Sleep

Does your lo go to sleep themself in the cot at night? Is this the only way to get them sleeping through? My lo wakes up every night to come and sleep in our bed because I don’t put her down in the cot to sleep herself I guess

We've always put our lo down in her own cot for naps and bedtime, and she has only had to come out a few times because of teething.

I hold mine to sleep still as its the quickest way to get her down and she sleeps through 60% of the time at the min so no its def not reliant on that! Equally some babies settle themselves to sleep but still wake up. Her waking and coming in with you doesnt depend on how she falls asleep ❤️

I hold mine to sleep and then transfer her, she sleeps through as long as there is nothing else going on, I.e teething, illness, regression etc! So probably 70% of the time xx

My little one has always gone down half asleep in his cot and has only just started sleeping through. I tried rocking to sleep co sleeping and popping him awake in the cot stroking his back leaving him etc. I think it's just down to the baby. Xx

I lie with my 3 year old to get her to sleep while my partner takes our 16 month old downstairs where she falls asleep on him. Then he brings her up to her cot which is joined on to my bed and she wakes constantly throughout the night for breast milk - ends up in bed with me. Neither have ever fallen asleep on their own 😫

They don’t need to go to sleep themselves to sleep through x

Help! First time mum -

I have a 4 month old and now all of a sudden when he’s been asleep for 1hr30/2hrs he will wake up screaming (high pitched) I’ve tried winding him sometimes that helps, I’ve tried bicycle legs & bringing his knees up but that doesn’t seem to help but he brings his knees up himself sometimes but nothing happens. I’ve noticed since the 4 month mark he has started to struggle passing wind downwards! Any tips?

Hour night wakes and 5am get up

Can anyone shed some light as to why on earth my child doesn’t want to sleep??? My eyeballs are bleeding!!

Never been a good sleeper, but the problems always changing. He’s nearly 9 months old.

Beginning of the month he dropped to 2 naps. We could put him to bed at 7pm and he’d get up for the day at 6am, with multiple wake ups every 2/3 hours.

Now we put him down at 7pm, he can do a good 4/5 hour stretch, but come 1/2am he’s up every hour then getting up for the day at 5am. This then completely messes up the day because I can’t keep him awake long enough to even get to 7pm, let alone later.

He has 2 naps, roughly about 1hr10 each but it changed based on when he wakes and trying to get him to a reasonable bed time.

What could be the reason for this? 6am is fine, but 5am is not 😩😩

Crying during feeding

Hey mams! My girl is 6 weeks on Monday and is having so much trouble with feeding. It doesn’t happen every feed but more often than not she will start a bottle and just start crying as if she’s in pain and she can’t take the milk. I think it’s trapped wind but I genuinely don’t know what to do it’s so pitiful to see her not be able to feed! She’s formula fed and on HiPP Organic.
Anyone else been in this position? I’m pretty sure it’s just a bit of trapped wind that she needs to fart out but can’t! If anyone has any advice I’d be very grateful as I think I may need to tape my eyelids open soon 😂

No more naps! 10 month old

For a few days now my 10m old has fought her 2 daily naps. Normally her wake windows were 3-4 hours and she is now eventually napping after a 6 hour wake window. Today was only one nap, she skipped the second one. Used to nap like clockwork so I’m wondering if anyone else is experiencing this? Also very unsettled most nights and doesn’t sleep well at all
