Any mums out here that have NOT sleep trained and their baby sleeps through the night now?
At what age did you start putting your baby to bed earlier for their ‘routine’? our baby is 8 weeks old and we go to bed around 10-11pm so baby doesn’t usually go down to sleep till 11ish every night, am worrying if I leave it too long to start an earlier bed time that they will always be used to staying up with us?...
Hi everyone Please can you let me know your feeding/ napping/ bedtime routine for your 7 month olds? Thanks!
Hi, I was wondering when everyone started doing set nap times in the day I haven’t yet and am unsure wether I should try and start (my little one is 9 weeks) I don’t really know where to start with timing and everything at the moment I’m just letting him sleep when he wants to.
Now I can’t complain about bedtime but when it comes to nap time my boy that is CLEARLY tired, screams bloody murder and gets SO worked up at naptime to the point where I actually feel like crying myself… when he does finally go to sleep it’s what 20mins and then he wakes up still tired! I’ve tried so many different...
We're struggling to find a cot bed with good reviews - there's always someone saying it's flimsy or the paint chips off! So looking for something tried and tested that will hopefully last us a good few years, with good quality wood and under £250. Also, we're based in Edinburgh and apart from Mamas & Papas and Smyt...
My baby just turned 3 months and fight his naps so much! He only takes 30 minute naps in the day about twice and is fighting sleep the rest of the day. Any tips to get him to nap longer? (He does sleep through the night)
My 8 month old wakes frequently many times through out the night and the only way she goes back to sleep is to drink breastmilk. Shes always been this way. Shes 8 months and 25 pounds. Any advice ?!
My 4.5 month old is still going to bed late (10:30-11pm) - he wakes up at 8:30-9:00am. We'd been wanting to move his bedtime earlier for a while now so that we can have some time to ourselves in the evening again. He is usually still wide awake until 10:30ish but had started to fall asleep on me at around 8-9pm a co...
Should I be going out everyday? I get huge mum guilt when we stay in but LO is either teething or sleep regression has started earlier than I thought, so night times have been horrendous. We either are catching up on sleep or LO screaming as she’s fighting her next nap!
Hi All! What is the best travel cot to buy? With Christmas and new year approaching we will be staying with family and our little one will only be 9 weeks! Any recommendations would be brill ☺️
Is anybody else psyching their baby out when you want them to go to sleep, so you lay down right next to ‘em & get all snuggly 🤗 & cuddly & make eye contact to see how sleepy they’re getting & act like your going to sleep right next to them???……& slip away 😏👁️ #GUILTY
For those whose 2 and a half to 3 year olds sleep THROUGH the night ONLY please 🙏..... What time does your little one nap and how long for (if they do nap) and what time do they go to bed??? Desperate to know other people's routines as we have been having terrible sleep for about 6/7 weeks now. Multiple night…
My 9 week old is breast fed but at nap time I can’t always feed to sleep (and I don’t want to). We’ve tried dummies and he will take it sometimes and other times spits it out. When he does take the dummy every time it comes out he wakes up and cries. I really don’t want him to become reliant on a dummy so have stopp...
I need a rant! My 1 year old goes to nursery for 5 hours on a Friday morning. She's been going since September and loves it. Never had any problems. Today they rang to say she had been sick so obviously we went to pick her up early, not a problem. Upon looking in the daily diary, it looks like they have been giving...
My girl usually wakes once at night somewhere between 2-4, I feed her and change nappy. The other night she woke at 12 so I didn't change it thinking she'd be up again later but she didn't and woke up at 6 an hour earlier than usual soaked through. We've always used mamia and had no issues but I know some people don...
