I’m starting to lose my mind from lack of sleep - feel like I am up constantly feeding my 4 week old. When I talk to other mums they all seem to be sleeping more than me? I never sleep more than 2 hours at once (she wakes up every 3 and takes an hour to feed) and in a night I’ll get between 3 and 5 hours between fe...

Hey mamas, posting as I need to vent and feel like no one understands!!😩 My little boy is 3 months old and we’ve bed shared since he was about 2/3 weeks old as he never settled in his Moses basket that well at night. I absolutley love bedsharing at night but I’m struggling with not being able to put him down during…

Just at wits end with nighttime now! LO just will not go back down to sleep after his first feed. He generally is asleep for 8.30/9.00 and will wake anywhere between 1-2am. Has a feed then is just pretty much awake for the night from this point. He may drift off for 15 minutes here and there but never lasts long!...

I'm in a bad habit of staying awake until I physically can't anymore, which is usually after baby's 2nd night feed at around 4am. I just feel so uneasy, and honestly it's more difficult to wake up after 2-3 hours of sleep than to just stay awake for that time.. but I just feel as though I'm too worried something wi...

I have tried everything! Put her down again about 10 times, cuddled her inside of her cot🙃 I literally couldn’t move but she went back to sleep for a whole 5 minutes 😭 and then I went on her bedroom floor and held her hand for half an hour but still wide awake so I have got up with her hoping she will go back in…

My LG has been going through a sleep regression for the past 2/3 weeks and has also started teething. She has been super fussy, doesn’t like being put down or being away from you, she’s off her food. Her 16 week jabs were on Tuesday and since then she’s been even fussier (if that was possible), waking through the ni...

Hi, my baby is 8.5 months old. She sleeps well for the first half of the night from 7pm-10pm roughly, will wake for a feed around this time (she's breastfed), and will then only sleep for an hour or so at a time. I tend to feed her when she wakes, as that usually sends her back to sleep relatively quickly. Then she'...

Since baby was born in June, after the first few weeks, he more or less always slept through the night. The last month he has become the worst sleeper in earth. Waking CONSTANTLY at night. It’s lasting far too long to be growth spurt or sleep regression. Has anyone else experienced this? How can we fix this as it’s ...

My little girl is 8 weeks, the last couple of days she has been a nightmare with her bottles. She screams bloody murder when she's hungry but she will only have up to about 3oz and the entire time it takes 45 minutes to drink and the entire time she's just squirming, pushing it away but then crying for it? She's nev...

This makes me sad..yes I’m that kind of mum. Baby’s first wake window can now be 3hours, he’s 7 months - is anyone else the same? I know normally our first wake window used to be our shortest but now it’s roughly 3 hours, huckleberry is always an hour before but no signs of tiredness. He doesn’t sleep through the ...

Thought I was doing well actually getting a early night at half 9. But iv been awake since 3am and wide awake 😴

Hi. My baby for last 2/3 weeks not sleeping very well at night anymore. Before that, for about a month he was sleeping 8-12 h at night with no wakings. Now max hell laps for 4h and need to get him and put him on breast otherwise he won't fall back to sleep. Then he sleeps 3h, then 2h. Is It normal? What could change...

Husband normally does the first feed of the day with our LO before he goes to work. I do the rest of the day including most of the evening and all night wakings. Husband is self employed and his job is very stressful for him at times. I work for my husband but am on maternity leave at the moment, although my job i...

I havnt had more than 2 hours sleep through the night for weeks my baby is waking for a feed every single night mYbe sometimes twice😖 She will scream if I don't. I'm really struggling an feeling the effects of not…

my baby just smacked his head pretty good on the crib rails… :( he has a little bump on his head.

Do you put your baby down for a specific amount of time and wake them up if they exceed that, or do you let them sleep?

We couldn’t put our LO down last night for hourssss! We sent her to bed at 9ish & she had a half hour, then till 3am it was impossible to put her back down, every time we tried she would wake up as soon as we tried 😩 she’d fall asleep instantly in our arms though. We tried everything- hot water bottle, co sleeping,…

Has your LO’s started the sleep regression yet? What does it look for for you? We’re on feed refusals and awake every 20 minutes 🫠

Anyone else struggling with their baby not settling in their cot at night. He seems to go down absolutely fine throughout the day but when it comes to night he will not stop crying until he’s sleeping on me or my partner. He was only born Tuesday afternoon but my partner is currently sleeping downstairs with our dog...
