Sleep Routine

My 7 month old goes to bed at 7-730 pm and sleeps for 3-4 hours and then is up every 2 hours after. His wake up time is 7am, first nap 9:30 am, then between 12:30 - 1:00 pm, last one is 4-4:30 since he gets exhausted. I’m just wondering if I should adjust anything in regard to sleep pressure or his wake windows. Any...

5/5:30am wake ups

Is it a phase? If so how long did it last? Going into the third week of 5/5:30am wake ups. Like properly awake for the day, will not go back to sleep no matter how hard I try. Nothing seems to change it - different bed times, different overall nap length, the room is blacked out, making sure the first nap of the day...

8m old - early rising and multiple wakes 🥱

My lg is waking before 6am every morning at the moment. With around 2 nighttime wake ups for about 20/40 mins each time. I need to break this habit, I’m considering going back to a 3 nap day. Has anyone else experienced this recently? Putting her to bed later hasn’t worked either when I tried that 🙈

Cup for milk rather than bottle

Is anyone using a cup for giving milk ? My little one won't take a bottle and I return to work soon so need an alternative to breast. I'm looking for one that is easy to clean and non spill ideally but would love to hear what you're using.

Is your 6 month old rolling, sitting, pulling them self up?

My baby is 6 months old and is still not rolling. They are sitting up if I sit them up but not able to sit themselves up from laying down. I am seeing a lot of 6 month olds are also pulling themselves up now or showing signs of crawling. Should I be concerned?

Could this be cmpa

Hi, My baby is 3 months old and feeding times are a struggle. She did have a tongue tie which we had cut and has never properly fed in terms of her latch as she struggles to suck. So she will work extra hard. But after every feed we find she is in such distress, she’ll cry and arch her back and just won’t be set...

Art and crafting with a baby

How do you find time to do projects when you have a baby? I rarely have time to myself and when I do it’s a short amount and I’m just so tired. Anytime I try to do something with the baby she just distracts me and wants to get into the stuff I’m using.
