Sleep Schedule?

How are you managing your sleep schedule with your newborn? My husband goes back to work soon and we have no clue how to go about making sure we both get enough rest. What did you do? 🫣

Transition to baby’s room - no sleep training

So my baby is almost 7 months old, sleeps in a bassinet next to my bed in our bedroom. When she was younger I used to be able to just put her in the bassinet in the dark room and go and she would play until falling asleep, but now I have to put her to sleep. She can fall asleep during nursing, a walk in the stroller...

Pooing after every bottle

Has anyone experienced this. My LO is 3 weeks old but the last couple of days she’s been pooing after every bottle and it smells really bad? I’m not registered with a gp as I’ve just moved back to my parents so should I worry? Should I call 111?

I didn’t have this anxiety about walking with my first born. And yes, we do exercises daily and all. The things. She stands on her legs and holds onto ...

Nap time struggles?

My normally very happy 2 year old the past few days decided to fight nap time...I'm talking screaming and crying super upset. What used to take about 5 minutes with a book and a cuddle now takes an hour of struggle. 😭 We are on vacation, so I hope it is just the change in scenery. Anyone else having similar issues…

Feeling behind...

Anyone else feel like you and your baby are so behind on everyone else. My daughter just hit 10 weeks but we can still barely do any playing and tummy time etc because she's just not one to be happy long enough. She talks and smile with me but she's never shown any interest in anything else really. I feel like other...

Daughter crying in her sleep

My 11 month old keeps crying in the middle of the night but she isn’t moving. She seems to be asleep but will keep doing it on and off for like an hour. I get up to go in there and look at the monitor and she’s out again, so I lay back down. 15 minutes later she starts crying again. We don’t know what to do. When we...

Sleep Regression

Sometimes I feel like my son is already going through the 4 months sleep regression. He was sleeping and waking every three hours to eat at night but some recent night he’s been having a hard time going back to sleep since 1 or 3am. Are some nights tougher for everyone?
