Yesterday, my baby boy was finally discharged from the neonatal unit. The night before, I did a room in stay with him which was rough as he is currently cluster feeding. Last night, he was very unsettled again. Luckily, I have a fantastic partner who told me to rest while he soothed our son to sleep after feeds. Pl...
Anyone else awake? Been up all night with my new born, she just wont sleep unless im holding her. Currently on 5 hours sleep over the past 2 weeks.
We have been going through what I have always assumed is the 4 month sleep regression for over 4 weeks now baby is almost 5 months. it got slightly better then a whole lot worse again after 3 days it’s now back to hourly or less wake ups unless he’s sleeping on my chest and relying on feeding back to sleep and I jus...
He is 5 months.... is golden during the day. Night time will come... and its like guessing games 😅 he goes down at 7.30pm...(he will have a final feed) Then at around 11/12 - we will dream feed him 6 onces (180ml) But he refuses it sometimes. Then he will wake us up 3am... crying.. we try to feed him.. he…
If someone else tells me to ‘nap when the baby naps’ I will cry! I know people mean well but it’s not possible. Baby either doesn’t nap long enough, there’s other things to be done, ie bottle cleaning, washing etc or quite frankly I just can’t shut off and sleep because I’m forever thinking of the next thing that’...
my girl is 10 weeks and occasionally i’ll wake up and she will be on her tummy in her bassinet. i think she just wiggles there when she’s gassy. i know im supposed to stop swaddling when she can roll but im not sure if this is a “real” roll because of how early it is!
Does anyone else’s baby wake up early in the cot then refuses to go back to sleep but as soon as they come downstairs sleep again for another hour…. 😴😴
My daughter goes to sleep between 6:30/7 most evenings. She doesn’t always drink her bottle dry anymore, then wakes twice in the night for another bottle and then waking at 5 a lot. Were shattered, I wouldn’t mind getting up at 5 if we hadn’t been awake multiple times before. Any tips 🫠
Hi all. Has anyone else found that they wake up loads in the night even if the baby is asleep? For the last 2-3 weeks I've been waking loads in the night even if my little girl is asleep. I'm a light sleeper anyway so if she stirs slightly I'm awake! Any tips on how to sleep better?
I wanted something different for my little lady and couldn't find anything I loved to decorate her bedroom so I made these for her from bamboo chopping boards I got on sale in the supermarket I'm so happy with how they turned out
I’m a back sleeper and I’m really struggling to adjust to side sleeping with my pregnancy pillow. I keep waking up on my back, which makes me worry, and also disturbs my sleep! I’ve also woken up with the pillow pushed out the bed and on the floor. It’s been about a month now and I’m still not used to it, sleeping s...
This has been an ongoing issue 😢 Bub is not fond of being changed at night. Even if i already have wipes warmer, he still wails so loud everytime. I dont think its the cold temperature. I sing a song as always. Daytime is fine but nighttime is a nightmare. Any advice??
Has anyone else’s baby become a really light sleeper during this sleep regression. I move an inch in the night and it wakes my baby 😳
My baby is 10 weeks old and I’m just wondering what age I should start putting her down for her naps in a dark room and where she sleeps at night?
I’m wanting to move our LO’s cot into our bedroom to see if it will help Him sleep better (he’s currently up every hour in the snuzpod) and we’ve tried everything and wondering if he’s no longer comfy on his snuzpod mattress. he’s just turned 5 months old has anyone got positive experience of doing this at this age?
I feel like my baby is asleep all the time, he occasionally cries like last night he had wet through his clothes and woke me up crying to be changed, but other than the occasional cry he just sleeps! He’s not even crying to be fed, so I’m having to set alarms every 2hrs, is this normal? When he is awake he is ju...
