and sleeps from 7pm to 6.30am. I know what you’re thinking that must be lovely that he sleeps well at night and it is but I’m really struggling in the day. He’s now doing 20 min naps with a 1hr 30 wake window. I’m guessing this is because he doesn’t have enough sleep pressur...
