So my partner works full time (7.30am - 4pm, 5 days per week), and since our little boy was born two months ago, he has only done one night shift, where I slept from 11pm - 5am. He’s been back at work for the last month, and sleeps in our spare bedroom. He gets at least 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep every night w...

Did anybody have this with their toddlers? For half of the night sleeps in ...
Should a man be expected to get up with the baby during the night, if he’s working? I breastfed my baby til she was 5 months old. She’s not breastfed anymore she’s 9 months old. I’ve been the only one getting up with her every single night. I work too but only 4 hours outside of the home too 10pm. I’m fucking exhau...

For over 2 weeks we’ve been trying to get in to a routine, of bed at 7pm, feed at 2/2:30am and up at 6am. Bottles in the day are then 6,10,2,6. LO is still waking every night at 11/11:30 and 5am, settles back eventually without a feed. Really need help on getting him to sleep through and only wake for the 1 feed!!...

After months of 5am wake ups, we managed about a month of 6am wake ups to be back at 5am again😭
Recently I've found my 16 week old won't nap at all. I try to put her down when I always did based on huckleberry suggestion but now she doesn't sleep at that time at all. Often wake windows are stretching well beyond 2hrs. Anyone else? Nap times are becoming exhausting. I don't want to just leave her because she'll...

I want to shout it from the rooftops… baby boy (6 and a half weeks old) pretty much slept thru the night last night! Slept in his bassinet from 10:30-2:30 (longest stretch there) and then slept with me in my bed (no judgement please) from 2:30-6! 7 and a half hours total!! I feel like a new woman this morning!
My baby is clearly tired but is screaming and crying and wont sleep for ages. Does anyone else experience this?
Hi everyone, looking for some advice please. My 11 week old sleeps well between about 9ish and 1/2 am which I’m so grateful for, but struggles to settle after feeds. He’s breastfed and when he wakes we do nappy change then feed, I burp him and he usually falls asleep then I hold him upright for 20 mins, then transfe...
