Is my baby sleeping too much?

My baby slept from 10pm last night, it’s nearly lunch and he’s still sleeping? Woke him up briefly to feed once in the morning, he woke up for 2 mins (crying) then slept again after comforted?? He’s 2months old I’m just wondering if this is normal as it worries me he’s asleep for so long!

Picture from Sunday

We started implementing "quiet time" as our son is starting to skip naps randomly. We know eventually his naps will disappear (he 2.5) so while he's still mostly napping we decided to introduce it now, especially since our second is due in June. Between 12:30 and 1pm we take him to his room with toys and a book or 2...

A positive post

I really hope people take this post as a positive and not that I am bragging or anything. I just find that everytime I come on the internet about anything baby related all I read is negative stuff & it makes me worry & stress and it took over my life when my little girl was first born! She has just turned 5 months ...

Reduction in nap time

Did anyone else see a reduction in nap length around 13 weeks old? My LG the past two days is barely napping a total of 3 hours in the day over 5 naps. The naps are only lasting 30 minutes. I seem to remember my son doing this and it didn’t resolve until he could consolidate his sleep at around 6 months. These a...

Wake windows - what to do

My little one is now awake for 2 hours at a time (4 months old) and I don't know what to do with her. We read books, sing and play. She's not able to grab things or roll. I'm finding it hard to fill 2 hours

No sleep regression?

I don’t think I have had any sleep regression yet? Her sleep definitely has changed since hitting four months, but she’s still sleeping through the night. As soon as her two feeds are done she is always back asleep in her bed. Do I keep waiting for it or just consider myself lucky this time.

Baby sleep and naps

Just curious ☺️ How many naps is your LO taking and for how long? How is their night time sleep? My boy recently went to two naps. First one is 2 hours and last nap 30 mins. But night time he still wakes every 2 to 3 hours.

Thoughts on husbands “baby proofing”

Husband said he could anchor the crib himself and I didn’t need to buy the pack of cables made to secure things like this

Winding

Absolute first time mam comment but when do you stop needing to wind a baby? Has anyone stopped yet? My girls never in discomfort if she falls asleep whilst feeding but I feel dead guilty if I don’t wind her 🥲

Baby won’t nap 😭

What is everyone doing if your baby won’t nap during the day. Some days he naps well and others he just won’t. I’m exhausted 😭😭 all I want is some time to myself to relax and everytime I try to put him down for a nap I look over and his eyes are wide open. He will shut his eyes like he’s tired for 2 minutes then…

Feeding

6 nearly 7 week old baby feeding every 2 hrs - is anyone else’s baby the same? I had an appointment earlier with a nurse about my scar, and she was having general conversation, but then kinda made me feel bad when I told her he was still waking every 2 hours for a feed at his age 🥲 I’m always paranoid about over…

Still waking 5 times a night

Okay, I’m feeding to sleep but I just don’t have the energy to get up 5 x a night and rock my baby back to sleep. Have I created this by feeding my baby to sleep? There hasn’t been a night since they were born where they’ve slept for more than 4 hours. I started out with my partner putting her to sleep with expresse...

My 12 week old all of a sudden won't go in his pram bassinet 🤦🏻‍♀️ I'm not sure why as he's always loved it! Went in it Friday absolutely fine but since Saturday just screamed his head off in it & again today when he had an appointment.

Side sleeping and co sleeping

How many people truly are 100% following safe sleep and their babies are staying sleep. When I lay my son (4 weeks old) in his bassinet he doesn’t sleep at all. I have to put the lounger in the bed and he often rolls to his side. I know this not recommended but it’s literally the only way he sleeps Any recommendati...

Baby sleep

Anybody else’s babe like this ?? My 6 month old still refuses to sleep in her own bed. The first 3 months of her life were hectic and she’d basically contact nap with the occasional naps in her bed and at night we’d start off in her bed and end up co-sleeping because she just doesn’t stay asleep in her own bed. When...

How to tackle bedtime alone with 2 kids

Hi, I have a 3.5yr old and a 5 week old. I’m wondering how to tackle bedtimes with 2 when it’s either my husband alone or me alone. The problem is we still lay with my toddler until she falls asleep which means I can’t then hold the baby. But if it put the baby down first my toddler is for sure going to wake the bab...

How does your toddler sleep abroad?

So we're off on holiday in June and my LO is in a standard single bed which I'm fine with BUT it's quite far off the ground. At home he sleeps in a toddler bed with a rail to make sure he doesn't fall out. How would you recommend having him sleep? We were thinking either putting the mattress on the floor but I can't...
