Sleep is for the weak 🙃

Anyone else’s baby not like to sleep? LOL. My baby girl is about to be 5 months and I swear ever since she was 2 months old, she won’t nap for more than 30min, 3 times a day. She also will only sleep 9ish hours total at night.

Maybe one day she’ll nap for longer 🫠

Solidarity! We are also firmly in the crap nap phase with my 3 month old. If he makes it to 40 min it’s a miracle

Same here. Mine only naps once a day since she was 8 months old (1 year now). She often wakes up during the night too

Yeh this was us until quite recently but the day naps have started improving and we have the odd day where I’ve started to see a longer afternoon nap emerging. Often still needs work from me, eg walking in pram but it feels promising & I can start to believe that there might be a time soon where she’ll go down in her bed for a proper sleep 🤞🤞🤞

Similar total overnight for us, been 4 wake ups until recently but again that’s dropped back to 2 in last few days. Little girl just turned 6 mths

We’re in the exact same situation. Daytime naps have always been this shit tbh so I’ve kind of accepted that but she at least slept 12 hours overnight until a couple of weeks ago, she’s started waking up early in the morning and is now only getting 9 hours overnight 😭 idk how to fix it as I’ve brought bedtime forward but she’s just getting up earlier. I’m hoping the clocks going forward at the end of the month will somehow fix it?!

My 8 month old is currently doing 2 30-45 minute naps, but hey she usually sleeps decent chunks at night time. My oldest is my low sleep needs kid and I feel so guilty complaining about being tired now because of it. He did go up to a 2 hour nap when he dropped to 1 nap at 9 months, so there is hope there for that longer nap. He still won't sleep longer then 10 hours at night and thats if he sleeps in.

Are you putting her down for naps or contact napping?

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

5.30am wakeups 😫😴

My 15 week old has started waking up about 5.30am and is really hard to settle back down - it’s like he thinks it’s time to wake up for the day. He used to go to bed at 9pm and was up at 8am but now he goes to bed between 7.30-8pm as he’s knackered by then but waking up at 5.30am😴. Any advice to get him to sleep a little longer in the morning?! Even an extra hour would be lovely 🤣

New born

Finally had my baby girl via C-section on the 18th, everything has been so far. But I’ve noticed she’s very fussy and cries a lot. I’ve been trying to exclusively breastfeed. The lactation consultant at the hospital said I did look like I’m making enough milk for her. She was latching on good at the hospital and now here at home, she doesn’t seem to want to latch at all. She’s been crying a lot and very fussy. I’m just wondering is she’s colic or like maybe she just doesn’t want the breast anymore?
