May 2024 Babies❤️

This isn’t a concern, more of a query. I’m still breastfeeding my son who has just turned 18m. I’ve cut it down to just bedtime now. Recently he’s been feeding for a while, then stopping and pulling my top down to cover me up, then instantly wanting to go back on. Repeat a few times. Has anyone experienced this? It seems to be a bizarre little ritual that I’m not getting! It did just occur to me though - I wonder if I have limited milk now and he’s not getting much out. Could it be linked to naturally weaning or is he just being daft? It doesn’t feel like there’s any milk in there to me but there must be some.

My daughter is in the right size nappies however keeps leaking through at nighttime. I limit her water intake in the evenings but she wakes up each morning soaked. Any recommendations for nappies that will absorb more at night time? Or do I put her in the size up? Thank you!

Hi everyone,

I’m hoping for some advice or reassurance. My May baby has always been such a good sleeper, he’s been sleeping through the night since about 8 weeks old with only the occasional hiccup during sickness or a regression.

But this past week has been rough. Our usual routine is bath, bottle and then into the cot where he self settles. Now the second we put him down he screams bloody murder and we end up rocking him to sleep which can take up to 30 minutes. He’s also waking 1–2 times during the night and will only settle if he’s in our bed. On top of that, he’s suddenly waking for the day at 5:30–6 am instead of his usual 7 pm–7 am stretch.

Naps have also taken a hit, he used to do 2–3 hour naps and now we’re lucky to get 1 hour.

Is there a sleep regression around this age? Has anyone else been through this recently? Any tips on how to help him get back to his normal sleep would be amazing.

Thank you!

Is anyone else’s toddler hitting them in frustration and anger he’s 15 months but he’s proper slapping and kicking is there anything I can do to help him regulate / stop any suggestions?

If you asked me 2 weeks ago I would have said he was a good sleeper. For the last week and a bit it’s been taking an hour minimum to rock him to sleep. If I put him down he’s screams and screams until I pick him up and it’s starts again. You can see he is so tired but will close his eyes for a second then look if I’m there. Send help please!
