Is it time to drop the next to me down to the bottom now he can pull himself up to standing? He only does it when he's properly awake but sometimes he also wakes in the night and crawls over to snuggle me without waking me so I think it probably is. How did anyone else find the transition

Has anyone ever used the pick up put down method to teach their baby how to settle themselves? I never wanted to sleep train but this is the gentlest way I can think of. I don't actually have an issue with rocking her to sleep but it's the amount of times she wakes through the night I'd like to tackle. So my main q...

Please say it gets better 😢 little one is 6 weeks. Going through a leap plus a horrible cough and cold! - husband usually does the last feed but can’t settle little man and it’s taken hours. I have had to end up getting up and helping. Last night it took over two hours. I treasure the hours I get while my husband…

I don’t know if it’s just coincidence but we’ve been giving our little one a bit of a fruit pouch for the last two days and in turn her sleep has gone to shit. Hs anyone else experienced this or is just a crap coincidence?

I’m so done with creeping into bed. The past week I’ve slept in a separate room from my LO and partner. We are thinking of moving him into his own room earlier than 6 months… anyone doing/done the same ?

Originally I was going to get a next to me crib to go in the bedroom with us, and then our second room was going to be a nursery, however we’ve changed it so the second room is going to be my partner’s office (after a couple of tired nights from me interrupting him at his desk in the bedroom); would it work from bir...

I’m sitting here holding back tears. My baby won’t sleep through the night. Today is my first night alone as my husband goes back to work this morning. My baby’s 23 days old. It’s nearly 3am and I can barely see straight. I’m catching myself negotiating with my baby to sleep, yelling at her to sleep and just so frus...

My EBF near 6 month old has gone from 1 wakening to 4 overnight. Anyone else the same? Growth spurt? New skill?🫣

My little boy is 4.5 months and for at least 6 weeks every bedtime we have the same issue. He’s able to fall asleep by himself with no problems but when he enters into his next sleep cycle (usually 45 mins to the second) he cries until he is comforted and this repeats usually on average another 4 or 5 times until he...

Hi everyone, I’m a first time mum to a 2week old little girl. She has been extremely fussy particularly during the evenings. She will usually sleep all day only waking to feed but come 7pm - 3am she is awake crying and screaming and will not settle. We try all the usual things, feeding, winding, changing nappy, rock...

Tell me I’m not the only one - has anyone else’s baby NEVER slept through the night? I feel like all I see is posts saying the opposite

Regretting introducing my 10 week old to a dummy. Every time it falls out during sleep he wakes up crying, i try soothing him with my voice / placing my hand on him etc but it doesn’t work so i pop the dummy back in and he’s content for 5 mins until it falls out again and the cycle continues for hours. It’s driving ...

My 8 month old leaks through all nappies during the night. I’ve tried them all so thinking of trying pull ups. Which do you like the best? Apart from just pampers! If other please comment!! X

Would love to hear from others, as my little one naps (sometimes after a lot of persuasion, but he does) mostly it’s contact naps these days as if I move him to his pod he wakes up straight away or a short time later crying and won’t settle back to sleep. I use wake windows and try to get him as much sleep as he nee...

LB has in the past week started fighting his naps, crying every time he is put down and only sleeping around 1hr 20mins whereas he would’ve slept couple of hours or more. Also has started wakening up at 6/half 6 in morning which is very early for him. Could this be the 8 month sleep regression? We were hit extremely...

Strange question, how is everyone doing bedtime now our bubs have teeth. We’re brushing teeth in the evening but still doing bedtime bottle and then straight in the cot for sleep so her milk is sitting on her teeth overnight. If we done milk earlier and then teeth brush I don’t think she would settle as well

my baby’s just over 6m now and he is ADAMANT on sleeping on his front, every time i roll him back to his back, he just rolls back over, and after doing that for 5-10 mins he gets really aggy. i don’t like the idea of him sleeping on his front and he can’t roll back onto his back yet, is it okay for him to sleep on h...

So baby has just started rolling in the crib and she seems to prefer lying on her side/stomach. Everytime I roll her onto her back she's straight back onto her side/front. Any tips??

Does anyone else’s little one hate being changed? My boy gets absolutely besides himself during nappy changes, and even clothes changes. He’s 4 weeks tomorrow and it’s not getting any easier! I try and be quick, I use warm water and cotton wool for nappy changes so not getting him too cold. Tried using the dummy...

What time do your 15month olds nap in the day and then what time do they go to bed?
